This lady, this lady named Lady Gaga, she is releasing a remix album. First she had a new-god-level selling debut album, then she made an EP, now there’s this sort of “greatest hits” remix album. Since there’ve been countless remixes of her work already before this studio-approved one, I had to take a tiny dig at it. And while I was at it, I saved the psd file for you so you could too. All of that’s below.

An epic story for a simple skateboard crash! Truly a strange sort of deal going on here in this box-o-shirt we were sent to review by LTD Tee! Inside a nondescript white plastic bag came a lovely cardboard box decorated with a hand-printed silkscreen in brown ink. The design uses both the illustration seen on the shirt inside as well as an epic tale of the artist/designer. Inside the box is a tiny stash of high-quality stickers as well as another bag, transparent with instructions, containing the shirt. The shirt itself is branded exclusively with the “LTD Tee” logo, printed inside the shirt above, again, the story of the artist Porous Walker.

With each new age, especially ones that come with technological or social changes, aka all of them, there comes some artwork that defines the age. Not so much defines the age as epitomizes the craft. Here it is. The computer age spewed pixels, and in its horrible terror of colors in perfect squares made a thing that was unique. Still is. Here’s a set of illustrations as made by Alex Peverett, all out of pixels in such strange arrangements. All of them have fabulous titles too, like “CtadLSCrambl (2010)” (pictured above.)

I was writing a post for the greatest industrial design project posting site on the planet Yanko Design today and I happened upon an amazing quote. It’s the one you see above. It’s got LEGO in it. Sometimes things so simple as a recollection of someone else’s childhood ring such a true bell in you it brings a tear to your eye. That happened to me here. Not just about the building block toy, but about the knowing what’s fun and knowing what brings you joy as a kid remaining lit through to your adult life.

Thustly, I have made this LEGO post. It is full of LEGO.

Let’s talk. Let’s talk for a moment about blogging. About how it’s a bit of a faux pas to report on things that are in between a year and ancient. That is, how dare I write about something that happened 2 years ago, it’s not new and it’s not vintage! It is a blog crime. But hello! Let’s break this silly tradition. Let me do it right now, here’s something right around the borderline – here’s some colortastic photos taken by photographer / writer / fabulous dude Ryan Muir at The Flaming Lips headline ATP NY 2009, at Kutshers Country Club.

I hope you remember Mighty Max. The adrenaline pumped up equivalent of Polly Pocket. All you fun loving compact-hands holding and playing around people who were kids when it was 1992. That’s me! That might be you. So what’ve we got here? A bit of artwork. This is a set of hands that graced the fronts of the packages that held the Mighty Max blister packed playsets. A couple examples of those are included below, plus the rest of the whole set of hands. They’re creepy and they’re cooky.

When you go into a graphic design project, especially when that project is something so simple as a poster, just a poster, you’ve got to go wild. By wild I don’t mean crazy, I mean wild. I mean you’ve got to throw a boomerang, see how far it can go, then catch it. Catch this. This is a poster as put together and made by designers at Aesthetically Loyal (Anthony Kolber). It’s a poster for a thing called “Yes Diggity!”

Illustrator photographer Justina Bailey has a headful of amazing projects. but I had to choose one. Thustly, I chose the one most appropriate for the massively excellent wirings inside Bailey’s cranium. This is a font called “Brain Teaser” and it’s really quite squishy. Made as a display font with all sorts of letters and numbers in the western style.

Let me introduce you to the magical, mystical world of the Gopher Bargain Center. This is a place located on the South Side of my birth city, Saint Cloud Minnesota, USA. Gopher is a store where you can buy old food, lightly used or second furniture, bolts and screws, and yes, swords! Everything your heart might somehow in a strange alternate universe desire, that’s all here. The photos you see below and above were taken by yours truly, on location, live and in person. And, if you’ll peek below the sign you’ll see- in the snow.
