SCRAP, the 50-year-old Bayview arts-and-everything store, is losing its lease

quote [ ?This is such a hard city to live in if you?re an artist,? said Lambright, a former artist himself. Pausing a minute, he remembered an old art professor who used to instruct his students to go to SCRAP for their materials, with just $10 in their pocket. His motto was, ?Just give them 10 bucks and send them to SCRAP,? he recalled, laughing. ]

Looks good, sad to see it go, high rents shitty everywhere, culture, donations, funding, etc.

Great accounts on the artist behind these comics. For a more wholesome contemporary experience, there's also a game.

Knitting Through Digital Decay

quote [ this jumper celebrates a variety of digital storage formats ? each one a small but important part of digital history. The design features a USB stick, a 5.25-inch floppy disk, a 3.5-inch floppy disk, and an optical disc. The inspiration for this one came from the Munro pattern by Susan Crawford, which itself is based on an old Shetland vest ]
