<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;">We want to kick off this Artist on Artist review with a warning: Although you will be equally entertained and amazed at our deft review of this amazing shop, there will be the usual tangents into the darker, stankier realms of junkies, goat cheese, cave aged dude cheese, and the female logging movement. Also remember to click the linked text as that's half the fun. You have hereby been warned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;">After “living in” Twisted Metal’s shop for a few days, it is hard to figure out where to start. First off we went off track with a deep trip in to the psychological </span><a href="http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/3328233/there-is-no-spoon-o.gif" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">90’s spoon bending</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: start;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">!</span> We would highly recommend you grab a <a href="http://s115.photobucket.com/user/Lung_Clam/media/Alice%20in%20Chains/sap.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">pair of combat boots, cut off shorts over long johns</span></a> and do the same. Even after not witnessing it with our own eyes and completely imaging in our own feeble brains, it still amazes us that Neva uses no tools, bending, shaping and coloring her flatware chimes with the power of her mind. Tho there may be a case for these not being hand made one would have to assume that mind made is some serious next level shit in the DIY movement. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For those interested, yet another amazing gift from the inter webs, a youtube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWi9Nau7oE" target="_blank">telekinkinesis tutorial video </a>if anyone would like to move their production to the hands-free realm. A word to the wise, we tried the telekinkinesis thing and ended up projecting this gif out of our eyeballs for approximately 3.6749 hours. Making out burgers is a serious weakness with us, along with mayo and knitter gals, thus we would not expect you to project the same image, but one from the deep recesses of your gross out mind. You're reading our blog so we know you've got a gross out mind, you stinking little stinker. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Now that we had put ourselves in a relaxed state, the sweet sound of delish spoon chimes was floating around our heavenly, hairy and well-inebriated man bodices. It was the siren calls of the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/178339537/one-fish-two-fish-look-at-this-blued?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">One fish two fish look at this blue fish chime</a> beckoning us to crash our skateboards on shores azurite and golden beauty. As dudes with a keen eye for the balance of beauty and form, we are well enamored with the color and luster in many of the fine chimes in the Twisted Metals shop. Check out of few of our faves and we're sure you'll agree, piss on tieing yourself to the mast or filling your ears with bees wax or any such nonsense. We say, go, go to the siren calls of Neva Starr and Twisted Metals, steer your ships wheel, skateboard, hummer or <a href="http://www.cars-show.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mobilityscootercaravan-smallestcaravan-01.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">mobility scooter</span></a> right to their beautiful, angular and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/roadrunner-usa/3-inches-of-blood-night" target="_blank">METAL </a>shores!</span><br />

<br />
Michael Wood first came to Portland Oregon (aka Mt. Bikeorgymustachehumper) in search of the exceptionally rare Tri-horned beaver snake, in hopes of spurring a business marketing Tri-horned beaver snake finger socks, an idea so unique its originality was only surpassed by its uselessness. To this day, not only has nary a single Tri-horned beaver snake been found, but, not a single human has ever even thought about adorning their fat digits with socks (tri-horned beaver snake or other) prior to putting on a glove. A near dorkade after throwing in his crunchy towel on the finger socks idea, Michael, at the end of his creative rope, tossed the last remaining finger sock prototype into the <a href="http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2011/11/02/deer_duck_caught.gif" target="_blank">Westmoreland park pond</a>. That would have been the end of the story, hold for the serendipitous moment that followed. A one-eyed and rather inebriated duck came listing by, bottle in wing, yelling "Hey, hey Willie, I found my wallet! <a href="http://rosamondpress.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/chosen55.jpg" target="_blank">Fucking Julie</a> said she fed it to the god damn <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16970138@N08/2790237740/in/photolist-5fyGtf-64umQJ" target="_blank">turdles</a>. I'm done with interspecies mating attempts, they just don't understand how we ducks roll! Curse the heavens, who were we supposed to pork with these <a href="http://gawker.com/5993385/i-cant-stop-staring-at-this-insane-duck-penis-gif" target="_blank">crazy long corkscrew penises</a> anyway?" "Well, Yummy D, other ducks I would guess, but that's just not enough for you is it?! Is it, is it, Yummy D?!" To Michael, most of this very dramatic duck exchange was superfluous, except for the the evolution of the finger sock to a wallet. The idea <a href="http://0.media.collegehumor.cvcdn.com/61/53/17af59b394edb2a2254f63d4d6c67b5c-error-produces-terrifying-image-of-dwight-from-the-office.gif" target="_blank">expanded in his mind instantly</a>, or, well, almost instantly. It went exactly like this, "finger sock, duck wallet, hmm, duck fat, yum, hmm, duck dinner, crap I am hungry, where's my wallet, shit, where did I put that thing, oh meaty duck fat, yum, man, I'm hungry, a big boy like me has go to eat, ducks, hmm, ducking christ where's my wallet, wallet, wallets, I'll make walnuts, er, eh, wallets, wallets that's it!" Smart and ethical thinker he his, he grabbed that well drunk, one-eyed duck (now swimming circles whilst crying from his one eye) and took him home to solidify an equitable business plan to monetize their shared idea. <br />

