They were never friends

aaron cohen — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 02:26:18 +0000

I sent this picture to Chris, and he said, "Haha, they never were friends!" I thought that was as funny as the drawing.

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."

Is It Worth Your Time?

Ragbag decided to determine how much you'd need to be making in a year before it's not worth your time to pick up a coin. Pretty cool.

Stop Motion Paper Skateboard Cutouts

aaron cohen — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:31:07 +0000

Skateboard magazines from a long time ago (and now still?) had "x photo per second" sequences of skaters doing tricks. Tilles Singer took those, cut them out, and then brought the skaters to life in stop motion video. Love it.

Olly Moss Mad Men Poster

aaron cohen — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:37:04 +0000

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.

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.

I wanted to post this Olly Moss Alice in Wonderland poster here, but since images don't seem to work in RSS anymore and Flickr makes it hard, maybe just click over and check it out.

2009 Feltron Annual Report

aaron cohen — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:51:27 +0000

I can't remember if I said it last year, but I think one of my 3 FAVORITE things on the internet every year is the Feltron Annual. The 2009 edition has just been released. This year, Felton looked outward to compile his data and used reported interactions from people with whom he had a meaningful interaction. Lovely, as always, though the data was more interesting in years past.

The Picture of Everything

aaron cohen — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:58:15 +0000

The Picture of Everything is a gigantic drawing by Howard Hallis with an estimated completion date of sometime in 2010. It purports to contain every pop culture reference of the last 12 years and is inspired by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "Bluebeard". This is documentation...

If Muto, by Blu, isn't all over the web soon, I don't understand the internet. Called "An ambiguous animation painted on public walls" the graffiti is literally animated. Phenomenal. Yes. Yes. More. Yes.

Shepard Fairey’s Michael Jordan Print

aaron cohen — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:52:45 +0000

Not sure how I missed it, but Michael Jordan is getting inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame tomorrow. Not sure how I missed this either, but it seems Shepard Fairey has been commissioned by Upperdeck to make 3 prints, some of which will be signed by MJ. Not sure if any of the previous sentence is true, but what is true? The below poster is sick, and will, dare I say it, rival Jordan's rookie card for ebayjordanparaphernaliavalue. Yikes. Incidentally, and not completely unrelated, my brother and I each have an unrated Jordan rookie card. Neither of us know where they came from, though, as neither of us ever collected basketball cards.

Somerville Shepard Fairey Mural Defaced, Repaired

aaron cohen — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:11:25 +0000

I can't believe it took me 2 months to get to this, but I'm kind of glad it did because of the happy ending. At the beginning of April, Union Square's Grand came in to find their Shepard Fairey mural defaced and if you look at the pictures, not even in a creative way. Fairey had put up the mural and others like it all over Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, etc this winter in advance of his show at the ICA. While some of these murals, like the one on Grand, were officially approved, some were not, resulting in a legal storm with charges being added as quickly as they were dismissed. The police are so interested in adding additional charges, they recently came in to Grand to ask if the mural had been approved.
All this to say, that in the meantime, Fairey sent a local friend some replacement posters and the mural at Grand has been restored to it's original design. This makes me happy.
