flashback friday favorite ~ gumby for president

this large vintage gumby for president button was a promotional item in conjunction with the release of fhe's gumby for president vhs videotape ~

from 1987 ~

& i'm also fortunate enough to have this vintage gumby for president t-shirt from 1983 ~

i'm fortunate because this cool item was generously donated to gumbyland for safekeeping ~

village mews company ~

art clokey ~

& is in fact signed on the back by art clokey back in the 80's when he gave talks around the college circuit in california ~

toxic attended an honors geology course down at lbcc in socal at the time & was heartbroken to realize she'd missed art clokey's talk there, so this item feels like a missing piece.. a lost & found item in spirit ~

thanks again deborah! this has been a flashback friday favorite post from 2015.. i'd support a gumby & goo ticket! remember to vote!!! ~

flashback friday favorite ~ radiohead

i have been enjoying thom yorke's latest cd, anima, which i just received for my birthday, so today's flashback friday post is everything radiohead, from a mother's day of the past ~

ok, so today the new & possibly last radiohead album is supposed to drop & i can't think of anything that would make me happier for mother's day! so my focus is all radiohead today, as i've been obsessed with them from the very beginning.. i even have a radiohead themed playroom for goodness sake ~

of course i have all the cds & dvds & i used to get all the rares from a little shop in belmont shore called fingerprints back in socal ~

the king of limbs, in rainbows vinyl & the universal sigh ~

stanley donwood's kid a & amnesiac books ~

vhs, ephemera & promo items ~

pins, badges & buttons ~

my test specimens page ~

i've just listened to the new album, a moon shaped pool, & i really love the ending of the video for daydreaming ~

by the way, have you been to my art gallery? (note: firefox or google chrome browser required here for sound, use an old laptop or pc since phones steal away the music) ~

p.s. happy mom's day to all moms.. here is my card :( :) ~

sound up for a taste here paired with my latest art album.. ~

flashback friday favorite ~ frog & toad

my favorite books to read to my son when he was little were arnold lobel's frog & toad stories ~

i even painted them for his room (now they're on the toy room wall..) ~

i also found this cute journal which i just started writing in this spring ~

these little plush guys by crocodile creek are not more than 6" tall ~

there were great stop-motion clay animated shows made of frog & toad's adventures that showed on public broadcasting back in the mid 80's on long ago & far away hosted by james earl jones, i taped them to vhs but would love it if they'd come out on dvd.. (toad was voiced by hal smith, who also voiced goliath, among many others) ~