In the wake of his first bidness partner's early <a href="http://www.warwickpress.com/inner/personalartsm/duck_in_heaven.jpg" target="_blank">earthly departure</a>, Michael named his company <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tinymeat" target="_blank">Tinymeat</a>. In this way he honored the dear departed Yummy Duckofferson's pains in adapting to life with an overactive libido, surpassed only by his over the top, nuts, <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wang+dangler" target="_blank">wang dangler</a>. Thus in one fell swoop we have not only the birth of possibly the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tinymeat?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">hippest shop on Etsy</a> but one of the most <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gaZSnb_d08" target="_blank">honest</a> and entertaining and <a href="http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/3033575/Everyday" target="_blank">han-assed</a> (pronounced honest for the point of this joke) and original and <a href="http://i.kdcdn.com/e/b/y8tvRwB.jpg" target="_blank">honest</a> origin stories of all Etsy sellers. <br />
<br />
The cornerstone of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tinymeat" target="_blank">Tinymeat'</a>s <a href="http://vimeo.com/5936810" target="_blank">engorged booty quaking bubble butt rump shaking shop</a> are the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tinymeat?section_id=5002351" target="_blank">Billfold Art Wallets</a>. These bad boys bring the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCEp9CSpaiA" target="_blank">Stiles</a> to your cash stash, your meat seat, the junk in your trunk and the funk in your skunk, "Wait, what the crap does any of that mean?" It means these wallets are six times awesome and we've clearly been watching way too many <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jrdexjigaM" target="_blank">Rudy Ray Moore</a> movies. We at Mixed Species have a super soft spot for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/26671028/the-weekender?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Weekender</a> design, it brings together much of what we hold dear: vans, fams and parental funishment of children by Dad's asinine attempts to embody an <a href="http://lamodern.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/387.jpg" target="_blank">Ed Abby character's</a> life for the brief weekend hours. The one real issue we see with sporting one of these fine billfolds, there is about zero chance of a chick not asking you for the number of the dude that made such masterpiece when you pull it out pay the tab.<br />

Tinymeat features a full on Who's Who of grade kickAss guest artists Here's a way short shorts list of a few gems we found:<br />
<br />
Heading up the group, our fave ocular slayer, <a href="http://grasshutcorp.com/martin/gallery/" target="_blank">Martin Ontiveros</a>, bringing the Three Eyed Dagger of Doom.<br />

<br />
<br />
Another fine example of Tinymeat kicking the MS guys in our stinky sweet spot is what we refer to as the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/114352956/vantastic-no-1-zipper-pouch-bag?ref=shop_home_feat" target="_blank">Stabbin' Cabin Overnight Bag</a>, granted Michael has opted for more palatable title, Vantastic No. 1 pouch. As a side note, one of our pork partners and fellow Etsy baller, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BettyTurbo?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">Betty Turbo</a>, finds the word "pouch" oddly hideous and cringes every time it is said, so, go mess with her on that front if you have the chance, you can do that at the following places: <a href="http://bettyturbo.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a>, her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bettyturbo" target="_blank">Facebook</a> (contact us directly for her phone number). Back to the Stabbin' Cabin Pouch, If it was just a bit bigger we'd shitcan our plans to load it with roofies n' space crack and rock this dirty mother (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEaRCAcfOEQ" target="_blank">shut yo mouth!</a>) as reusable sandwich bag. It'd be perfect for the days I attempt to sneak into <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TacoTornado" target="_blank">Taco Tornado</a>'s school as a fellow student. Speaking of school, back to school, old school, new school, shit I didn't even go to school, go pick up at least eight of Tinymeat's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tinymeat?section_id=10461353" target="_blank">pencil and zipper cases</a> for your stinky demon spawn. If you don't, your child will absolutely join a gang, rob, start a cultish church and sell drugs to innocent chipmunks. Those little bastard chipmunks just can't say no, they are rumored to have a "nut in, nut out" policy, which is not only exceptionally painful, but, let's face it, simply not much help to their stated plan of growing legions of chipmunk armies to control the world's park system.<br />
What does this have to with Michael of Tinymeat? Nothing, dumbass, he's a duck man!<br />
<br />

