The Procrastinator Compendium Part 1: Mondo

As stated previously I am a huge procrastinator, this blog being somewhat in between procrastination and actual work, I find some enjoyment out of writing this drivel, life goes on. But that is the problem most of the time, life goes on I don't really move on, I have a major case of procrastination for life. I just can't be assed, do I like the how I am? yes, do I need to change? the answer again is yes. So let's start with the base of daily routine and what needs to change.

It seemed at one point in my life I was content with my financial, social and physical standing, but like anyone ever that's somewhat happy/content, life throws you a curveball, that curveball was 4 years ago and I don't think I've ever fully recovered. Financially I'm alright, the constant flow of cash is only rocked by the battle with eccentric "necessities" that I find are a sound investment for the generation of Bassas to come. My most recent and somewhat expensive "necessity" are posters...

Reservoir Dogs By Tyler Stout, In my opinion one of the best artists associated with Mondo

My current small readership might know of how much I blabber on about posters and I want this one and I need this one, this blabbering is now going to continue in my blog. It might sound strange, hell it's quite baffling how passionate I am about God damn posters, but believe me I am just the tip of the iceberg. Besides the generic, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube trolling I've moved onto hunting down posters and waiting an absurd amount of time for a poster I'm not guaranteed on acquiring. Like Blogging, poster hunting is in Limbo of whether it's actual work or just a waste of time. Most people think the latter.

They are mistaken...most the time

See you'll have to look in galleries rather than HMV, the thing with the posters that I look for and buy are extremely limited and extremely sought after, they combine the accessibility of a poster, hang it on your ceiling, easy to put on or take down, easily stored with the flair of actual "art". Again there is another element, being what Mondo (the group that releases the posters) base the posters on, that being movies. Combining posters that are well done with them being based on movies makes BIG BUCKS. But I don't do it for the money not always.

take for example, spiderman up here, or that great rack, wait...

For instance, the piece above was bought for £30 at a gallery in Leeds and I later sold it for £180 in the following 3 days, so there is a lot of potential in this collection. I love movies, so collecting them is a no brainer for me, if I make a quick buck that's just an extra incentive. I mean even if you don't sell the piece you've bought they'd look awesome on your wall, in the hallway or in the bathroom. 

If you do want to get in on collecting or want a poster, follow @MondoNews and/or @ollymoss; the artist who created the aptly named 'SpiderBoobs', he is also quite funny and that's never bad. 

I know it hasn't been the greatest or funniest or most philosophical blog today so here is a picture, an outtake of me taking a grungy picture that was interrupted by a sneeze of great magnitude. Enjoy
