Hellllloooo
I'm Rusty Blazenhoff, Professional Free Spirit, creative mischief-maker, and your guide to the weird and wonderful.
Since 2013, I've been publishing Rusty's Electric Dreams, a Pop Cultish™ “inbox zine” (yes, I coined that term) that shows up in your inbox randomly and makes your day a little weirder and a lot better.
Not a newsletter. Not a blog. An inbox zine. A beacon for the ones who see the world a little differently. A way to find the Others: the positive deviants, the ones drawn to the unexpected. You don't have to be the weirdo to belong here. You just have to love the weirdo.
What’s inside?
— Cultural oddities and creative inspiration
— Delightful weirdness and unexpected connections
— Dispatches from (Big in Japan), my sub-Substack that looks at Japan’s cool, kawaii, and delightfully odd side
Rusty’s Electric Dreams has been called:
— “One of the most inspiring, weird and off-kilter collections of curated kitschy ephemera for the big-brained.”
— “The New Yorker for the weirdos.”
— One of CreativeMornings’ “most anticipated newsletters.”
Thousands of creative folks, from artists to deep internet explorers, read Rusty’s Electric Dreams. Come on in.
Oh, and btw:
“There is no such thing as a weird human being. It’s just that some people require more understanding than others.” ~Tom Robbins