<br />
The quality of Tinymeat's vinyl products are second to none. We attribute this not only to his clearly conceptualized and super well executed product but to his unique and downright amazing approach to their creation. Hold on to your shorts dear readers, this is gonna <a href="http://www.nbmg.unr.edu/slides/geothermal/8.jpg" target="_blank">blow the piss</a> right out of your <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6M75DVJO7M" target="_blank">ear balls</a>.<br />
A true Portlander, Tinymeat, starts the production part of his day around four in the afternoon by <a href="http://justabackpackandarollie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Expose-Yourself-to-Art-Posters.jpg" target="_blank">exposing himself to mass quantities of art</a> and interesting imagery in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Clark" target="_blank">Bud Clark</a> fashion, hairy and naked. <br />
After topping off his tank with <a href="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6150/5961874222_76bda166f3.jpg" target="_blank">mental stimuli</a>, Michael, a firm believer in "reduce, refuse, reuse" spends the rest of the evening consuming copious amounts of empty, <a href="http://dansvillefitnessclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ipeeing_on_jellyfish_sting_01.jpg" target="_blank">sterilized</a> milk jugs. When the morning <a href="http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Portland-and-Mt--Hood-portland-696661_550_427.jpg" target="_blank">lights just crests Mt. Hood</a> you will find Michael, naked, in his back yard vomiting what can only be described as half chewed dog rawhide into the large black tank, Michael refers to as "<a href="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120321224735/memoryalpha/en/images/2/21/Spock's_resting_place.jpg" target="_blank">Genesis</a>". Michael then tosses in spools of thread made from his own hair, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKhdz5m7KiY" target="_blank">dances</a> around Genesis, and chants something <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkUrio6VqzE" target="_blank">indecipherable</a> for a few hours. After this scene, which one can only describe as hotter than Joan of Ark's last moments on earth, he reaches in and pulls out not only fully finished products but a usb drive with perfect photos and solid quippy descriptions for his Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
How the fargin hell did even this level of a craftyass muthersquirter come up with something so insane? No ICP nardlickers, it was not <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-agl0pOQfs" target="_blank">miracles</a>, while we've got your short spanned ICP attention, magnets are not miracles and most people in this world, hold for you, know how they work. That said we have no idea how Michael pulls this magic off, but the below image leaked to us from world renowned crafting double agent, Deep Scrot, shows Michael being lovingly fed a corndog from an all too familiar crafty master.<br />

Tinymeat sports a fan base more dedicated than Anthony Wiener's wife, who unwittingly also became a dedicated fan after confusing Michael's shop name with her less-than-better half's screen name.<br />

<a href="http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/files/2010/07/chelsea-clinton-child4.jpg" target="_blank">Chelsea Clinton</a> says of Tinymeat, "Call it a revolt to my parental authority, but I love Tinymeat"</div>
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Katz" target="_blank">Vera Katz</a> eloquently said of Michael, "Floating like beacon of hope among a sea of mustache growers and mustache lickers doing neon towel dances to monolithic mini statues of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans sits a true original muthalicka named Michael Wood aka Tinymeat. God, what has happened to my dear city? Nevertheless, what I would give to mount that mammoth stallion!"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/94/233227406_8dec8fd948_z.jpg" target="_blank">Herve Villechaize</a> aka Tattoo, of Fantasy Island says of Tinymeat "It's a brand I feel exceptionally comfortable with. Had it been around during my life I would have happily stumped for Tinymeat as I do in the post life."<br />
<br />
Last and least we the Mixed Species guys give Michael and Tinymeat all twelve of our magical stinky thumbs up. Seriously we love this guy, I may go so far as to say I'd eat the balls of a charging rhino just to see him smile. I mean look at that picture of him with duck, how can you not cry your stinking little face off looking at the cutegasm in that picture?<br />
This dude is gold! Give him your money, kids, blood, flowers, whatever, give it now.<br />
<br />
<i>Hey kids, this is Face McSpecies stepping in here at the end of this review for a little "Outro". I have spent the last few years correcting Hairy McSpecies' grammar, aggro-hippy-punk douche slang and removing entire paragraphs at a time that would of had him immediately jailed for his own protection. It is now time to let our little hairy ballerina of words spread his wings and soar. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed his penchant for mass confusion and run on sentences. Do not worry, I will wade in arm and arm with him on the next few reviews. It's just fun every now and then to sit back and watch an artist be an artist! And as for Tinymeat. We watched this guy blow by us years ago. Now we will have to be content trying to catch air off his wake on the shitty little knee-board we call Mixed Species. </i><br />

