This is killing me to death.
Via fimoculous.com, where Rex sees the internet before the rest of us.
For reference, here is RickRoll explained in a scientific way.
(turns out the kissing dude is part of an extensive Converse ad campaign oh well. still jarring as hell and I am probably still giggling about it)
I’m a fan of Alex T.’s work. I especially approve of his use of the Rhinoceros. I will overlook the poor spelling.
“Tuff Luv” is a screenprint limited to an edition of 50 and available for purchase here.
This is the first of a new feature called ‘What I’m Drinking”. I’m an equal opportunity consumer and I enjoy drinks across the whole spectrum of spirits. It’s beer intensive at Chez Flynn these days, what with the summertime sun and all, but I hope to remember to mention wines and booze we like as well. This might work out.
First up is Hitachino Nest Beer Japanese Classic Ale. This is a recent addition to our local beer shoppe and I’m glad for it. Tasty ale that’s fit for summertime drinking. 7% abv, so it packs a bit of a punch if you’re not paying attention.
I love that owl logo. Less love for the blindingly backlit photo. By the time I got around to uploading the photo all of the beer was gone so there were no do-overs. It will improve.
Have I mentioned what a fan of his I am? Dude can absolutely shred. Something about this kind of music doesn’t translate well for me when it’s done in the studio but I lurve watching these guys do it live.
Holy cow! I haven’t been bitten by the flashback bug this hard in a long time. I can’t even count how many of these things I looked at as a kid. The internet is a wonderful place. Please go to bobopoly.com to see many, many more of these.

Altru has a lot of the generic ‘weathered logo’ tees, but these vintage Olympic Logo tees are pretty sharp (if wildly over priced at $34). I especially like the 1964 Tokyo and the 1980 Moscow.
And this cycle group tee is cool, too.
On the other hand, i could go my whole life without seeing those ‘84 Los Angeles designs again. I hated them as a kid and I hate them today.
From the Alamo Drafthouse Director’s Series:
Not something I’d wear, but a clever re-use of the Scorpions logo font.
OMG Posters tipped me to this gem of a print, The Octophant:
Which in turn led me to P.X.Jones’ etsy store and this one:
Good prices and, like my buddy Chris said, “screwball printed ‘em, so you you know they are pro”.
This awesome story in the NYT about an architect who built a mystery into his renovation of an NYC apartment. It’s a longish read (and it’s a Kottke link so you’ve probably already read it) but it’s just too damn neat not to share.
THINGS are not as they seem in the 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue…They are living in a typical habitat for the sort of New Yorkers they appear to be: an enormous ’20s-era co-op with Central Park views…But some of that furniture and some of those walls conceal secrets — messages, games and treasures — that make up a Rube Goldberg maze of systems and contraptions conceived by a young architectural designer named Eric Clough, whose ideas about space and domestic living derive more from Buckminster Fuller than Peter Marino.
