chocolate polaroid film/polaroid online store

polapremium is the new polaroid online store that sells new and used polaroid cameras (old and new models) as well as a variety of polaroid film, including the chocolate film.

For fuck's sake

how awesome is this guy?!!!!!!

I promise some time soon I'll get serious.

I don't understand what this is, but I want one.

and even lighter still

guess I'm back on the animated gif bandwagon.

feel the need to lighten it up a bit

man seriously all I post are disco youtube videos and stupid shit...

link

this made my day

o shit, more disco.

I have a feeling this might not stop anytime soon.
sorry, but not actually...

not music.

Saw this book online,
reminded me stylistically of your thesis book for some reason even though it is way diff.
love it anyway.

prepare yourself for some serious disco

so psyched about our plan! however, it is 6:30am here,
I need to go to sleep before I start making an awesome poster design for this puppy.





but still need to sneak blondie in somewhere...

this doesn't get old, ever

will someone please play this on loop at my funeral?

Bloc Party

And this one isn't even for the music,
it is for this bizzare fairy-tale claymation...

more music

man I hate to admit this,
but I don't hate some of the new tracks from lily allen.
yes.
lily allen.

honestly, what is it with the swedes?

new video from Peter Bjorn and John

man this song & video never gets old

Also, from my time here in london, I am completely convinced I should wear a fur coat and red lipstick as often as possible, this video is further confirmation.

person pitch

here is the link to the original/inspiration for panda bear's person pitch album cover.  orignally a national geographic photo of a group of people in a tub in iceland.

opening credits

i was watching "the seven year itch" last night and was pretty taken with the opening credits, pretty creative and interesting. was made around 1955.

kate spade, kate smade

this would have been horribly perfect to have bought before coming to london. everyone in my school and halls are basically each from a different country so people seem to learn where you are from before they learn your name (I guess the accent probably helps). So most people just refer to you as 'the swede' or 'the indian' or 'the american', in my case. But usually they remembered new york, so it's been 'oh yah, you're the girl from new york.' if only I had that scarf I could reply 'pshhhttt that's Miss New York to you, bitch!' nothing like reinforcing self-centered new yorker stereotypes! I think it could only be worn with a sense of humor, and never while actually in ny.

it could be kind of nice too, like you are missing new york, with a scarf to remind you of there

p.s. miss kate spade, how much is that scarf, it's not on the website

I feel like there are a million illustrators with styles similar to this,
but for whatever reason, Somefield's work still stands out for me.

Kaile, in terms of below NY nightlife slideshow,

I'm guessing you saw this and blew up.

LIFE

google is now hosting images from LIFE magazine, so that means thousands of LIFE photographs in hi-res form, like the above image of ballet students standing in the window of the School of American Ballet in 1936. if you add "source:life" to the end of your google image search it will search through the LIFE archive.

my favorite commercial

since "mr. barky von schnauzer," notice the manic tone in the mom's voice as she screams bloody hell. she totally ends up murdering toby in the director's cut of this piece of art.

dear cnn,

I think this should be played in the corner of every report on the economy from here on out. no, i think every report on the economy should narrate this clip on loop so people won't want to jump in front of traffic.

We should probably invest in one of these.

And get paid to sabotage mini-horse shows by letting our mini-horse run around ape-shit to ruin the other mini-horses' mini-dreams of winning mini-show-ribbons.

James Montalbano hit the big time.

New freeway signs in Northeast Ohio to be more readable

My parents just informed me that this made the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. (the main newspaper)



Sure, they could report about our city basically dying, having absolutely zero jobs, and rampant violence on the streets,
but no, in Cleveland, none of that matters, we focus on the positive.
Move over Lebron James, there is a new James in town,
and he has made the city streets more legible, and that is a beautiful thing.

note to anyone that reads this other than becky and I. James Montalbano was our digital lettering and typography design teacher at Parsons.

i want to be on this blog when i am an oldie olsen

OMG.

I have seen it a million times at stores, and the packaging is like way famous,
But I had never tried it before for some reason.

Go buy it.
now.
NOWWW!!!!!

OMFG.

I miss new york.

156. Drivers in brooklyn blasting t-pain at 3am
157. Said driver's bass setting off every car alarm they drive by
158. Random angry person smashing in three cars' windows on the street a floor below us
159. Genuine fear of being hacked by a machete

The list could go on for miles.
I really do miss it.

especially...

160. Being able to do anything you could possibly want to do at any possible time of day or night...

just to prepare you for my nerding-out

I bought a periodic table of elements mug last night.
It is sweet.
I cannot wait to use it with my periodic table of elements placemat back in ny.



This isn't actually it though^
Mine is way nicer colors and overall shape than this.
Because that matters. so. much.

I am totally gonna make you a mixed tape...

but in the the meantime I highly recommend:

tickley feather: from philadelphia, signed to panda bear's label, paw tracks, it's like charlotte gainsbourg mixed with black moth super rainbow and animal collective.

free kitten: kim gordon's side band, enough said.

for old time's sake

probably one of the cat videos that gave us the idea for this blog, wow we really needed to get out more.

This sounds like my mom when she's mad

except we would get the "WHO TOOK MY CAR KEEEEEEYS" version, fun memories.

genevieve gauckler

i forgot that one of my favorite illustrators, genevieve gauckler, has a blog, and a show, and vinyl toys inspired by said show.  this is the illustrator that made my brother ask me if i did a lot of acid when he saw her stuff as the background on my computer a few years ago. i wonder the same about him ever since i saw an issue of "american rifleman" (the NRA's magazine) floating around my house this past summer.

DELICIOUS.

just found this studio, the Delicious Design League, on grain edit. they have the sweetest screen printed posters for 20 dollars. guess which one i want? the one with the fat face, typical.  they have a blog and a shop and are from chicago.
