Christmas for most people is about spending time with their family, opening presents, and eating. Christmas at my parents house is a little different, I get to spend time with Dad watching 30 episodes of “The Build” Motorcycle TV that he was featured on, then after that watch “Tales if Rat Fink”. Most girls in their 20’s couldn’t stand to watch 4+ hours of motorcycle and hotrod TV but this is what i grew up watching. And, that’s what makes me write this post. For anyone that has an interest in painting, t-shirt design or art really should watch this documentary. Ed Roth was the genius of outlaw art, known for his extreme custom cars & paint jobs, he was also the first person to ever airbrush a t-shirt and then go on to produce thousands of silk screen tee’s with racy monster graphics. You can check a preview of the movie out here or buy it here.
Luckily I left Boston just in time to avoid the foot of snow! But i still got to wake up to a beautiful snowy day in nyc Saturday morning.

So as I was walking to work this morning in the freezing rain, all I could think about was the Fuck the Rain Umbrella I saw a couple days ago. Desgned by Anton Schnaider from Art. Lebedev Studio its the prefect thing to carry on those rain shitty days.
