I am a bloggin’.

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

It’s hot as hell outside. The trash smells worse… like hot trash.
Jarritos soda is pretty delicious. If you are a Cherokee Street native, you should probably start going to the Mexican grocery stores and buying it, the mango kind.
Anyway, Cranky Yellow has been rearranging and has a few new artists and random fascinating objects.
Here are a few examples:

The shelves are no longer a place dominated by books!

Some nice cards by Ginger Dead. (The second one from the left reads “I love you more than frozen peas and STDs.”)

A belt and a pot holder by Galacticat

A snail puppet and a shirt by Megan.

We have some nice masks by Ryan Frank! And a nice gray critter… who looks slightly confused but is oh-so soft!

And some great hemp jewelry by Beatnik Banana.

More soon!

Home of Amazing Things

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

My dreadful day was basically brutalized by an atrociously alienating alliteration of dumb depression. Though I’m a sack of silently slithering sadness, you can still stop by Cranky Yellow. You’ll find an awesomely almighty algorithmic assortment of ridiculously rad jingle junk and happy hordes of handmade happenings. Duh.

Coke Head Doll

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Daniel, our new part-time designer, quickly made this doll after work yesterday! It is sitting quietly in the CY office waiting to be unleashed on the world. Soon you might see it for sale in the shop… That is if we ever want to get rid of it… but why would we do that?

Hello Cranky Blog Readers!

Friday, May 29th, 2009

David was going to show me how to blog, but then he started bleeding and said “I’m bleeding, I’m bleeding, I’ll be right back.”

Now that he is back, we can continue this blog experience.

So today I learned how to post things on etsy.com and flickr.com, though it was a process of trial and error, and I did fail a few times.
When I finally finished, I succeeded in posted such lovely things as:

Oh, BTW, my name is Amanda Beard. I am Cranky Yellow’s newish employee. I am not actually a new employee, I am just being paid now. I take photographs for the store of the merchandise and sometimes of the events. I helped take a lot of the photos for the Crammed Organisms book. I am a photography study at Webster University and will be getting a nice new digital camera sometime during the fall semester, so look out for a great improvement in the quality of photos around that time! Anyway, you’ve probably seen me around, but to put a name to a face, I am on the right in the picture below. That is Casey Jones on the left, this was at Indie Valentine in 2008.

Tea Partied

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Okay, so it’s about time I tell you losers (yeah, losers) about the tea party Angelo organized that EVERYONE missed out on. I don’t CARE what your excuse was, you should have been there! What ‘prior commitment’ tops peach tea, banana chips, walnuts, a strange orange vase thingy, Alice in Wonderland/Little Bo Peep/teatime type dresses, my sweetie pie little sister, and Angelo’s hilariously dark Tarot card readings? That’s right…nothing! I think we can all agree that Cranky Yellow’s April 26th, 2009 was better than your April 26th, 2009. Definitely.

Don’t worry, Angelo may decide to pour hot water over dried leaves again some future Sunday afternoon. If you want that to happen, you best be on your crankiest behavior! Make sure to stop by for Crap Glued to Crap and I Feel this Friday and Dali’s Liquid Ladies this Saturday. We won’t tolerate comments like “Two nights of partyin’ in a row is too much!”… Madness is essential for the ideally harmonized cranky soul. Let’s make stuff happen.

David on a Unicycle

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Check out my handmade costume and custom decorated unicycle. I was working on that shit for 3 nights solid. I think the pink tights pulled the whole costume together.

This was all put together with love for the People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street for the Cinco De Mayo celebration! It was amazing… all of the artist costumes were so awesome. I couldn’t believe I was a part of it. I’m still at a loss for words. Eeeeep. I’ll leave it at that!

The photo above was taken by the groovy Courtney Chesley!

She also took this video of me taking off on the Unicycle… but I’m going to try to snag it for our youtube channel!

That’s all. Kind words about the costume might batter me into making more. Who knows.

See the Precision Angle of Grimace

Monday, April 13th, 2009

That’s right. We have master Grimacing skills. Just look at this photo of Angelo and Myself posing with South City Studio’s daughter. Our angle of putrid-dis-taste is completely in-tune. We are harmonious crab-sters!

You know: if you ask to have your photo taken with us, you’ll be ensured professionalism and quality cranky performance. We mean serious business.

I’m going to die

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

A few days ago we received a hilarious fuck-x-mas card in the mail from artist Jane Linders. The best part, though, was this spot-on stencil of her spray-painted on the envelope . When I first pulled the mail from our box, I double guessed myself and thought “Nooooo, that can’t be Jane Linders”. Then I flipped the letter over and saw it was from her and I started laughing. The likeness is incredible!
