Get it? Cuz it's Easter? Hahahahaahahahahaha!!!
Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate that. We did, sort of. Nothing big and crazy, like we normally do, but some baskets and a little candy... we're getting ready to leave this week, so things are sort of crazy, with the impending travel and all. I know I said I might say where I was headed... just can't really seem to get into that... I'll probably tell you about it when I get back, instead.
All over amazing things happening otherwise, but, well, more on that later too, lol. Sorry, I'm a bit scattered-- traveling seems to do that to me. I'm not a good traveler. I hate flying, it's physically painful for me, (screaming ear pain, feel like my head is going to explode-- super fun) which adds to the stress. I think sensitivity to air pressure might be a genetic thing, I know my brother and cousins have a debilitating time with it, too. Eh, well. What are you gonna do? If anyone has any tips (I always chew gum and wear earplugs, although neither does a damn thing for me.) I'd be happy to hear 'em!
Buuuuut, moving on! So, if you've been following for awhile, you remember the infamous retro tv I made for HBO. The tv that drove me crazy, that nearly killed me, that made me cry, lol. Yeah, you remember. ;) Well, I made the decision to take back the control, lol. Yeah, I know, this is going to sound sort of therapy-ish, or something, but it's sort of a mindset thing. Instead of remembering the bittersweet torture it put me through, I decided to freakin own it, and totally master the retro tv. So, with that in mind, I've spent some time over the last few weeks, making a limited edition line of televisions. Aside from a few tweaks & upgrades, they are the same as the "famous" Brick Novax tv's. Except they're a little better, lol. ;)
You can see the original tv "in action" here, if you like:
Obviously you guys know, having taken the HBO journey with me, that these tv's hold a strange and special place in my heart, and are also a huge pain in the ass to make, lol. That being said, once they are gone, they are officially goooooone. I won't be making them again. The run is limited to twelve, and available to purchase through the etsy shop, or, if you prefer, directly through me. Just email me if you'd rather get one that way. My email's on the side over there, if you need it. I know some people have an aversion to etsy, or signing up/in to purchase things online, or whatever, so that's fine.
And now, on to the best part, the photos. Now, let me just make it totally clear, these tvs do not work, lol. So, you will notice a bit of photo manipulation going on in some of these, my photoshop obsession was dialed in loud an clear. But hey, at least all that editing experience is finally coming in handy! Plus, you can see what's possible with a bit of imagination! ;)
That last pic is my favorite. I had sooooo many horror movie sleepover marathons in jr high and high school. (And beyond-- okay, I still have them now if you count living with my boyfriend an endless sleepover, which I pretty much do, lol!) But that one resonates with me a lot. :) Plus, the lighting/editing turned out pretty badass.
Aaaanyway. I guess that's all. This will probably be the last post I make before we leave, so know that I'll be gone and unavailable for the most part between April 27 and May 3. Any orders placed in the shop during those dates will ship out when I get back. Hope everyone had a nice Easter, and has a great week!
hugs!

Thanks for posting the link to the movie again. I had trouble seeing it before. Turned out great! Good luck with your trip. I have an idea of where you may be headed. I'm probably so far off base, but I like guessing games. Be Safe!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the trip.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1970s in Philly, there was a Saturday afternoon horror show that my sisters and I watched. Oh that was fun. Thanks for reminding me about it ;-D
Love your photos, especially the last one with the Momokos.
The TV looks wonderful and brilliantly made. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteSo remember those horror movie sleepovers. But I think having them with your honey is better. If you get freaked out you can cuddle with him. :-) LOVE the tvs. You did the right thing going after it like you did. Now I bet you can put one together in your sleep. Such an awesome set. Why is everyone making such cool stuff when I don't have the monies to get them? LOL! Oh well, I will just have to live through your awesome pictures until I can. Loving the Mork and Mindy on the screen. Nanu! Nanu! ;-) Hope your trip was awesome.