We're so excited, we just can't hide, blah blah blah, dump a bunch of water on us while we're wearing leggings and being all sexy in chair. Then crack us up side the head with a cudgel for not only thinking such an asinine thing but waisting the energy writing it. Now make that bucket of water a bucket of virgin goats blood and we're back in business!<br />
<br />
The final third of the Martin Ontiveros Primary collection came in yesterday and will hit the presses early next week. The all new Bat-Phomet rounds out the yellow while <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127855669/thee-slayer-dragon-black-t-shirt" target="_blank">Three Slayer Dragon</a> holds down the red and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/157929976/martin-ontiveros-pentaclops-shirt" target="_blank">Pentaclops</a> brings it, in blue.<br />
<br />
Keep your psycho eyes ready for the Three Way Platinum Edition Martin Ontiveros Primary Classic Luxury Deluxe Gold Listing! Which is just an ass load of wasted words to promote buying all three shirts at the same time and getting a deal, which chances are you don't deserve because you either know us or buy crap from us and we are generally stinky terrible people. Thus, vicariously, chances are good, that you're also a stinky terrible person that doesn't deserve a deal. We'll be giving you one anyways because we're also stinky terrible people and we can empathize with being stinky and terrible. <br />

In bed one fine morning a few weeks back, June of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/isewcute?ref=top_trail" target="_blank">ISEWCUTE</a> turned to me and said "Hairy, dude, two things: first, stop, we're not all morning people! Second, do one of those <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/15572234/vintage-etsy-style-purchasable-positive" target="_blank">Purchasable Positive Reviews</a> for my shop. As in now and not ten years from now."A bit bewildered at the directness of this fine jewel of a bejeweled resin jewelry crafter lying between us had a solid point. The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/2441553910/" target="_blank">MS guys</a> rate of production over the last years has been just slightly less than balls plus three. I lifted my head to make eye contact with Face. His deep <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/5154811245/" target="_blank">handsome eyes</a> confirmed both of her points and his mouth was even more direct.<br />

Weaving together resin, mystical creatures and glitter like a spastic wizard drunk on <a href="http://www.phinnweb.org/links/cinema/directors/kubrick/pic/korova3.jpg" target="_blank">Korova</a> milk straight from the largest breast the <a href="http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/dan/trek/catullans.jpg" target="_blank">Catullan</a> king has to offer, ISEWCUTE literally brings the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/64229755/featured-in-j-14-magazine-catch-a?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">stars</a> to us.<br />
The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/isewcute?section_id=12944910" target="_blank">Cosmic Galaxy Jewelry</a>, collection is vast, spectacularly photoed and well, really really <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fargin" target="_blank">fargin</a> awesome. From the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/116859976/galaxy-ring-out-of-this-world-fashion?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Glitter Hubble Stardust</a> to the dreamy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/116614811/galaxy-star-ring-out-of-this-world?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Galaxy Star</a> Cute's work is deep, clear and polished to the point that it would be as close to a suicide attempt as a mirror in Medusa's house. Once in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdh_KhNApC4" target="_blank">blue moon</a> are we granted such a gift as to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LS0BklLtr4" target="_blank">spew our special variety of candor</a> all over the face of an artist such as this and those of her adoring public. Shit, we really should have put <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/153413609/once-in-a-blue-moon-full-moon-cosmic?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">this link</a> in that last sentence's <a href="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af135/Jimturner/hamfisted2.jpg" target="_blank">ham-fisted</a> product segue. Nevertheless if you're reading this or anything else on our blog you prolly know the type of asinine <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/7606277254/" target="_blank">shemanigans</a> and totally <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/3255427121/" target="_blank">bullshittery</a> one should expect to consume here and have either taken <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Biosafety_level_4_hazmat_suit.jpg/300px-Biosafety_level_4_hazmat_suit.jpg" target="_blank">appropriate</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YFC0O393DQ" target="_blank">precautions</a> or have built up some bit of an <a href="http://www.ruffstuffcg.com/storage/aboutme/BathingSuit.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1292456344894" target="_blank">immunity</a>. <br />

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/isewcute?ref=top_trail" target="_blank">ISEWCUTE</a>'s skill with resin is parallel to none through time and space! One need look no further than this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125145953/time-travelling-galaxy-ring-sci-fi?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Tardis piece</a>, of which was commissioned by none other than the <a href="http://stuffpoint.com/doctor-who-original/image/68265-doctor-who-original-doctor-who.jpg" target="_blank">Doctor </a>himself when they met on <a href="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100216140032/tardis/images/b/b7/The_Citadel.jpg" target="_blank">Gallifrey</a> whilst June was giving a lecture on resin casting. ISEWCUTE doesn't smell armpits or choose up sides, her stunning vivid colors and unfettered fashion sense bring out the good time nature in even the darkest most aggressive souls.<br />

