BASSACKWARD

Bass's stream of ponchiness.


Design, Steampunk, Graphics, Typography, Photography, Paintings, Interiors, Architecture, Music, Motorcycles, Cars, fashion, and places, all that inspire me.

This is not a sensible space nor really trying to be, instead its the continuous, extreme and ridiculous contradictions of my mind.

rants against hypocritical "greenness", rants for ultra-liberal resurrections of a new NON socialist leftist libertarian, fetishist imagery of gas guzzling devices, modernist graphic design, and obsessive interiors.

A pattern lust affair!

Amos Two Bulls, Lakota Sioux, by Gertrude Käsebier, ca. 1900
I found these amazing portraits and images of Native Americans at the turn of the 19th century on Flickr from random Library of Congress streams.This is probably not universal, but all I feel when I see these is extreme sadness, and frustration that to this day, native cultures of the world are constantly under assault, by “civilization”…  What a different world it would be if humanity was not such a destructive force, and considered its actions. Bone Necklace, Oglala Sioux council chief, by Heyn Photo, 1899Three Horses by Edward S.
