Quite possibly my favorite sketch ever. The way it sets the viewer up for a really unexpected, surreal and hilarious ending is plain genius.
I’m still trying to figure out how the hell they did it.
SUPER BOWL BRANDWATCH
Very nice interactive infographic showing the relationship between adspend and online buzziness of brand by compiling tweets. As of right now, Volkswagen has the ball.
It’s always a pleasant surprise to receive something in the mail that is not bills, solicitations or two for one burger coupons, AND is also nice to look at.
I got this House Industries photo-lettering catalog though snail mail yesterday, and for lack of more eloquent wording, it kicks ass and smells like newsprint (one of my favorite smells, next to old dusty books).
More info on what photo-lettering is (was), and now is again:
Terry Gilliam explains his cut-up collage process for his Monty Python animations. I always thought they were kind of creepy and sinister when I was younger. His stuff also reminds of Jan Svankmajer’s animation: it’s equally surreal, influential and highly underrated.
I built this ramshackle studio! Actually, I’m fairly proud of the way it came out. It’s slightly larger than a prison cell, but rest assured, I spend most of my time in here making shanks and doing pushups. Oh yeah, and every now and then I make a screen print in here as well.
MORE PICS!
The thrill of starting a new sketchbook! Usually takes me about a year to fill one out. I’m going to do my best and try to fill this one out in 6 months. The serif on the seven is a bit weird, isn’t it?
15 hour marathon screen-printing session this past weekend. 160 posters and 30ish art prints. Design by Ray Mendoza at www.magnet-studio.net.
New business cards!
Autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Mastery is an unreachable goal. There is no reaching mastery, you can only continue to inch your way towards it. Paradoxically, this is precisely what gives it purpose and makes any endeavor we truly enjoy and want to get better at worth our time and focus.
