Moontree Letterpress has a great blog about the designs that they make. I love this card design of a guinea pig on a scooter. It’s fun to see silly designs printed in such an elegant way. It’s for sale on Etsy. Be sure to check out their more “serious” work on their blog as well; [...]
I saw this photo of a roll of tickets for a “Retarded Children Benefit Show” and I had to post it. Apparently is was taken through the window of an abandoned movie theater. It almost looks like a photoshop, but I forget that “retarded” used to be politically correct back in the day.

Although I’m not a huge Bjork fan, I really liked her new music video for “Wanderlust”. It’s a really strange (surprise, surprise) 3-d animation style. It creates a very surreal atmosphere. The video is pretty big, but it’s really good quality. I couldn’t help making a silly little animated gif of one of the scenes. [...]
Marc Johns makes simple, but interesting drawings at a really small scale (sometimes on Post-it notes). via Swissmiss
Yes, it’s a awesome as it sounds. Wait for Cyndi Lauper, it’s the climax of the video. via and I am not lying
