Old School Grocery Shopping

Living in suburbia, all the grocery stores are about the same; clean, uncluttered, and lacking in a whole lot of color. Which is why it was a literal treat to walk through this old United Supermarket in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It was not only small and crammed full of things (except the one item needed) but it's a visual overload with the checkered tiles!

Anamorphic Typography

I was always impressed with the cover art for The Blueprint 3 by Jay-Z and how the three dimensional art took on a flat two dimensional look thanks to some creative paint. Now I see an article on this at Typography Served and I'm once again just blown away. I'm rather impressed by the use of space and "print" to create a rather flat image with a lot of depth.

Get a Buzz

So many jokes, so little time.
I'll just let the vibrator's box speak for itself...

Compressed - The Movies

With a blog name like this one, it was only natural to do a little modified re-post after coming across a video by Kim Pimmel on the today and tomorrow blog. 

The following are videos using macro-photography, soap bubbles, and ferrous toner particles.

Skulls

Little yellow skulls lined up in rows.

What they are waiting for nobody knows.

The little yellow skulls, they all fell down.

Did they give you a smile, or just a mean frown?

Happy Buddha

Buddha is happy.

Buddha is laughing.

Buddha thinks that you should too.

Super Cars

Three super cars out at the valet stand where the exotics get parked. A Ferrari, Maserati, and a Smart Car. At least the Smart is a Brabus edition...

Ikea's Lights

Ikea always has interesting displays for their light bulbs. This time around it's four rows hung with incremental lengths as it gets closer to the wall. Personally, I think it could be a very cool effect for a bar somewhere. The wall of packaged bulbs behind it almost turns into a piece of art due to it's size and repetition.

Barrel Chairs

Straight out of the 1950's: a matching set of whiskey barrel chairs with harlequin patterned upholstery. There's only minor damage to the original upholstery; nothing a quick stitch couldn't fix. If only I had a man-cave in a basement...