Once the king of the Daleks, Davors found himself after adorning the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127862372/april-fools-day-strange-jewelry-big?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">crazy baby ring</a> from Cute. Now living happily in burbs with his partner of five years, Davors has turned into Sugar, a sweet homemaker, fellow crafter, and mother of exactly 6.75 semi humans.<br />
<br />
And let's not forget the Undertaker's first Esty seller inspired move the <i>Giant Resin Candy Corn Up My Butt Slam</i> (aka the GRCCUMBS). The Undertaker attributed his WWE belt holding champion status to not only the <i>Giant Resin Candy Corn Up My Butt Slam</i>, GRCCUMBS, but to ISEWCUTE's inspiration.<br />

But wait there's more! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/isewcute?section_id=5504016" target="_blank">Embroidery pattern</a>s for the hand embroiderer are a fab way to "accidentally" tattoo yourself while watching TV, hurt your annoying child or poke out your husbands eye, a point not lost on Cute in the slightest.<br />
The lumber jack plaid woodsman was our hands down fave. We've not been before seen such a keen depiction of the woodsman, showing his superiority to the trees as he drops his trousers, pulls out his dangler, pisses a pool, then jumps over his piss pool holding a chunk of one of the trees' fallen brother and smiles. It's like he's saying "I piss on you and I kill you, WTF you gonna do about it, yeah that's right sit there and make oxygen, just what I thought.....Pussy!".<br />

We once spent the part of an evening romancing Cute with our special form of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXk2obzgMKI" target="_blank">native dance</a>, <a href="http://www.roadfood.com/insider/photos/6263.jpg" target="_blank">quality food and drink </a> and of course <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/4762603366/" target="_blank">sexy imagery</a> in hopes of pulling the secrets of quality resin casting from her soft, luscious hands. All we were able to extract was that just before sleep Cute actually eats random bits of plastic, glitter and assorted images. Through the night some combination of stream conscience and human toy factory occurs in Cute's body while she sleeps. When the sun starts to rise Cute moves to her laying bed and extrudes perfectly polished resin castings already set in their rings or placed carefully on their chains. I know, we were as flabbergasted as anyone would be but before we had a chance to voice our plethora of questions, Cute, pointed to her butt saying "Muscles, bitches! Booty formed, booty polished, booty mounted!" With that she lifter her shirt and yelled "Spring break bitches!" and that was the last we saw of Cute. </div>

It’s been nothing short of a meteoric rise from our beginnings as a
ragtag group of trailer park kids to the international notoriety and fame that
comes from spawning creative masterpieces like Brief Jerky and You Park Like
Shit stickers. Lately, we’ve taken time to reflect and let the antibiotics do
their work. We realized it was our turn to give something back and were not
talking about that lube we borrowed. It’s time we applied our collective
deviance towards the good of the people, towards channeling a real voice for change,
towards a new political party that is truly representative of the rest of us.</div>

representation. Sensing an overwhelming need for change, Mixed Species (against
the Corporate Advisor’s better judgment) vows to create a hotter, wetter and
mayo-ier and most importantly achievable Amorican Dream. “The two party system
is uber douched, I'm also hungry” states Face McSpecies. Face and his running
mate Hairy McSpecies tout their ability to "Over promise and under deliver
to degree only dreamt of by past leaders of the free world".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Most recently we decided to get "serious" in 2010 and make some more Mixed Species cashish as we seem to spend it faster than we can make it. (insert Mixed Species Summit '09 link <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2788/4035735754_2545d96a25.jpg">here</a>) One of our business goals was to start making ourselves much more Blogasmic! So we headed down to blogger to create a Mixed Species Blog only to find out WE ALREADY HAVE ONE! OK, we promise to take better care of our blog and the one or two people who check to see if it's still on life support. Here's a quick list of blog topics and potential truth-hoods to happen this year in the Mixed Species compound:<br /><br />1.) New tee and poster designs out the "YayWho".<br />2.) New <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4352409899_3a91d7f519_o.jpg">collaborations</a> with some of our heros.<br />3.) Mixed Species guys to CURATE (that's right CURATE) first gallery show.<br /> - working title will be "Engorged National Pride"<br />4.) Plan yet another <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2478/3825737850_8304aa0cba.jpg">Mixed Species Summit</a>.<br />5.) Follow through on the "Donkey Show" photo shoot idea.<br />6.) Create more Mixed Species videos.<br />7.) Face McSpecies might actually <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2508/4187573657_a9de3b00e2.jpg">make something</a> besides another baby.<br />8.) Poppa McSpecies to open his <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3357/3255427121_74c2eaf585_o.jpg">Bea Arthur Museum</a>.<br />9.) We all salute Corporate McSpecies as he finally fell into a marriage!<br />10.) Begin writing Mixed Species book. "Doing the WRONG things the RIGHT way!"<br />11.) Oh shit, I almost forgot. Make MORE $$$!<br /><br />We love you all in the face and look forward to meeting a few folks this year as another goal is to hit the craft show circuit harder than last year.<br /><br />XoXo<br />Face McSpeciesMixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-62891921027466276442009-09-29T00:50:00.001-07:002009-09-29T01:00:57.629-07:00Mixed Species to Host Weekend Kegel Clinic!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3913956087_628f5c1bf8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3913956087_628f5c1bf8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">OK, maybe it's not always better to do what you want now and beg forgiveness later but we do apologize for our lack of blog updates. We have been cranking out a ton of new products and will show our blog some much needed pampering. Here's a little preview:<br /><br />1.) Mixed Species Guest Artist Series! Our guest artist collaborinos are going splendidly! We are getting ready to launch another new design.

