Plastic Menagerie
March 10th, 2006Something to look at: Plastic Fantasic flickr set pictures little plastic animals in gorgeously lit tableaus (via Bibi’s Box). I wish I was that good a photographer.
Has-Beens? Try Never-Wases.
March 8th, 2006Continuing today’s “found photo” theme, don’t miss this amazing gallery of publicity photos by the famed entertainment photographer James Kriegsmann (via PCL Linkdump). Jennifer Sharpe of Sharpeworld put this together and my hat’s off to her. While Kriegsmann beautifully photographed some of the most famous names in post-WWII entertainment, this gallery concentrates on unknowns from […]
Indiana Wants Me
March 8th, 2006When FOUND magazine co-founder Jason Bitner stumbled across several boxes of old studio photographs stored in the back of a small town diner, he discovered the found photo equivalent of a goldmine — some 18,000 formal portraits of the residents of LaPorte, Indiana dating from the ’40s to the late ’60s. Some of these images […]
Proof that Karma Works
March 6th, 2006The L.A. Times exposé on Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light (TM) is required reading. How deliciously gratifying it is to find that a loathesome, hypocritical man lies behind all those candy-ass paintings of lighthouses and country cottages. And now he’s being sued all over the place. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
Late to the Party
March 6th, 2006What to say on the Oscars, this late? Jon Stewart did a good job hosting, and I wasn’t too bummed that Crash won Best Picture. It was a fantastic movie, beautifully directed and acted despite its somewhat heavy-handed script. Other things to mention:
If they have to present all those interminable montages (although Stewart’s reaction was […]
New in the Store: Beaver with Stick
March 5th, 2006This ‘lil guy is the latest addition to The Scrubbles Store at CafePress. On a thong. Discuss.
Beavers, You’re Out. Auf Wiedersehen.
March 5th, 2006Just for fun I thought I’d share the beavers that didn’t make it for a specially designed thong in my Cafe Press store (which are not to be confused with character actress Louise Beavers).
Sketches one and two. The left one seems a little too easy and I don’t like his stick. Like the pose on […]
Things That Make You Go Wh-Wh-Wha?!?
March 4th, 2006flickr functions best when it shows me something I would have never fathomed being made. Like Wacky Packages fabric.
Trio of Thingies
March 2nd, 2006In the absence of anything long and boring today, I submit three little tidbits:
No awards season is complete without entering the Web-Goddess Oscar Contest to win a pair of rainbow hued “Brokeback (sock) Monkeys”. Kris rocks!
Terry just sent along a reminder that the annual pledge drive for WFMU is going on right now. Stop by, […]
