Hard To… Open Stuff
Hard To… Open Stuff
There are things in this world made by nature and made by humans that are not suitable for humans. This is a look at the things that are hard to open.
Stuff Kids Can’t Open:
1. Jam. Jam is tough. It confuses the would-be opener with its stickiness and promising aroma. Adults can typically use logic to get around these distractions.
2. Eggs. Anyone can open eggs, it’s just the usability afterwards that matters. This is where kids fail with eggs.
3. Gym Membership. No gym that’s worth going to is going to let a kid get a membership, so be sure to ask the gym if they’d let a kid off the street sign up for one before you do.

Stuff Both Adults and Kids Can’t Open:
4. Milk Cartons. Waxy paper paired often with a dire need for its contents makes the carton a hard thing for anyone.
5. Medicine Bottles. No complaining here because this is an important one. I’d rather everybody die than have kids be able to open my medicine bottles better than me.
6. Green Banana. We know this is the best time to eat one, but the bananas know this too, and won’t give up the chalky goodness easily, for anyone.

Stuff Adults Can’t Open:
7. Kid’s Piggy Bank. Adults can, it is however not advised, especially if it’s a kid you have some responsibility to. Loose-moraled kids will later break your piggy bank for concert or school supply money.
8. New Technological Device. I’m not saying adults can’t do computers, I’m saying they can’t do computers that were released after the year they got a real job.
9. Hot Dog Buns. They make these things for people with dagger fingers or adults with kid-sized hands. Kids can’t even keep them clamshelled, but at least they can get their dog in there.

This MLB postseason has been a stressful time for Orioles fans (and all others for that matter). I've taken to drawing O's logos while I listen to the game to reduce my freakouts. I think they should randomize the birds on player's hats. One bird a piece! Dibs on angry baby-bird. If you're interested in the logo history, check out this awesome post.

Space Game - concept art for a tower defense game based in space.
Ghost Ghoster - character designs for a game about putting ghosts to rest.
Good good, Good bad, Bad bad: An American Werewolf in London
I got a new scanner! So, folks, you can expect to see a lot more real life art, if you get my meaning. Watched An American Werewolf In London last night and it was straight up Good good. Another campy but seriously made horror movie. I particularly liked how afraid the guy was of becoming a wolf and eating folks.

I DR NY
My wonderful friend has been going to medical school for long enough to be forced to decide where to do her residency. The possibles were Boston, NYC, or Philadelphia. Thankfully for all, especially me who has come to rely on her medical advice, she will remain in NY! As a not-going-away present, I painted her a little something because she will, in fact, be stethoscoping New York. Watercolor (which is awesomely cheap) on water color paper (which is awesomely pricey.)

Bird 4: House Sparrow
The ultra-common, often ratty, occasionally cute House Sparrow. These guys are all over the states, and Brooklyn is no exception. Commonly found fighting pigeons for bread.
Stop A Thing - PSH
Everyone, I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs. I have never thought to share any of that on the blog until now which is precisely why you’re getting this and an illustration about something in the song!
New art for a new mix, filled with 70s and 80s pop from The Other Side. Many of these artists have become fast favorites of mine (especially Akiko Yano, Miharu Koshi and Dip in the Pool). No 80s Japanese pop mix would be complete without YMO, as described in the album art. Anyway, enjoy! Visit my site! Visit my new, pretty blog!

The Other Side - Side B by Austineustice on Mixcloud
Hello all! I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs and have been doing so for a whole lot of years. I've decided to put out a compilation collecting tracks from the first four EPs I made during 2005-2007. There is some good stuff in here, some rougher stuff but it's all the stuff that's made me who I am as a maker today. All instruments played and songs written by me. Hope you enjoy! Take a look at the newly set up Bandcamp page to download this puppy for free (but don't let that stop you from spending copious amounts of digi-cash on it). Thanks.