Or maybe we'll get smart and figure out how to do the little twitter updatey bloggety thing.<br /><br />3.) Check out our growing customer appreciation photo section on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/">flickr</a>. You wouldn't believe what our customers send to us.<br /><br />That should be more than enough for now.

(creatively titled Sound Collector) We've set up a voicemail line for all of our Cult of Mixed Species minions to call in and let us know what's on their minds.<br /><br />Will we turn them into another Mixed Species one-hit-wonder ala <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glw5y1_ghOk&feature=channel_page">Moustache</a>, into a Mystery Science Theateresque weekly podcast or immortalize your words on refridgerator <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21669468">magnets</a> we don't know. Hell, there's a good chance one of us will get what every you say tattoo'd in a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/2850280922/">special</a> place.<br /><br />We've worked ever so intimately once again with our good friend Mike Fairchild aka Mike Fairchild to come up with three different logos for this project. Which one should we choose? Leave us some feedback love and we'll be eternally grateful!<br /><br />Have Fun!<br />-the Mixed Species guys-Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-35217704983766330902009-02-26T19:54:00.000-08:002009-02-26T19:59:05.020-08:00Things that make you go hmm<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SadkN4nSDJI/AAAAAAAAAT4/OpjTsciDfQQ/s1600-h/IMG_0466.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SadkN4nSDJI/AAAAAAAAAT4/OpjTsciDfQQ/s400/IMG_0466.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307320875577642130" /></a>I've been there and that is not at all how I would describe my experience.Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-55432152325299666522009-02-24T23:28:00.001-08:002009-02-26T20:34:10.407-08:00Random message phone<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaTzbSTheBI/AAAAAAAAATw/wrsH6i87V40/s1600-h/IMG_0406.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaTzbSTheBI/AAAAAAAAATw/wrsH6i87V40/s400/IMG_0406.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306633911045027858" /></a><br />1-541-752-0238 is our random message/sound collection line <div>Please call as many times as you like at what ever time you like and leave us what ever sound or message you like.</div><div>We'll change the recording often for your entertainment.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaTzSff_y3I/AAAAAAAAATo/UW5UpxmhVro/s1600-h/IMG_0410.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaTzSff_y3I/AAAAAAAAATo/UW5UpxmhVro/s400/IMG_0410.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306633759968185202" /></a></div>Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-18374128706641110122009-02-24T05:57:00.000-08:002009-02-24T14:27:18.998-08:00What what?!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaRqvLzocXI/AAAAAAAAATg/jd-ZYId53e8/s1600-h/turdles.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaRqvLzocXI/AAAAAAAAATg/jd-ZYId53e8/s400/turdles.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306483619805032818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaQBD7GNIRI/AAAAAAAAATU/CzQByYWacnI/s1600-h/2790237740_3c2b5a4ec4_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SaQBD7GNIRI/AAAAAAAAATU/CzQByYWacnI/s400/2790237740_3c2b5a4ec4_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306367427864240402" /></a><br />Last week Jessica of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/jessicalbarry.etsy.com">For The Birds (Etsy)</a> let us know that she had seen the above pic of Hairy on <a href="http://www.reddit.com/">Reddit</a>. Shortly after that it was picked up on a few other sites and as of now it has over 130,000 views! The notes people have written about this gem have just been the funniest thing you can imagine. On Digg I read about the wolf shirt people felt Hairy should don and that it should have a hole cut out over the breast nipple area to show his crusty tattoo. This pencil drawing soon to be featured on antiques road show was found on <a href="http://www.thing-a-day.com/">www.thing-a-day.com</a> and is the finest example of American folk art we've come across. On another note there was some debate as to whether the sign was real or not, we did not make it but found it in lovely Albany, Oregon. To us a sign like that is born from some genius we've not yet tapped into though we aspire to it heartily. This image and many other like it can be found on the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/">Mixed Species flickr page. </a><div><br /></div><div>Have Fun!</div><div>-the Mixed Species guys- </div>Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-3120428739573084802009-02-15T21:36:00.001-08:002009-02-15T21:38:42.999-08:00Mixed Species Brother from a different Mother!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SZj7fd5msdI/AAAAAAAAATM/AnmYkftuJCk/s1600-h/BuffaloPlane.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SZj7fd5msdI/AAAAAAAAATM/AnmYkftuJCk/s400/BuffaloPlane.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303265079249514962" border="0" /></a><br />As Face McSpecies seeds the Mixed Species garden of San Francisco he couldn't help but be "amazed" by the talent of one photographer.

