Sometimes I think communicating this way would be much easier:

Joel Penkman: Paintings of Sweets (and some meat & cheese)

Yes, another painter that has taken a cue from Wayne Thiebaud and done a lovely job of it.

The Cosby Sweater Project

This site instantly put a smile on my face. I grew up thinking my father was the Eastern Euopean version of Bill Cosby. And the show overall had a way of making me feel the future would be good.

Xavier Barrade

Love his visualization of statistical data as installation art. See more from Xavier Barrade here.

Love this kid

Love her posture, love the energy.

Improveverywhere's "the-tourist-lane"

I could write several variations on this theme. One in particular would reference those people that walk in couples or groups and don't feel the need to make way for anyone coming in the opposite direction – as though the walkway is their own private one way street. For years I used to move out of their way – sometimes stepping off the sidewalk entirely and placing myself in the danger of oncoming traffic. Now, I just stand my ground and smash right into those stupid rude idiots!

Hot Dog!

"Designed by Bangkok based Subconscious: "TrueCoffee, the coffee shop that serves coffee and bakery with hi-speed Internet in cozy and modern atmosphere, expanded their food range to a quick bite like hot dog. They wanted hot dog packaging that would attract teenagers. We reinterpreted the word ‘hot dog’ and created a lovely dachshund character. Its unique characteristic was that it’s hot all the time."

Those shoes are mine betch

Oh, how could I forget this gem – a true classic.

His Dudeness

Just because it never fails to make me smile.

No sudden moves...

I agree with Jane Aldridge

Cute plea and given her visibility and projects with URBN and Gryphon, it might just work. It certainly never hurts to ask! via Sea of Shoes

YAY! Marty's Threadless shirt is finally up for sale!

 


My super talented and gorgeous sweetheart had his marvelous design selected by Threadless to be made into a wickedly cool T-shirt. Buy "Say Hello to My Little Friends" here!

Awww...

How cute is that? Although it might be safest to pick the cozy camping sweater to hand-stitch instead of the new Missoni or you might have a war on your hands. You can buy it here.

Bicycle Ticketed for Excessive Awesomeness

My brother sent me a link to an article about a woman who found that her bike had been ticketed because her: frame, lights, fenders, bell (which "rocks") is badass and unique." How cute is that?! The bike is almost identical to my Batavus except it's a vintage version and I can tell you that people yell at me as I'm riding past them often. The bike is a head-turner! Read the article here.
