Barack Obama, Yetibama Buttons with Gama-Go & Badge Bomb
October 7th, 2008

Yetibama Back In Stock - Let’s Get It Out There!
The Yetibama design is officially a hit. We’ve sold through two runs of the shirt and have raised over $1350.

With exactly 4 weeks left in the campaign - let’s fire it up and get the Yetibama love out there. We just received our third-round of shirts and want them spread far and wide to
all the Joe six-packs and hockey moms across America. To make it happen, we’re going to sell the shirts at cost. While supplies last, they will be $10.
Additionally, every order will also get a Yetibama 1.25″ button (provided by BadgeBomb.com) and a 4″ sticker. There will not be any further donations at this price.
If you’ve got a grandma, a cousin, a next door neighbor, a friendly bus driver - get them on board the Yetibama train as it roars into the station on Nov 4th.
Retard Riot’s Noah Lyon - an interview with Spraygraphic
October 7th, 2008

Interview with Noah Lyon
SG: Please tell us about yourself?
NL: Let me answer that question by answering the next 14 questions.
SG: Where do you currently live and work?
NL: New York City
SG: What mediums do you work with?
NL: I’ll take a medium and take it to the extreme. So it would be way more than medium, more like maximum. Maximum rock’n’roll. Maximum markers. I use paper too. But maximum doesn’t always mean the biggest it also could be, like, the smallest. So I’ll take a 1”x 1” piece of paper and make the most incredible drawing ever, nowhere near medium, if it were a pepper it would be the most hot and if it were Bob Marley it would be the most high. One-inch drawings turn into one-inch buttons & I’ll make the most of that too. Like make the maximum amount of buttons. I think 50,000 might be the max. Anyways that’s where I’m at right now. Way beyond medium. Push it to the limit, walk along the razor’s edge. I’ll make a painting with no paint. Is that medium or minimum? I try to work as little as possible. Minimum work, maximum results, any medium, bring it on.
SG: Describe your working process when creating a new work.
NL: Like I said no work is the best work so usually I’ll take something old and try to pass it off as new. I do work about 10 years in advance just so I can sit around doing nothing all day. That’s conceptual art.
SG: What kind of things do you do when you get blocked or find it hard to create something?
NL: I pull my boxers up to my nipples and walk around the house. You’d be surprised. A lot of really old men do that with their pants. They wear the waist of their pants around the middle of their chest. That’s where I get a lot of my ideas from, the elderly. So I’ll strip down to underwear & yank them up really high. That’s pretty much the equivalent of me putting on my thinking cap. Who the cap fit, let them wear it, that’s what I always say. For my birthday (September 11th - gifts and honorariums are always welcome) my wife is going to buy me a rasta hat with big dreadlocks attached to it. I think that should help with the creative process. I also like prune juice. I make my own corn syrup free Dr. Pepper. The secret ingredient is prune juice. That’s one reason people call me Doctor Ninja.

U2 Button packs invade a record store near you
September 11th, 2008While I’m sure most of these are gone by now, it was cool to stumble up one of our creations on the interweb over on U2’s Blog. One Inch Round made these packs for U2 back in July for the U2 Boy, War, and October Remasters.

From @U2 Blog
Still haven’t purchased the Boy, October, or War remixes? But you’re planning to? Okay. Or maybe you’re a collecting completist and don’t want to have a hole in your collection?
This post is for you.
Universal Music is distributing a set of four U2 buttons that’s free when you buy any one of the remastered CDs at select stores in the U.S. There are only 5,000 button sets to go around, and — this is kinda cool — with one or two exceptions, they’re not available at any of the Big Box music stores. You have to go support your independent music store to get the buttons. The full list of stores that has or had, since supplies are limited is available below. But first, here’s what they look like.
Fun stuff.
