Bored with a record shop.

Ever wondered what goes on when the proprietor of secondhand record shop at the butt end of the world chucks in the towel and goes back to having a life??

Giant Medallions In The Making

…in lieu of t-shirts with the Too Tone Records logo on, I’m making giant medallions for the coming summer season…img_3207img_3209img_3337img_3338img_3343img_3492img_3494

…they’re about 2 foot across…one size “fits” all….

….bring a big chain….

…and how do you transport bulk medallion templates?….img_3349

…all tied up with string of course.

A Funny Thing Happened To Me On The Way To My 500th Post

…sketches & finished “art” for the Last Gasp logo competition….Scan 219Scan 220Scan 221Scan 218

 

…this comp’ ate my home work….

…as the feed that put me on to it said “everyone loves drawing skulls & bones”….

…back to the grind this week ….

…after I’ve drawn more skulls & bones.

…(I was hoping to put up something a little more spectacular for my 500th  post….but this is all I have…it really did eat a lot of time….esp’ the patterny thing I posted yesterday…).

Name Changed To Protect Identity

…customer “A” recently had a nasty medical emergency which involved his retina peeling off the back of his eye….

…luckily our local medical professionals caught it in time and were able to glue it back on…

…unluckily he has to wear an eye patch while the glue sets….

….even worse, he received zero sympathy from his local record shop owner…IMG_1524

 

…in fact, I’m surprised I could stop laughing long enough to take this photo…

…and have just realised it would have been even better if I’d managed to get the Too Tone logo into the shot as well!…

….come back customer “A”, we need to re-shoot this.
