There's some real kooky cool shit on here. Exhausted all my usual adjectives. http://www.mushroomnecklace.com/

Think I may have found my next tattoo

Kick Ass Type Porno

I have no idea what DVNO stands for but I never get tired of watching this. It reminds me of my childhood... spent in front of the T.V. instead of outside playing sports with the other dirty neighborhood kids. I grew up Mormon so most of what I learned about the "real world" came from watching television...and Penthouse Magazine. I always wished I could have had a train in my house like Ricky Schroeder. Spoiled little show off bitch.
Ferg this is that video I was telling you about that we unsuccessfully spent over an hour trying to get to play the other night.

More Beautiful Design and Custom Typography from NY

Typographic excellence by NY graphic designer/artist Jon Contino.  
This is most definitely type as an art form. You have got to check out the rest of Jon's work! The images on his site take a sec to load up. Be sure and keep scrolling all the way to the right.

One of my faves. I have to check out this Museum when I go to Seattle.

Ah, high school

WOW

Custom designed Zippos were always a cool reason to take up smoking.

SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THE INTERWEB

So I spent this past Friday night looking at kick ass graphic design and typography on the infernet and talking shop with a good friend/fellow designer. A lot of my upcoming posts will contain our findings. I will just be posting some examples of the artist's work and a link to their site. I am not going to analyze or critique the stuff because:

(A) I am bad at sounding smart and highfalutin (Like you already didn't figure that out).

(B) I rely too much on adjectives. (You will see words like AWESOME, SWEET, GORGEOUS, SWELL, AWE INSPIRING? and AMAZING used over and over through out my blog. Please help me expand my vocabulary

(C) The work I will be bloggin about is so AMAZINGLY GOOD that it is really obvious why, and....

(D) I am bad at sounding smart when talking about art and design. I just know what I like and what deserves serious accolades and admiration. (See points A and B)

First up is  Brooklyn designer/typographer Dan Cassaro.

Great Show at Common House this past Friday

Yup, we had another fun and successful art opening at Common House this past Friday. This was our first sort of "interactive" art show. We hung cameras from the ceiling and encouraged people to take photos of themselves against the art covered walls. Also started/had a huge drawing on one wall and invited visitors to add to it. The doodles of course became more obscene as the night progressed. HA! I was awesome to have all the walls almost entirely covered by art and what not.

Here's a shot the cover to the Common X Crummy Mega Zine collaboration we did for the show. Rich, Mason, and myself each illustrated a layer and the screen printed the cover with three colorful layers. The pages inside are also a fun collaboration of several artsy folks. Order yours today!
