The Mang Blorg

Mang was found in a straw basket on the footsteps of an orphanage. No one knows who left him there or where he came from.

A sweet oldies jam from Chess Records. Mama Didn’t Lie was written by Curtis Mayfield and released in 1963. It got up to #8 R&B and #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Major Lance has a similar song “Mama Didn’t Know” which is also great.

A Mang modification I did on my NYU SCPS Summer 2010 catalog.

The Hasbeen Design “Post-Mark” art show opens Friday, February 12th. I submitted two postcards to the show:

1. “Hand” the ubiquitous computer icon. - Keep an eye out for Hand stickers in your ‘hood, I’ll be posting them up right quick.
2. “White geometric abstraction #1″. I’m really intrigued by the form, texture, light and overall aesthetic of this piece and will make more iterations.

Mang’s good chum Le Viz, aka Saint Heck, created this new track “Trace of You”. He’s looking for MCs to rap over it, so get in touch if you want to collaborate.
Note: There’s a audio stamp “Le Viz on the beat”, so it isn’t pirated so easy like.

Kidmang is spotted at Hooter’s restaurant in Times Square Manhattan. Hooters is a family restaurant after all.

Kidmang is really awful when it comes to academics. Ms. Wendell threatens to have a teacher parent conference- something Kidmang is terribly afraid of because it will reveal he has no parents and consequently may get him kicked out of school where his friends are.

Kyu Sakamoto’s Sukiyaki (Ue Wo Muite Arukou) is an oldies jam I grew up listening to on Portland’s oldies radio station. It turns out to be a really sad song, about a heart broken guy, who is all alone and remembers the happy autumn days of his past.

This is “Knight Dorish Mang” created by Leehwa, son of Sulperman. Knight Dorish Mang is Mang’s cousin. He has sweet hair and cool aristocratic clothing.

A female version of kidmang, kidmong. Like how her eyes are the inverse of kidmang’s.

Miang is a mang cat, and Mung is a mang dog. Looks like Rick dogg and kidmang have new friends.

Created for Vietnam Today. This animated gif will be used in powerpoint presentations to motivate workers. Go Mang!
