Extra Seating...

Some extra seating for the Thanksgiving table... and for the last minute do-it-yourself project there's aways this.

Lost Bubbles...

Video of a 1936 modernistic soap ad by Karel Dodal and Irena Dodalova.

Plundering the Past...

Vintage art ( especially art deco and 50's modern)  has always been an inspiration for me. The book Modern Vintage Illustration which is being published next week by Anova Press focuses on contemporary illustrations with a 'retro edge'- including a few 'retro contemporary' works of mine. Two of those are posted above.

Tuned In...

Some of my older airbrush work. These were a series of  die-cut 'postcards' for a radio station in Charlotte, NC. There were also 2 posters that I did for them as part of this same anniversary celebration project.

Minimalist Man...

I recently discovered the minimalist paintings of Marcel Ceuppens and was drawn in by their mid-century modern aesthetic as well as their existential environments. See more of his digital paintings here.

Say Cheese...

An ingenious idea by Jason Hull, who repurposes vintage (but never rare) cameras into cool nightlights. See more here.  Via: Junk-Culture

Products with a Past...

Some classic industrial design from the 60's and 70's. More here.

Hot Wheels...

While maybe not as versatile or elegant as the Segway these imagined scooters at least would of come with cool windshields!

Pin Up Art...

Above are some images from an old Pin the Tail on the Donkey game I picked up years ago. Unfortunately the game inside, although never used, is falling to pieces due to the combination of age and cheap paper. One of my favorite parts of the packaging is the look, with raised eyebrow no less, that the donkey appears to be giving the shouting kid over on the left.

Ping and Pong...

I've always liked ping-pong. One of the reasons might be that semi-meditative state you can get from simply hitting the ball back and forth. Anyway, playing again at the beach this year was definitely one of the high points.
