This made me laugh SO HARD. Thanks, internet, I needed that.

Book Lust: Sign Painters

Faythe Levine is at it again. I already have her awesome Handmade Nation book and now I can add her new release Sign Painters to my holiday wish list. I'm so envious of anyone who can paint like this. So. Cool.

Haute Crap by Aesthetic Apparatus

Aesthetic Apparatus now makes Haute Crap.

How much do I heart the idea behind this?! Such a great way to expand the reach of their business without really changing what they do. Genius.

Swearing Makes Me Smile

Some days you just aren't as jovial as you want to be. Today is one of those days for me. One side of my nose is runny, I haven't had any coffee (only tea, for said runny nose) and blinking seems to take an enormous amount of effort. Needless to say, I could've passed on the whole "work" thing today. But alas...

Luckily I came across this video. I've posted about the site and the poster in the past, but this is my favorite installment from these dudes thus far. The whole "Go for it." sentimentality really strikes a cord with me.

ps: don't you love his wallpaper "I work because I love this shit." ...that's the way it should be.

Subway Maps

By far my favorite part of London was the tube. Yes, I know there's all sorts of cultural shenanigans to observe, but coming from the midwest where public transportation is less than ideal, the tube seemed gloriously genius!

Anyway, on to the point- these gorgeous subway maps!!

Shark Week!

I haven't had cable in over a year (and not because I'm all above having 100 channels, trust me, if I could afford it, I would totally have all the channels available to man) but this graphic for Shark Week by Ty Mattson definitely caught my eye.

Ty has an amazing portfolio of work (and is one of the nicest guys to work with), so be sure to hop over and check his site out.


Update // I see Kelly over at Design Crush posted some of Ty's work today, too!

Forward

Went to see Michael Hart of Mono speak at the Walker Art Center tonight as part of the Insights series. The highlight for me was when he shared this Daily Show clip. Evidently Mono re-branded MSNBC and then all of the other news stations re-branded too... well, maybe not so much re-branded, but stole MSNBC's new brand... just watch and see.
