The Adventures of Matt Gondek, Freelance Artist VI

So yesterday I wrote about my encounter w/ the old dude in the leather cod-piece.
Today, I’ll tell you about something even worse.
As I was mentioning, I went to Mount Pleseant over the weekend to help w/ my GF’s yard sale. At one point in the day, her mom asked me to help her in the garage. When I walked in, I seen a comic book laying on a work bench. It was the Incredible Hulk, issue 181.
If many of you dorks like me out there know, this comic is the first appearence of Wolverine. It’s a classic. It’s old. It’s worth allot of money. About $1,000 to be precise.
There was a major problem though. Someone wrote, in ink, on the cover “Mom don’t throw in trash”. Also, someone cut out a coupon inside the book. Worthless. A classic comic ruined. For you non-nerds out there, this is the equivalent of a hot girl flashing her boobs at a party while you’re in the other room.
The irony in all of this is that her brother must of wrote this when he was younger and asked her not to throw it away because it would be valuable. But by leaving the note on the cover, he basically threw it away himself.

How to make infinity friends on myspace
Published by April 17th, 2008 in Career, culture, zombies, marketing, Advertising, technology and computers. 7 CommentsRecently my roommmmmate allerted me about a whole online community of websites that allow you to cheat the system and aquire allot of myspace friends quickly.
Basically you go to one of these sites, punch in your myspace account ID to “log in”…. Then, you can send mass friend requests to a list of everyone else who is using the site at the same time. Each request you send earns you “points” which puts your account higher up the list. Thus, other people using the site will see you on this list and friend request you back.
Also, you can spend alittle cash to become a “VIP”. A VIP is always at the top of the list. In addition to this, other people are enticed to add you because you are worth more points. Sneaky sneaky.
At first I was pretty gosh-darned excited about this. I make a majority of my income off myspace and thought that this was a way to increase that ammout like whoa. Then I started thinking about what I was doing.
The people on this site are just trying to boost their number of friends. They’re going to add you and probably never even look at your account. If no one looks at your account, then no one is going to buy any artwork, or order a T Shirt. Sure, it looks great to potential clients to see you have a giant ammount of friends, but in the long run, all these people would have never even visited your account. They’re like “junk friends”.
My roommate brought up a valid argument however. If you have 30,000 myspace friends and you send out a bulliten, at least 100 of those people will look at it. If you’re using these bullitens to allert them of a new product you have, maybe one or two of them will buy it.
I’m still pretty torn on this matter. I don’t know if I want to devote the time to adding tons and tons of “junk friends” just to boost my numbers.
What do you think about this ?? Comments are appreciated.

Dear Fat Girl Standing beside me at the Day to Remember show.
Hello there. It’s been awhile hasn’t it? It was very nice standing beside you at the show a few weeks ago. Thank you so much for singing every effing word of every damn song as loud as you could and off key. I am sitting here torn miss… you see, I can’t decide which I enjoyed more. You’re miserable attempt of trying to sing the screaming parts in between bites of your cheddar cheese pretzel, or your giant flabby sweat soaked arm pressing against my side. It shows real character to keep singing, even though every single person near us was glaring at you.
I don’t know what I’d do without people like you at shows. I mean, sure I went to see the band perform, but hearing you instead was totally better. I have been contimplating fronting the money for alittle studio time for you. That way I could get you in there to sing overtop the vocals so I could enjoy it again and again. If only there was a way to make the disc smell like cheddar cheese and cigarettes. Do you have any suggestions?
In closing, it was my pleasure to spend 40 minutes standing beside you. I hope I can meet you again sometime so that you can ruin another experience for me.
Love,
Matthew Ryan Gondek
Free punk show at bowling alley is a real “slam dunk”
Published by April 3rd, 2008 in Fun, culture, zombies, Rock, Punk, mexican, weekend and entertainment. 3 Comments
Two weeks ago when my band, Doughnuts in November, robbed a laundymat to help fund a bus trip to Vermont to see the 5th annual beard and moustache competition we never thought we would get caught.
Having pockets full of all those heavy quarters proved to be a bad idea as the police nabbed us only fifteen feet out of the door. Nothing says embarrising like having your pants fall down in front of a gang of old women and your hands cuffed behind your back.
Due to a loophole in the system however, we managed to get off with only 45 minutes of community service. We will all be serving our musical sentence tomorrow night, Friday the 4th at the Shefield Bowling Alley in Aliquippa PA. My band will preforming around 10:00PM in the eastern time zone. Come out and see 5 grown men in masks singing songs about fat girls and dinosaurs.
Nude Codes for Super Mario Brothers 2
Published by March 6th, 2008 in Art, culture, Design and Apparel. 2 CommentsIt’s always nice to see a project come together and even better when you get the final product.
I’m talking about the new limited edition shirt that was just released from chestlaser.com. You may recal me asking on this blog or on myspace about your opinions for the colorway. The majority of you picked the orange and white on black design.
So, without further ado, here’s the tee with my design.
The shirt, Hippies Love Pop Rocks is available on chestlaser.com and comes with free goodies like a mini comic that I have provided them. They’re limited edition though, so pick one up quick or you’ll miss it!

Blade Runner: The Final Cut is coming to the Harris Theatre downtown the weekend of March 7th thru the 13th. I will be there to experience the glory of one of the best sci-fi films ever. Granted I bought the limited edition suitcase with the final cut of Blade Runner inside.. but seeing it on the big screen is a must. Be there or be square nerds.
Advertise ON THE STREETS SON
Published by February 20th, 2008 in Art, culture, marketing, Advertising, Design, Artist, books and Clothing. 2 Comments
I am wrapping up a project where I will be distributing at least 500 5 page comics for free. These will be given out at my art shows, stores in downtown Pittsburgh, or anywhere I can drop a couple off.I am looking for Clothing Companies, Bands, Blogs, or anyone else that needs promotion to help fund this project.What you will get in return is this:
On the last page of the mini comic (page 5), there will be half a page where I will have a “brought to you by” section. This is where your website address, myspace, or whatever would be listed, as well as a logo if you have one.
I am prepared to pay for 500 of these comics to be made out of my pocket. However, any additional money I recieve will be put into making MORE than the 500 comics.
I am asking for $5.25 per add. This money can be sent through paypal only, as I plan on getting these things made this weekend. The extra quarter is to cover paypal’s stupid fees.
For $5.25 your getting your advertisement on my 500 comics, PLUS the extra comics that your $5 is paying for.
If your interested, please send me comment on here or email me at gondek@mattgondek.com. My paypal account is “gondek@mattgondek.com” Please respond by Friday night, as I’ll be getting these printed on Saturday the 23rd.
As of writing this, I still have 4 spaces available.
keep on truckin’

Magmo The Destroyer
Published by February 19th, 2008 in Art, culture, street art, Design and Artist. 0 Comments
Magmo is here to help. Magmo is here to destroy. Destroy pollution, greed, poor healthcare, trans-fats. Pretty much anything that destroys us. He’s an artist w/ a message in his work, which is apparent on his website http://www.magmothedestroyer.org/. Even if you could care less about the environment, I guarentee that you’ve never seen anything like his work. It’s truly unique.
He had a show here in Pittsburgh last summer, so hop in your time machine, and check that out too!
