i’m back…again

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Once again I’ve left my blog go without updates:( Sorry to all the readers out there. I’m back now after a busy week spent traveling to concerts and such. I spent a few days in Philadelphia just to get away for a bit. I had so much fun I just didn’t want to leave. Could there be a move to Philly in my future…we’ll see.

Yesterday we (fiance & I) went to Penn State to see Barack Obama speak as part of his Road To Change Bus Tour. It was AMAZING!!!

Being only 5 foot 4 was not to my advantage, as there were more than 20,000 people there. All of which seemed to be taller than me:) All in all my break from the blog world was fun but now I must get back to work. I’ll be back in a jiffy with my regular postings!

Obsessive Consumption

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Kate Bingaman-Burt makes her painfully mundane purchases irresistible or at least gives us something to make us feel less self-concious about how frequently we spend to fill the void. She is Obsessive Consumption.

Obsessive Consumption started in 2002 when Kate decided to photograph all of her purchases and in turn create a brand out of the process to package and promote.

She is currently hand drawing all of her credit card statements until they are paid off, drawing something she purchases each day and continuing to make piles of work (zines! pillows! photographs! buttons! more drawings!) that all fits into this brand she’s built which mocks her own relationship with her purchases.
