<div style="text-align: left;">The title comes from a lack of normative art supplies i had. I laughed throughout the exercise because the vain challenge I took up as if making some social impact and winning the hearts of Americans through my selfless act of painting, I set fourth a tumultuous task of painting deer. I was at Coffee Bean and I was feeling quite political and smug about my ecological ideology (*don't get me started). I had only but a pen and paper... also, the unexplored resources littering shelves and counters of Coffee Bean (see the bleeding heart analogy and/or metaphor that I so indelicately prodded *hint, We need new solutions and resources to solve the ecological issues we face today i.e. powering cities with renewal energy, recycling, sustainability, and so forth. To make a long story short, I stained the deers with my remaining coffee, a forgotten red pin for the crystal, and the grey was from a wet papertowel to the mucky floor (yuck right?!)

Um yes guilty, those strips are just blk elctrical tape and white framing tape. This transformation/beautification was to cost me nothing--well 4 bucks for the expresso but that was just for a <i>jittery</i> inspiration. Bike was originally a Trek 1200 aluminum (amazing shape) from 1990 with purple and teal retro throwback decals or maybe that was just the 90s' for yah. The white paint has a frost-green hue to it which has great contrast to the white vinyl. I stretched an old American Apparel tanktop over the original seat and added a feather headtube frame art from my jewelry collection. I picked the bike up for 2 hundie booyah! I'm gonna ride the hell out of it.<br />