In dissing Beady's home base Salem, Oregon we should not forget that it's also home to many a fine sanitarium including the one (soon to be torn down) featured in Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Hairy is now filming the remake playing the Nicholson role (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/3254973688/sizes/l/">click here for details</a>). Beady has long been tightly held in our hearts, buying random stuff from us and often including fun pictures with her feedback. Short of liquor, other inebriants or copious amounts of undeserved accolades funny pictures are a sure way to make our moufs foam and manties moist.<div><br /></div><div>Beady's shop is not only full of fine jewelry but leads one down a variable shopping tunnel of love. You'll walk away with a book in front of your snack pack or weak knees after sucking on sights like the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18049321">Rapture of Love</a> pendant or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10403084">Elle</a>, also known as "the bone maiden". The subtlety of romance in Beady's shop is sprinkled about like the flower pedals that encircle Poppa McSpecies round spinning bed (<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/mixedspecies/3255427121/sizes/m/">Poppa's sexy setup</a>). Take the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19891561">Little Locks of Love</a> earring set for instance, the beautifully ornate silver tone lock and key are adorned with a small heart each resting on a red glass disc. </div><div><br /></div><div>Beady is not a bashful gal and takes her admiration of nature on with the same crushing vengeance that she brings to world of love. Like a flaming harpy bearing her breast of malice to the dark force of the mass production overlord. She gores the dark lord with her deft staff and screams in gargles whilst drinking from his foul offings, we all kneel in awe of her unrelenting strongth. </div><div>Whoa whoa whoa! </div><div>Back to nature and animals and such. Beady's group of bird pendants really blew us away! We agreed that if <a href="http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc227/Usuard/morgana.jpg">Morgan</a>'s tree had birds like that of Beady's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19645292">Pretty Bird</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15579079">Wise Owl</a>, King Arthur would have hung himself up and fed his own eyeballs to those sharp looking avian pimps. Come on now an obscure reference to the movie Excalibur should be no surprise at this point in the paragraph. </div><div><br /></div><div>The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20406909">Luck Be A Lady Tonight necklace</a> also caught our eye in hopes to roll a custom Beady order for Luck Be A Cup Of Gravy tonight. We have a TON to learn from Beady! Check out the last shot in this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20558088">series</a>! Now that is how you deliver. </div><div><br /></div><div>As a side note in an otherwise completely coherent review the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19317873">Red Umbrella</a> in Beady's Umbrella series reminds us of this <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ktdh_kostars-red-umbrella_music">great Kostars song</a> of the same name. Also the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19965537">Aqua Mans Treasure</a> listing is beautiful but not at all what our drug addled minds had expected.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5125062">Beady Monkey</a> slays us on all levels and we gleefully give her five out of five freshly washed guaranteed thumbs up!</div><div><br /></div><div>As a reminder please click on all the colored text as we go to great lengths to provide quality links for your viewing pleasure.

