Ooh, girl!

Loved that sweet, sweet typography ever since I saw it over on friends of type.

More tomorrow, friends!

I'm Irish every day - how about you?

Oh, St. Patrick's day... a big occasion here at Michigan State. There's a LOT of green on campus today, and I'm sure the streets will be flowing with green vomit by night's end.

And since we could all use a reminder about what St. Patrick's day is really about (crackheads and ancient leprechaun flutes made from PVC pipe)...




First up, this hand-drawn type from friends of type has me cracking up and nodding my head in so much agreement:































Honest to goodness, if this were a t-shirt I'd be buying it up and wearing it in a heartbeat. Too funny.


I've been saving this for a while, but I guess I'll finally post it. I really dig Jamie Tao's art. Who knew a pen and some graphic paper could get you so far? Oh, and talent.

I just happened across the Etsy shop Seven Ply, where they offer designs from recycled skateboards! What an interesting idea. Look at all the interesting stuff.


Earrings!
















































Mustache necklace!



































Dino-necklace!




























And what great product photos, eh? If I happen across some extra cash, I'll be looking into making a purchase.


Well, that's all for now! Have a super-drunken St. Patrick's day, all!

I am not your rolling wheel, I am the highway

Friday posssstttt!!!

Come on, ya'll - I know I was so good this week with the posting, but let's get the readership out of the negatives, plz.

First up, this was just featured on design for mankind, but I am quite impressed with the work of Christina Vantzou. She does video editing, illustrations, print design, products design - the whole nine yards! This video is pretty cool:

How rad is this image? via nostalgie de la boue.



















Glitz and Gibson - can't get much better than that! Makes me want to pick up my guitar and rock out!

Also, LOOOVING this from friends of type:




















But I love everything from friends of type... so nothing new there.

Have a FANTASTIC weekend, people! I hope mine lives up to my pre-meditated expectations. And if it's not exciting, may it at least be productive!

If you really want to live, why not try and make yourself?

Sup?

LOV-ING THIS.













I really need to learn how to make GIFs like this. I'm surprised I don't know already. via friends of type.

This might be some of the coolest illustrated-animation I've ever seen. I totally dig the whimsical, sketchy feel of this video by Andres Salaff.

I am also all about this photographer/artist, Adrian Samson. SUPER impressive. Check out the commissioned pieces. via notcot.















That's all for today, y'all. Have a good one!

Oh wait, eye candy... how about some Ryan Reynolds. Did you know he's Canadian?


















Jeeeezzzz... how much do you have to work out to look like that? I approve.

Oh, darlin'!

So I found some cool crap to show you.

I do a lot of wishing.

Next up, I've seen this chick on the webz before. It's pretty mind-blowing, but I've never seen anyone cry at any of her performances... I realize there's some historical significance there, and she IS pretty gung-ho about throwing sand around, but whoa.

What is this madness? I live in a bowl carved in Swiss mountain? Yes. It's bizarre, but the interior is way baller.

That's it for today, folks. I think that was a pretty solid post. Now back to the grind of finals. Only a few more days left!

Hallo, spaceboy

There has been some rad stuff on the internets the past few days (they tend to stack up when you neglect to update your blog for a couple days...)

Anyway, get ready for some real cool shit.

First up, I just gotta post this because it blew my mindz. Erin of Design Crisis did a fantastic post today about rooms inspired by the mod artist Roy Lichtenstein. Click that big-ass link and feast with your eyes.



















Next up I am freaking LOVING this type treatment genius via Friends of Type. I think I first saw this yesterday and each time I brought it back up my heart palpitated a bit.














Now ya'll should check out this crazy technological-free-hand-sketch-created furniture, realized through rapid prototyping by Front design studio.



UM, WHAT?

That's it for now, ya'll. I'm ready for some R&R, and by that I mean tons of paper writing. YAY.

So you're back from outer space...

Fun weekend except for our horrific loss against Penn State.

Alrighty, some cool stuff coming up...



















check out this cool tent thing from Apartment Therapy. Not sure what you'd do with it, because you can't actually camp in it. Oh well. If it were exceptionally nice outside or we emptied out the living room, I could see myself using this for something silly.

Next, for those of us who are woefully limited financially, here's a way to save a few bucks on Thanksgiving dinner - straight off the dollar menu!



















via Wired, it's How to Serve Fast Food on Thanksgiving!

Love this silly type treatment via Friends of Type.













Really liking this, too.

























Also, this is just freakin' awesome. Video from Yeasayer - "Wait for the Summer."

Later, y'all!
