The Tweets





I’m a sucker for old film posters. So much so, I'd love to bedazzle my pad with ’em. But lack of time, energy, attention span…

I also love mashups.

Just get a load of these Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds themed posters reflecting social media's impact on the Arab Spring.

Marcel Paris put these together for France’s Channel 24.

Hairmoticons


I spotted this advertisement for Braun’s Multistyler several weeks ago and thought it was delightful. And just when I was burned on everything emoticon.

Zapped



Way, way back in the day, my best friend Todd Irvine and I would break into his hippy-parent’s record collection and lay the needle down on a Frank Zappa collection of misfit music, Zapped. By far our favorite cut was Wild Man Fischer’s Merry Go Round, which, I've got here for you to listen to and share with the kids.

The Design Process




I fell upon this while exploring the Interwilds. I have no idea who to credit (if it’s you, let me know so that I may give credit where credit is due).

So often the process starts with step four and jumps immediately to step seven.

Sigh.

Nobody will ever convince me that doing more poorly is better than doing less well.

Print Cart

Just take a look at this fantastic print cart.

Back in the day I used to screen decks at a little indie Skateboard company, first in in Los Osos, then in San Luis Obispo, California. At Smallroom we built our own silkscreen print carts, drying racks and mini halfpipe to complete the scene.

Recently, I stumbled across a blog post from back in 2010 on Printeresting about a poster exhibition called Printervention. The show’s theme is around the styling and substance of the posters from the WPA and feature contemporary artist’s work that reflect current social and political grumblings.

The print cart was put together by Mike Slaterry and details of the cart and highlights from the show can be seen on their Flickr pool.

Hey Mike Slattery (whoever you are), wanna find a new home for your cart? Drop me a line.
