The title of this post is pretty awesome because I AM currently obsessed with Ian Dingman (check out my interview with him, or some selections of his work), but this is a Currently Obsessed post BY Ian Dingman, a Stickers & Donuts first, because so far only Tricia & I have disclosed our current obsessions.

While making the image to go along with Ian Dingman’s obsessions, I signed up for the Social Music Revolution (that’s Last FM’s tagline). I haven’t quite mastered it yet, but so far it seems like a combination of Facebook, Pandora, & iTunes Genius. Moral: With a little practice, things other people are obsessed with, you can become obsessed with, too.

Anyway, you aren’t here to learn about me! Here are Ian’s obsessions, written from his very own fingertips:

  1. I’m definitely obsessed with last.fm and Facebook. For the longest time I tried to avoid social networking and to remain cryptic and enigmatic, but I eventually broke.
  2. I can’t work without listening to music, so I take in records in a large volume. I’ve been listening to a lot of OMD, Clientele, Clinic, and Underworld lately.
  3. Just finished Marjane Satrapi’s “Embroideries” and enjoyed it.
  4. I just got back from visiting Vancouver where they’re preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics, so I’ve been digging all the mascot art.
  5. Lastly, I guess anything orange and black has caught my eye lately… it is that month of the year.
