there’s a religious thrift store in my town that i like to go to, but never seem to get there too often – it’s on the far side of the city, and it’s usually open when i’m working and on the days that i’m not, i usually forget.
but, since i’ve been on vacation for the past three weeks, i was able to go the other day.
i found an amazing antique picture frame for $5. i’ve been collecting picture frames for my upcoming solo gallery show and this one is perfect – i already know the photo i’m going to put in it.
i found a little table for my room. i’ve been sitting on the floor watching endless vhs tapes and burning candles and incense and reading tarot cards and studying various picture books and reference books.
but, i think most importantly, i found a stack of religious vhs tapes containing religious cartoons from the 1980s – some very memorable ones including the stories of st. patrick, ben-hur, and also our lady of fatima. i remember watching this type of thing as a kid. the cool part of this thrift store, is that any religious related items are free. there’s a big shelf at the front of the store that contains religious items.
i initially wanted to digitize the cartoons for my youtube channel but unfortunately, the fatima tape is copyrighted by some weird user and unable to be put onto youtube because of same. i edited some clips from it and composed a soundscape for my instagram and created a .gif or two for my blog and tumblr instead.
i’ve digitized old bible cartoons on my youtube before and they’re very nostalgic for people. i like running a youtube channel like that where it’s just random weird ass videos that people run across.
i’ll try to digitize the rest of the religious cartoons and see what happens there.
anyways bye, fuck off
