Remember Mr T? He was (is, he’s not dead) awesome. I remember reading that for the A Team, it took 25 minutes to put on all his chains that they made him a kit with a single clasp in the back to save time. That’s just as random as this post….

Pretty great steampunk style here from HENRY WALTZ’s – VISUAL TEASER

This is amazing. Trollbäck + Company’s +loop app that “splits the screen into a grid of small video players that record and play back motion or still images.” +loop App

More awesomeness after the jump!

Oh hell no. Love snakes, super cool creatures. But see how these have diamond shaped heads? That means they’re not nice snakes. Pretty amazing collection of snake photos over this way.

Great font called Crescendo by Canadatype, featured in this post over on Quipsologies
More snake photos & fun after the jump!

The Business

Now that our cards have been on featured on For Print Only, I figure it’s time to get around to putting them here. A few months back, after realizing I had 14 business cards left with a tradeshow in a couple weeks. I worked with Tim at Quality Letterpress to create some pretty cool cards.

Check after the jump for more photos & a bit of a writeup on the cards

That’s what I thought when I saw this great piece which would make Rube Goldberg a happy man.

75 Abandoned Theaters

April 12, 2011  |  Check this out, Random  |  No Comments

Great gallery of 75 abandoned theaters across the good ol’ USA. Like the Abandoned Houses photo essay we posted a while back, it’s sad to see such glory rotting away. Makes you appreciate the work that went into restoring the old greats like LA’s Pantages Theater to their former glory.

Check out the photo essay here – 75 Abandoned Theaters from around the USA

A quickie for you all today, just got back in the shop after the SIA shredfest last week, complete with literal bone-chilling -20° temps in the mtns. In celebration of the mtns though, we found this jewel above after clicking a couple links which started over on Quipsologies. Pretty amazing collection of VHS tape box Horror Movie art – Monster Brains Awesome!

RIP Hubba Hideout

January 26, 2011  |  Random, Skateboarding  |  No Comments

Hubba Hideout, a piece of SF’s legendary skateboarding puzzle is done. Sure am glad the nefarious characters who congregate around in the area will be left alone now that there’s not skaters to scare them off. Read about it Here. Sad to know that another legendary skate spot is gone, kids can’t make a pilgrimage there to see how absurdly large the ledges their parks got the name “hubba” from are.

Cool graphic design oriented Venn Diagram by How Would You Like Your Graphic Design?. A 160pg PDF of Stefan Kanchev’s work on logo design from behind the Iron Curton on LogoBlink. In line with the random title page link from the other day is all the MGM movies title & end title stills collection. Up above is from Adios LA, Jon Jackson decided to try his luck in New York & didn’t want to string LA along, so he rented out 5 billboards to let the city know – Adios LA. Thanks to Quipsologies for most of these.
