WEEKWRECKER WARNING: Our man in Boise, the esteemed Barton Kline, sends in a "Silver Screen" link that will not only wreck yer day, but maybe even yer week. That's why I'm posting it on a Monday. Just to mess with you a little bit.Basically, here's an archive of every goddamn movie poster, ever, and well, that's a whole bunch. And, scanned in nice and big, just the way they should be.Just to get things rolling, go to 1973. That's the year I was born. Then, if you are man enough, go to 2007, and prepare to be socked in the jaw. Quite a load to look at.Great, great, great, great and really great.(+) One for my gal Leigh.- - - -FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR A NEW AMERICA: And here's a creative way to get a big-ass Obama sign in yer window or wall or whatever. Heck yes. Get with it, America!OUR "ONE CENT" ON OL' PITBULL PALIN: Give me a fucking break. Yawn. Something stinks with you, Lady, and we all smell it.Hey America, don't fall for their tactics. Don't. Keep yer eye on the ball.- - - -MORE AND MORE ON THE WAY, TOO: So I'm not the best at "showing my work." Too busy making the stuff is the reason, I'm thinking. Or maybe I am just lazy, and a bad person. But I'm trying to change that, and if you go to the "Re:volve Apparel Project" link in my "Work" section you can see the t-shirt designs I made for them a couple years back. Real proud of the stuff. Positive stuff, and a step in the right direction for getting folks to get back on track in the "Peace Dept."Be sure to check back soon. Lots more on deck, folks.- - - -MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU: Los Logos 4 is out, and man, I am real excited. I've got some new logos in it, so you know, I'm feeling one part "beaming with pride" and another part "curious as hell" to see what they used and and even bigger part "excited as shit" to see the new pile of work from all the amazing logocrafters out there. Some impressive characters show up in that book, so you know, it's fun to bump elbows with 'em.Go buy one, read the thing, get inspired, find a logo in yer neighborhood that sucks, redesign it, get to know the owners, become friends, get invited to dinner, get all pickled on free drinks and then, at the right moment, pull out yer laptop and show them the new logo, and then, pass them a disc with the logo burned on to it and offer up a simple, slurred, "There, I just saved yer life." Something like that. Get to work.
