Kiddo has been collecting vinyl records for a couple of years now. When we realized it wasn't going to be a quick fad we helped them lean into the hobby, upgrading the turntable, making space in their room, encouraging their purchases, etc. For Xmas this year we got them, among other things, a bunch of new records. We also made them this book. The intro page I wrote explains it best. The text is pasted below and the images that follow are its contents.
“Well, when you like something, it's an opinion. But when I like something, it's a manifesto.”
- “Pike St. / Park Slope” by Harvey Danger
It’s never been enough for me to like music. I need to LOVE it. I need to FEEL it. I need to internalize the experience of listening to a song or an album in such a way that it rewires my neurons and rewrites my DNA. I need it to be good enough to change me on a fundamental level. I suppose that’s why I don’t hold too many casual opinions about music. If it’s worth my time, then it’s worth a leather-bound dissertation on what it means to me and why it matters.
One of the things that excited me most about being a parent was getting the opportunity to share music with my child. Not just to teach them about what music I loved, but how and why I loved it. I wanted that child to see the connections I made between experience and lyrics; between emotion and melody and learn how to make those same kinds of connections themself. Seeing the way YOU feel and experience and love music at a cellular level has been, for me, one of the great rewards of parenting. Even if I fail at everything else, I take comfort and pride knowing that I’ve helped teach you to appreciate the profound effect music can have to entertain, to soothe, to comfort, to hurt, to remind, and to transport us through space and time.
"Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time."
- Jean-Michel Basquiat
In this book you’ll find your mother’s and my thoughts on our favorite albums. Not just OUR all-time favorites, but specifically our favorites that are also YOUR favorites. As you add to your collection, we will add to this book. Feel free to add your own, and to write anything you like about the music that you love in the pages in the back. If my voice is the melody that drives us forward, and your mother’s heart is the rhythm that holds us together, then you are the harmony that completes and elevates our song.
I love you, we love you.
- Dad

We have new #Pride Pins, Magnetic Mask Charms and BRAND NEW Apple Airtag Key-rings, with LOTS MORE to come!
2 months ago our shop was shutdown by Etsy for intellectual property violations. After 2 entire months of relentless effort, we have successfully lobbied the copyright holders to withdraw their claims and our shop was released from Etsy jail! This almost NEVER happens, so it’s pretty incredible that we’ve been given this second chance. Going forward there won’t be any more pop culture related items. WE KNOW these types of things make up at least 50% of what’s currently on etsy, but these are just sellers that haven’t been caught. What’re gonna do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? Our focus is now on cute and cool items that promote inclusivity, equal rights, and generally not being a jerk to people. Here’s to phase 2!

I’ve labeled this version 7 of the RetroPie classic arcade/console handheld that I made for Kiddo for Xmas, but it’s actually the 8th or 9th iteration as evidenced by the box of failed parts. Most of the trouble came from me just assuming the designer who made the original version had bothered to check any of their measurements. They had not. These assumptions prevailed until about version 5, when I completely started over from scratch. I am particularly proud of the magnetically attached battery door. Everything should have magnets. Everything. After 2 months I’m calling this one good (for now). I’ve already worked up@version 8 which addresses a few flaws in the current design. Once they’re all prepped and ready, I’ll post everything on Thingiverse for others to enjoy and tinker with. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWht0HBKKV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a1puo1ethr97

And once more for the people in the back.
I don’t know why the Candy Hearts people hired me, but I’m earning my keep.

Merry Potter! Harry Christmas! Our laser cut Marauder’s Map is finally finished and hung. This project has been months in the making. Huge thanks to @davidmalki for taking my idea from photoshop file to fruition. The footprints are held on with magnets and can be moved around the boards. If you participated in my house cleaning sale, THIS is what I was raising money for. Thank you all so much!

Here’s my cover of “The Origin Of Love” from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. One of my favorite songs from my absolute favorite musical (sorry, Hamilton).

I went a little nuts on my wife’s birthday present this year. The box is modified off the shelf, the wold sigil is 3D printed from a file I found and modified, Winterfell is 3D printed from a file I found, the text, roads and trees are 3D printed from designs I made, the land masses are cut, carved and glued from wood by hand, and the entire thing was hand painted by me. All total I’m guessing 50 hours went into this over 2 week’s start to finish.