I didn't think it would raise such a stink but I guess there's just not enough failed plastic surgery or expensive divorces to keep the pages full these days. I'm not porking her with any commitment, she nor I are pregnant and yes I did and do support the high waist jeans with double leopard belt. Her shirt is where I join in the fashion dissent, it should have had cascading waterfalls of glittery tassels and if I had my druthers it would have been pink to match the <a href="http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/fashion/uploaded_images/pink-furry-uggs-716625.JPG">uggs I picked up for her.</a> Of course she didn't sport em as they were a bit on the tight side. <div><br /></div><div>This jazz is hitting the stands and now there is blood in the water, already and I can see the shark fins jutting up like rockets over Gaza. With next weeks release of the Hairy N Geri (<a href="http://www.thedctraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/spice-girls-3.png">Halliwell aka Ginger Spice</a>) duet this should be a feeding frenzy. Just let me set the record straight I'm not cashing in my social capital on Hollywoods sweepings, I'm just rolling around with friends having a good time. Lets also just say at the out set no one has a deathly illness, is getting married or divorced, yes there is lots of sex and lots and lots of drugs and none of us are going to rehab or writing books about god or the straight life EVER. EVER!</div><div><br /></div><div>That said keep posted for the Hairy N Geri stuff that's to be out in the next week give or take. Tell all the tabloids that unless they give us what we want we're not buying their sloppy rags. Think I can speak for all when I say, we want some dirty pics of a Joan Biaz, Roy Orbison, Paula Abdul and Jonas Brothers orgy. Yes I mean Roy now, don't knock till you try it the meat is falling right off his bone.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have Fun!<br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Hairy McSpecies </span></div><div> <br /></div>Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-80310756069574022112009-01-30T09:36:00.000-08:002009-01-30T15:29:59.042-08:00It's just another day peeps<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SYNE_p61qzI/AAAAAAAAAR8/yFQ9kM5C75A/s1600-h/yahoofrontpage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SYNE_p61qzI/AAAAAAAAAR8/yFQ9kM5C75A/s400/yahoofrontpage.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297153447092923186" /></a><br />Some artists have the uncanny ability to ferret out truths from our cruel and ironic world with just a few simple words, <a href="http://www.shawnwolfe.com/">Shawn Wolfe</a> and <a href="http://www.vonnegut.com/">Kurt Vonnegut</a> (rip) come to mind.

A notion not at all lost on our Hairy McSpecies!</div><div><br /></div><div>Our first sign is one we've long adored. Located on the west side of I-5 just south of Salem, directly across from Enchanted Forest. We are late in the game grabbing a pic of this keeper as the mossy green beard of our dear pacific northwest has dulled the subtle nuances of redneck rattle can action. With the economic outlook as poor as it seems, this artisan should have ample interest in reiterating their lack of desire to sell this coveted property to the throngs of potential buyers. As a side note this trailer, fifth wheel, mobil weapons lab, feed trough, virginity disposal or what ever you want to call it is located just a few miles from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/Beadymonkey.etsy.com">BeadyMonkey</a>, the focus of our next purchasable positive review. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our second sign comes from a fine "barbar" shop in bottle tossing distance of the local Salvation Army. The real gem of this sign is not the inevitable vision of an elephant happily clipping away at the hair of some dude a la Rin Tin Tin but the realization that this simple sandwich board sign marks the funking Home Of The Fade. In lieu of this fadetastic signage we thought we'd include this rad youtube vid.</div><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OSrXh2o3j-I&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OSrXh2o3j-I&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891884098658866579.post-68733542389837494192009-01-04T20:14:00.000-08:002009-01-10T08:25:02.299-08:00New years nonsense.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SWGJrPEFSsI/AAAAAAAAARk/nXziPfHKrcM/s1600-h/IMG_0297.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SWGJrPEFSsI/AAAAAAAAARk/nXziPfHKrcM/s400/IMG_0297.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287658813380709058" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SWGJZkdDVeI/AAAAAAAAARc/b_p0UrM3EP0/s1600-h/IMG_0317.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WyrZRAfEDSw/SWGJZkdDVeI/AAAAAAAAARc/b_p0UrM3EP0/s400/IMG_0317.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287658509884937698" /></a><div>Above are two photos of my favorite shirt in the entire world! This gem was bestowed on me by a hip ink rep I met while in Seattle known as Spanky. Spanky was so cool in fact that he not only introduced my early twenties self to Mr. Bukowski but was also a infrequent guest on KCMU's (now KEXP) "Shake the shack" the finest of rockabilly shows one could hope to hear. Here a decade later I'm still sporting this fine tee though it's merely a ghost at this point. The second picture above was actually taken through this poor relic! Seeing that I'm only shy about a twelve pack before I beerbelly hulk out of the bad mother trucker, I've decided to break a long standing tradition in it's honor. Up until this year I've made an annual ritual of resolving to never resolve anything to myself, in this was I never disappoint myself as no one is more keenly aware of my lack of self discipline than myself. Hold that, my wife prolly knows better but I would be a close second. That said, I Hairy McSpecies will not stop wearing my Bukowski shirt till it falls off my body or my wife hides it in a feeble attempt to save some vestige of her near exasperated dignity (she does have to be seen with me from time to time).</div><div>Hope everyone had a fine New Year!</div><div>Have fun!</div><div>Hairy McSpecies </div><div> </div><div>PS</div><div>If you drink a mass amount of bloody mary's then puke in your hot tub at three in morning do not expect the filtration system be able to clean it. <br /><br /></div>Mixed Specieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256681184998634692noreply@blogger.com0
