A couple of random facts I just found:
 
Craig Ramsay is the 4th leading scorer in Sabres history, with 672 points (252 goals, 420 assists).  He had a +328 +/- rating for his career (all in the regular season).

 

I always liked Rammer.

Bonding with the Columbus Blue Jacket's gameday poster dude on twitter about painting/artist woes.

 

God he's got a sweet gig. One of these days I'll find the time/energy to make a bunch of Sabres ones and convince Pegula Sports Entertainment that they need me to do it full time.

I realize it might not be your style, but BRUTE! style (as seen on KMFDM album covers) hockey posters would be so boss.

 

BTW, I saw this and though of your previous employer:

haha I dig that style. It's a lot of fun to do. Very Communist poster. If I were to do a bunch of posters, I'd do a whole ton of different styles. Really try out a bunch of things and have fun with it. 

 

And that article- all the former female employees sent it to each other already hahaha

 

We weren't THAT bad of course, but the culture and harm done by it certainly has some parallels. 

 

My ex coworkers were all comparing vomit stories graphically on twitter the other day from a hardcore drinking night that caused them all to lose most of a workday. Charmin' times that I do NOT miss. I may be constantly on the edge of financial ruin and wondering if my entire life is a mistake, but I'm still happier than if I'd stayed there.

I never thought of them as woodcut-like before reading that about them tonight, but that's a pretty apt description. MrsPie has some Roycroft wood cut prints around there that are pretty cool.

Wow, really??!! Man, I love that era. If I could do an entire house in Greene & Greene, vintage Stickley, and Roycroft I'd be over the moon. Arts & Crafts era and Art Nouveau are just so stunning. There's a museum in Paris, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, that's just full of all that exquisite stuff, plus every other decade of interior design as well. My favorite museum out of all the ones I went to.

I think we'd both be down with having the whole house done up in Mission, although she likes a lot of Art Nouveu too. I'm undecided. :) I should say, the prints aren't original but some of the more current Roycroft Artisans; originals would be way cool. We have an original Roycroft Power House roof tile; someone had a bunch and sold them not too long ago. It's kinda silly, but we both grew up a few miles from there so it reminds us of home.

 

Our wedding reception was at the Roycroft Inn, which is just an incredible room. The guest rooms are sweet too. Stock photo:

I need a drooling emoji.

 

Sabills on here got married at the Lafayette downtown Buffalo- lots of gorgeous Art Deco. First wedding I ever went to, and tied for best still. I don't know how much I care about getting married in a place like that, I just want to go and stare and drool on everything. 

 

Those tiles are awesome- hang on to that!!!

The Inn serves a nice brunch and dinners, take d4rk! :)

 

Wrapping up Arts and Crafts Decor Chat for now :) :

Playing with Science is a spin off of Star Talk Radio (with Neil DeGrasse Tyson), and they're doing a two-part podcast on the physics of hockey and what not. Good listen for some not-obvious stuff about shots and sticks. The hosts are chuckleheads, but worth the listen.

So I woke up this morning to 26 Shirts asking if I was interested in doing some work with them.... I'm so stoked. I love the idea behind what they do. God, the magic of twitter sometimes...

That's awesome, I love their stuff and their mission. I've bought several things from there and have been happy with each purchase. Hell, if my impulse control was a bit worse, I could probably fill a closet.
