We bought a new couch today. So we rotated our old living room couch to the basement room, and then pitched the old basement couch (pictured above). We’ve had that one since college — it was a hand-me-down from my wife’s parents. It was such an awesome couch that I had to snap a picture of it. I can only hope that the new one will be as good.

Mugshot Monday - “Handle Deficient Mug titled ‘Mae’” w/ Nicaraguan Medium Roast by Peace Coffee.

I made this mug in 1991 while studying abroad in Osaka, Japan at Kansai Gaidai. My sensei, Yoshio Inomata, was this incredible instructor who learned to speak English with his students by teaching his Japanese Ceramics course over the years. His hands were like clay.

All of my mugs died in the kiln because I couldn’t make the damn handles work. I really wanted a mug, so I made one without a handle. And I thought it would be a good idea to somehow indicate which way was the front of the mug, so I chose the Japanese Kanji character “Mae”, which means ‘Front’ or ‘Before’, as art.

Other than being a little difficult to hold, this has become one of my favorite mugs.

Four thoughts: 1) This is awesome. 2) I am old. 3) I miss the old big fat boomboxes. (Today’s models suck.) 4) Interesting to think how this scene would have been different, or may have never even been scripted, if the movie was made in 2010.

Don’t be an ass: credit the artist.

soupsoup:

homeofthevain:

If you’re posting someone else’s work, credit them. Don’t deliberately remove the name of the artist. That’s just wrong. If your reasoning is that it’s own personal scrapbook — then keep it personal, not public. If it’s public, the least you can do is credit the artist and link back to their site, or at least their Wikipedia entry.

When I see something I like not credited — I try to track down the source, if for no other reason than to find more art by the same person. Consider this a small payback to the artist whose art you liked enough to post on your Tumblr. Use Tineye to track down original visual art — it’s easy to use, and takes no more than 10 seconds to do a search.

And that was your PSA for today. In the next episode: public shaming.

Love, Nikola

Totally agree with Nikola, and I try to do the same thing — try to track down the source. It’s important. (Appreciate the tip of using Tineye, thx!)
