My (current) favorite pen.

3, Feb 2012

I’m a huge pen dork. Not for fountain pens (but I have tried to get into those) but for ball points. I have to write tickets all day at my job so I need a pen that can handle high volume and some rough treatment without wearing out my hand. I love the combo I’m [...]

Arkiv

9, Nov 2011

I’ve seen Arkiv’s work around online and I like it a lot. There is a strong KAWS flavor to it but it’s not a straight rip of the style. This is a sampling from his show preview here (it’s a .pdf). via: toys r evil, again.

Damn.

Just when I feel like I have hit my saturation point with Star Wars remixes, I see these: via: Toys Are Evil

Two cool toy ideas.

7, Nov 2011

I’m a fan of Jeff Lamm’s Greasebat toys and prints. They hit the right note of funny for this kind of Big Japanese Monster. I need to get in on them. And on the custom front, these skeletons designed by Scott Wilkowski are impressive as hell. The bone sculpts are pretty damn slick, and the [...]

Those custom Munnys?

25, Jul 2011

They were at SDCC, but I didn’t buy them. They were custom jobs and $300 for the pair. I saw them in person, though, and they were damn sweeet.

Confluence

11, Jul 2011

This hits a nice sweet spot on the Venn diagram of my interests: 80′s John Byrne comics and vinyl toys. Too bad these are one-off customs. I’m going to be in San Diego for ComiCon this year and I’d buy these guys in a second. [via Toys R Evil]

2011 Central Virginia MS 150

6, Jun 2011

Here is the ride summary I wrote to thank the folks who donated to support my ride this year. I have never written one of these. It turns out I am a damn rambly sombitch. The Saturday leg of the ride started at 7:30am from Rockett’s Landing in downtown Richmond. The route sent us out [...]

Velo News about RVA’s chance to host the Road Worlds

12, Apr 2011

“Is Richmond Ready for the Worlds?” does a nice job of laying out Richmond’s history of hosting cycling events with some great photos. I know from personal experience that Richmond has the sort of geography changes in a relatively small regional area to create several different and challenging courses. Local pro, and all-around cool guy, [...]

Mongrol. More 3A illness.

24, Feb 2011

I know, first-hand, that the quality and articulation of 3A toys is top-shelf and I have no doubt that Mongrol will be up to snuff. At $250 shipped, however, this is way out of my price range. It’s still cool to look at. This goes on sale Monday at bambalandstore.com.

Bike in a bulb.

17, Feb 2011

This is a nice pairing of things I like: bikes and light bulb art. (But now that I look, it seems I didn’t post about those Kaws lightbulbs. Man, I’m a slack blogger.) [via Prolly Is Not Probably ]
