Prepping for Facebook's Timeline Switch
With limited photoshop skills and my stuck in the 90s clip art style, I’ve been prepping for Facebook’s Timeline Switch. I swore that I would create a spectacular cover photo for Brando’s FB page (yes, our dog has his own account since I’ve opted to deactivate my own). 30mins into the whole ordeal I realized that I had no idea what the heck I was doing. I guess all of the...

Lately I’ve been wondering, Are All Artists Egomaniacs?
I’ve been encountering people recently who are extremely self-involved and believe their art is so incredibly amazing. Some believe that their relatively small paintings should sell for thousands and thousands of dollars even when their talent is arguable and they are completely unknown in the art world.
Not that I care if...

Hello, Technology...My Old Friend
Being stuck in a vintage wormhole is definitely awesome - a true homage to our ancestors.
But let’s not get it twisted, beaming back to the present does have it’s perks…

Q & A Time, Yo! [The Weird]
——What was the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen on a pick?——
When I first started this whole thing there were a lot of things that stood out as possibly being “weird.” But, as you continue to do this type of work the weird manages to normalize and ends up becoming something that wouldn’t make you think twice otherwise. Ehhh…..
There is one...

Shop Small Biz
This is a lazy Sunday afternoon so I will try to make sense and not rant too much. I have just been so insanely obsessed with Etsy and anything handmade or vintage since the love of my life (Devon) started our shop and got me into pick’n. I have had issues with mass produced items and corporate greed long before I discovered Etsy, but the past few months it’s just all coming...

No More Vacations?!?!
Since we opened up our shop in October of last year, I, Devon, have been going none stop. Whether it be pick’n, promoting, taking pictures, creating listings and networking, I was on-the-go constantly (no exaggeration). Without a doubt, I enjoy what I do and would definitely rather work 80hrs a week for myself over working 40hrs a week for someone else.
It wasn’t until Christmas came...

Who We Are & What We Do
You’re probably wondering Who Is Brando?
Well, Brando is that stunning young gent in the above photo… the fuzzy one to be precise. Having a face reminiscent of a Tim Burton button-eyed character, this blind Lhasa is a superb cuddler and can find a pea-sized shred of chicken just as quick as Stevie Wonder can rock that f13 piano chord.
Blind and eyeless, Brando was abandoned in the ...

"Urban Pickers" by Major League Wins →
“We had a chance to meet up with Devon and Nicki, the masterminds behind Brando’s Funky Finds, to find out a little bit more about the inspiration behind their fab business. We like to refer to Devon and Nicki as urban pickers…”
