Buttons!!


So..  Ann came over yesterday.  And she brought pieces enough to make probably over a hundred buttons.. and she brought over her very own button press! and she brought pens and a little watercolor kit.. and she done strained us some kava, yo!  Wow.. it pretty much goes without saying, but "We like Ann!"
"I just ordered a thousand more of these guys.." she squeezes through a mischievous grin.  "Let's make some Wells merch!"
 And make, we did.. About a handful of buttons.  Although, I feel it is safe to say that the quality of the buttons far exceeded the quantity.  The most important thing here, is that we all enjoyed ourselves.. in the company of ourselves, while creating.. art?  Right?  Right.  So, be on the look out for Eyeball Burp! and Wells of People buttons!  And once you get your hands on some.. you can pin them on your bookbag, or your favorite hat!  Use one to mend a broken zipper or a relationship on the rocks! ..well, probably not a relationship on the rocks.. but maybe..

Geography

I'm in the business of creating geography.  Well.. really, we all are.  And capturing topography in moments in moments. Of movement. And, in time.. memory.

"Things ain't what they used to be.."

They always were.  And when they went and changed, we wondered what they always were.  All along.  Along the coasts and plains. The crests of mountains and the lows of valleys that made lakes. We've camped out and trained trails into the wild. We've given names to the places we've seen.  We've sounded them out and we've woven them into a familiar fabric.  Where there were holes, we stitched seams.  We took care of the connections we made between things.  We waited for physics.  And sometimes, when we thought no one was watching we'd believe in magic.  And we'd lean ourselves against the wind. Lend our eyes to the sky.  We'd keep our ears to the ground.  And wait for physics.  To run its course. To give us a sign.
