When Pixar want a shit hot vintage poster designing for one of their films, they come knocking on Eric Tan’s door. He has a surprisingly modest blog documenting his amazing catalogue of work, looking forward to Pixar’s next realease to see what he does for them.
Fan art has a tendacy to be, well… awful! Springfield Punx though is far from it, created as a little pet project by Dean Fraser, he illustrates some of his favorite characters and stars in the style of the Simpons. Above is Number 6 from the Prisoner, He-Man & Rick Astley.
I‘ve blogged about Mootsie before, he won the 2007 cpluv t-shirt competition with I wish I could do this with my penis. Now he’s back with this awesome poster Typo-graphic Dope, check out the detail on the shading, that’s a perfectionist. Available to buy as a poster (along with his penis t-shirt) from his MySoti page.
Good to see a site without a white or black background, loving the shade of green used on Wilson Miner’s new site (only full green effect on the homepage mind). Masterfully laid out, I’m almost tempted to take it into photoshop and work out the grid system he’s used. If you compare it to his old site, you can see what a good job he’s done. Not surprising though he’s the guy who designed www.apple.com no less.
Woh, I’ve just been back and it’s changed colour, it’s now a kind of yellow, I’m liking.

I‘ve been back for well over a month now, but I’ve only just got round to starting the mammoth job of editing the hours of footage I shot of my walk across America… It’ll be a while before I get it all done, so I thought I’d upload some little chunks as and when I get them done. First up is New Mexico in 2 minutes, set to the beat of Dueling Banjos from the film Deliverance.
New Mexico was without doubt the worst section of the CDT, it’s not very mountainous and there wasn’t many footpaths, a lot of the time we were walking on dirt roads or bush wacking. It was hot as hell, not a great deal of shade and very little naturally occuring surface water. Most of our water was pumped out of the water table for cattle and we usually had to filter it from their troughs… some weren’t that bad, some were bloody awful, I was quite surprised by what I was happy (genuinely really happy) to drink when desperate!
It wasn’t all that bad though, it was interesting walking through the desert, although I wouldn’t really want to do it again (once is enough). The Gila River and surrounding wilderness area were amazing (not to mention the hot springs). Pie Town was super friendly, just before Cuba and then further north to Colorado was all good. It was also the cheapest state and the stars at night were awesome.

There’s nothing better than a free drink and on Saturday I had plenty :) Courtesy of my friends Ant & Hal, who are launching a new brand of Cachaça in the UK – Abelha. For those who don’t know, Cachaça is a sugar cane based spirit (a little bit like rum, but not rum) from Brasil. It’s the main ingredient of the world famous Caipirinha cocktail. I’m so jealous, wish I had my own brand of booze.
It was a fancy dress do and we took the Brazilian theme to it’s logical conclusion by going in pubeless naked suits… Check out the photos of the event here »
