Illustration Thursday:
6 Vintage Illustration Sets on Flickr
I ran out of time putting this together yesterday, so here’s this week’s Illustration Thursday: Vintage Illustrations, especially that from the 1950s-early 1970s, are some of my favorite things. The style, the use of line work, the color, printing process-it’s just all awesome. Anyways, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite vintage...
Co-Op Stamp : Belgium 1970
This is a great find from over at GrainEdit: a postage stamp promoting ‘international coopertaive alliance” from Belgium. Three cheers, this is awesome. I love the repetitive style and the orange used. And I’m pretty sure that typeface in the orange field is a straight rip-off of the ABC logo designed by Paul Rand in...
Monsters by Mail : The Supervillain
I haven’t been this jealous of someone in a long time. Here’s a video of Len Peralta illustrating the world’s more super of villains. I know this video is in double-time, but come on!

Skinny Ships, Things I Like
I’m going to have to agree with Richard Perez here, the man behind Skinny Ships, and say that these are Things I Like too. This great self-promo poster was a series of hand-screened 5 color posters and were for awhile sold over on Etsy. (I hope they will be again soon, Rich… hook me up!). ...

Must-stache
Must-Stache – watch more funny videos So things have been extra-super-to the Xtreme crazy recently at work and I’ve been dealing with some major fatigue-cold-can’t really-think-clearly sickness, thus the desert of non-posts that has become this blog. And for this, I apologize. But please, take this token of briefly funny mustache humor as a token...

Sound of Music Dance-a-long in Antwerp!
This is BY FAR one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time: A huge group of awesome people put together an Improv Everywhere type event at the Central Station in Antwerp (WHERE I’VE TOTALLY BEEN), dancing to “Do, a Deer.” THIS IS AWESOME! ALL CAPS AWESOME! And can I just say that...
