In honor of design’s holy book, Communication Arts Magazine, putting forth its illustration annual, as well as in the spirit of this month’s theme, I submit for your approval: Mark Ryden’s The Gay 90’s Old Tyme Art Show, which begins tonight through June 5th at the Paul Kasmin Gallery. (Yes, tonight!! Opening reception and media leeches, […]
With a heavy heart, I, and the entire media world, report that the truffle of a magazine, Gourmet, The Magazine of Good Living and food porn, has succumbed to the tragic, yet predicted, fate of most big-budget print publications. Keeping with past and current market trends (the previous losses of Portfolio, Mogue and even popularity queen Domino), […]
The always-controversial and unfailingly entertaining MTV VMAs struck once again two nights ago, and in honor of my not having watched it (favoring Facebook Updates for the juice — which, coincidentally, is what this blog entry references), I’m posting a clever piece of PR known as MTV’s 2009 International Rebrand Reel.
“TV is changing and so is MTV“
“MTV is […]
Judging from some of the New York models, I have indeed determined that there may possibly be a positive correlation between terror and facial organization — *Cough* — or beauty, if you wish to call it that. There can also be a correlation, I have determined, between terror and visual beauty as it exists in design. Perhaps it was because I was mere hours […]
I have often times heard or read wonderful stories of travel to far-off Asian lands. Tragically, they were never my own. Also, tragically, those stories which concerned “Kari” in reference to “travel” also concerned “airplane fires,” “ten-thousand mosquito bites” and/or “Mary Kate Olsen.” Why could my tales never center around “massive food consumption at Ben […]
You may have noticed a few changes in our “Currently Playing” section of the blog, which has recently played host to several mash-up bands. What is a mash-up band, you say? Why, let me google that for you.
Why mash-up bands? Why not? For every lad and lass living in this modern jungle over-saturated with media, culture and […]
It’s that time again! I was at a very odd juncture in time, indeed, in which I found myself without much to talk about (at least that’s what my beef would say). Possible blog topics included boy wizards (July 15th!), the mating habits of the migratory skipe, and the difference between cormorants and diving ducks (does anyone know?). […]
As a designer, it’s important to have a cup tied to a line open to your inner child at all times. It’s important to remain emotional and therefore concerned, It’s important to remain curious and therefore aware, It’s important to see movies like Up!
Growing up, my favorite Sesame Street character was always the insatiable, yet grammatically incorrect, Elmo. […]
Most people who have been trying to escape hanging around me as of late have heard me endlessly lauding HBO’s “The Wire” loudly and with vim and vigor, pretty much unsolicited and everywhere I go. I was a little hesitant to get into it at first, citing my dislike for the assumed 1950s-cowboy-and-Indians-like feel of today’s police drama. […]
My mom always taught me not to talk to strangers, so I was naturally frightened by the idea of participating in anything as laissez-faire as eBay. Or maybe it was the fact that a seller once tried to “lose,” in the mail, the Coheed and Cambria tickets I just won by selling a kidney. But, dangit, the materialistic weasel […]
