Blame Canada

My favorite part of the 2010 Winter Olympics thus far? Figure Skating concentration (fear) face...












Thanks A LOT inertia!

Thanks, Rolling Stone

I just looked at Weezy F. Baby's right hand, and now he gets to punch me. Awesome. If you looked at it, then he gets to punch you too.
This cover is like that movie the Ring, but obviously more dangerous. I'm about to get punched by a convicted felon.

The Real Walt Whitman

One of those days.

Found this trolling the internets. If anyone happens to know the artist, shoot me a line and I'll give credit where credit is due.

The Plural of Bento is Bento

Anna the Red has been creating and posting items about Character Bento, cooking instruction, the random toy, knit treats, the possible plush and accessible art. Her Japanese lunchboxes are the main purpose of Anna the Red's Bento Factory, and the current object of my internet affection.

Her Flickr Photosets are meticulously detailed and highly appreciated.

Through Burton's Looking Glass

Since I've moved from the midwest to the coastal south, I have completely neglected this blog without thinking twice. I'm not even sure who checks this thing anymore, but the hits keep coming. I don't have much to speak of, but I'm looking forward to Tim Burton's interpretation of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass." Alice in Wonderland (expected 3/05/10), has the hype machine grinding.

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Helena Bohnam Carter as the Red Queen. Anne Hathaway as The White Queen. Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar. Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock. Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts. Relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska as Alice: YES.


The film is actually a sequel to the original story, and follows Alice, now 17 years old, as she escapes from a snooty party and follows a white rabbit down a hole, back to Wonderland. The White Rabbit is convinced that he has the right girl, the one who had visited the magical land ten years prior. But Alice doesn’t remember her past visit to Wonderland. The creatures of Wonderland are ready to revolt and are hoping/waiting for Alice to help them, but will she? Can she? Whatever. It's in 3D.

Stephan Balleux

Those of you that tentatively keep an eye on this blog may have suspected that I have a fondness of skulls. I'm not quite sure where it came from, but I can promise that it's not going anywhere anytime soon. During my search of images for use in the creation of cell phone wallpaper, I came across and artist worth bumping to the forefront of this blog at the very least.

I present the dramatic work of Belgian artist Stephan Balleux.
He appears to be currently represented by Think.21 Contemporary Gallery (Brussels, Belgium). 
My Blackberry is going to look so badass.

Peur(s) du Noir

Spiders' legs brushing against naked skin…
Unexplainable noises heard at night in a dark bedroom…
A big empty house where you feel a presence…
A hypodermic needle getting closer and closer…
A dead thing trapped in a bottle of formaldehyde…
A huge growling dog, baring its teeth and staring…



"Rusty alleyways and vaporous ghosts painted by the masters of dread. Razor-sharp images that will slice your eye and nest there forever. Thrilling, disturbing and haunting. Bring the kids!" (Guillermo Del Toro)

Hitchin' a Ride

I'm moving down south in less than two weeks, and our transportation has come into question because my Mini's transmission was allegedly made by German children. That being the case, I am looking into alternate means to the aforementioned end. After much search and debate, I'm pretty sure that I've found a best case scenario in the work of Robert Nightingale.




From the Designer:
"For best results position yourself at traffic lights, railway stations or air hangers. Subtly wait for the opportune moment (which is precisely 7 seconds before the initial point of acceleration) and attach the product as firmly as possible to the host vehicle (a brief run up usually does the trick), paying attention to ground clearance for ones feet and enjoy the ride…"
