Communist Commuting...

From the refined to the bizarre, Soviet designers appear to have been given free reign when it came to bus-stop architecture.  See more of photographer Christopher Herwig's documentation of these communist creations here, or on his website.

Tighten Your Belts...

Time for a tune-up? Here are a few vintage V-belt graphics for those do it yourself-ers out there.

Blast Off...

Chrome-osome...

Here's a recently discovered site dedicated to salvaged metal type and logos from the days when chrome was king. Take a look.

Bent Metal...

For a number of reasons- including the"Hard Workin' Bob" tag, this parked car caught my eye at my sister-in-law's wedding reception this weekend (congrats Tava and Ted). I love the combination of bent steel, graffiti, stickers, and the blue and red paint pattern. In a way the car kind of looks like someone's low budget take on a BMW art car.

Anyway, it had California plates (taped inside the rear window) so maybe, if it makes it back, one day it'll end up in one of these incredible David Buckingham scrap metal sculptures.

Finished up a few jobs this past week, above is a piece I did for the New York Times. The story was by a dad who was sending his 'socially inclined' twin sons (who'd never been apart before) off to 2 different colleges.
