The Butcher Kings at Gallery1988

When I was in LA, I got to visit Gallery 1988. If we'd gone a couple weeks later, we would have been able to see The Butcher Kings show.



Lots of good stuff in there, full of puns. My favorite might be Karate Kid N' Play. Check out the whole show.

I like this.



Same name, different face



Daniel Bejar is an artist with a project he calls Googlegänger. Daniel Bejar is also the name of a musician from Vancouver.

This is what Bejar did: He grew his hair into a frizzy mane, and he grew a beard, and then he set about re-creating some of the most widely circulated images of Bejar the musician, who has frizzy hair and a beard. Their faces aren’t identical—Bejar the artist has a more assertive brow and a narrower face—but the resemblance in the images is pretty close. He called his project “The Googlegänger,” and he put his work online. So far, at least two reviews of the new Destroyer album, “Kaputt,” have been accompanied by images of Bejar instead of Bejar.

Matt Stevens and the number 17

Matt Stevens interprets the number 17. "I chose to use a language all designers could understand and create a timeline of big events from all the years they've been in business."

Olly Moss Mad Men Poster

Olly Moss posting a Mad Men design? If you didn't know I'd post this, you don't know me very well. At all. That Don Draper quote at the bottom of the poster that's hard to read? "You know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is OK. You are OK."

You guys, the new season starts July 25th.

Chris’s Cats

In a bold ploy to generate page views, my friend Chris has done a personality study of his 3 cats.

Do you support this the type of internet tactic? I do.

Pink Houses

This picture from Scott's Photo of the Day site is pretty awesome. Reminds me of the John Cougar Mellencamp song, Pink House. Ain't that America?

I also like how big the sky is. Do yourself a favor and subscribe.

Sorry You’re Not Getting Waffles, It’s Your Own Fucking Fault



Chris and I were having a conversation last week and this came up, I forget about what. Waffles, I guess. This is sort of like getting my name up in lights, by the way.

Grammar Makes You Crazy

It really does.
