obsessive consumption (sudan style)*

Photobucket

for the past five months, i've been wandering around sudan with a camo-green backpack. i look like an idiot. but a week ago, my life changed. see, i finally picked up a handmade leather satchel that i'd ordered a month or so earlier from a khartoum artist/ leather worker.

these days, i probably still look like an idiot, but it's not because of the bag.

*i was gonna post a real picture of the bag, but that seemed boring somehow. so i decided to draw it instead. the style, you might notice, was inspired by a portland-based blog, obsessive consumption, that i'm pretty , um, obsessed(?) with. if you want to see the actual satchel, click here.
