#xl1

I picked albums that (1- I absolutely love) and that have pretty significant visual aesthetics, for example using inspiration from Pete Shelley’s ‘Telephone Operator’ music video for the phone+ skirt which is the same as Pete’s shirt— the various geometric suits split Enz wore in their True Colours era and a Robot for the Man Machine because well obviously… they’re robots ;)

The Volkswagen XL1 is one of the most fuel efficient production cars Volkswagen ever built. Under the European test cycle, it claimed about 0.9 L per 100 km, around 261 mpg US, and Volkswagen made it as a tiny limited run, about 250 cars in total, with about 200 offered to customers.

Didn't know what dreams were for

VW XL1

Ed bácsi bemutatja az 5 éves, 100.000 fontos VW XL1-ét, amiből 200 db volt kapható (további 50-et a gyár megtartott). Kedves fickó, a kocsi igazi daily driver (közel 8000 mérföldet tett bele). Ránéztem mobilén van egy eladó 100.000 juróért! Jó kis járgány lehetett volna ha a tömegeknek is elérhető.

Busy admin sort of day today. Perversely, the actual creating has to take a breather sometimes so that I can keep doing it. It’s a hard thing to accept when you’ve got an almost sick obsession with maximizing every minute of everyday, but it is what it is. ANYWAY it’s technically tomorrow now but here’s a Flashback Friday to this little Pete Shelley in the journal from last February. Pete and many of my other journal buddies are all printed up and will be available in the shop soon. In the meantime you can catch them (and me) at the Downriver Indie Art Fair in just two weeks. ⌛
