Thrift Core: Instructions For Cutting the Bull and Living a Happy, Healthy, Creative Life

Thrift Core is a lifestyle blog that relishes in the innate creativity that comes with being a thrifty bastard. It's about exploring the intersection of art, frugality, and whole living, while documenting the life of a 20-something expat marketer, now full-time bohemian. Still trying to figure it all out, follow along and you can watch me f*ck up in slow motion! Just make sure you learn from it!

I'm a passionate, kitsch, horror genre, and anime loving lifelong thrifter. Raised in Naples, Italy and Jacksonville, Florida, I bring that colorful, eclectic old world backdrop into everything I create. I'm a self taught web and graphic designer with years of experience writing copy and marketing on the web for The Man, but I'm much happier here inspiring fellow creatives and thrifty souls to pursue their passions. My love of dinosaurs, robots, and cephalapods knows no bounds.

My Shops: I live to connect you with sexy, carefully selected art and vintage...

You can visit my Antique Mall booth (ask for booth #4504) at Southern Crossing Antique Mall (2718 Park St  Jacksonville, FL 32205, (904) 384-1757) or shop online. I'm working behind the scenes on an art, jewelry, and vintage ephemera line.
