The Long Overdue Are

a quick post with hopefully more to follow sometime soon, I've got a backlog of stuff to get to, but I've had some thing holding up Firefox tabs, and they're as good as any to pass on.


Design By Humans
Another T-shirt voting site, like Threadless or Woot! Shirt, except this one seems to feel a little bit more illustrative and thus awesome. I have beef with Threadless just because there seems to be a Threadless "look", and I'm not a big fan, just saying. I like this site though, plus better payouts to designers.


Circus Museum
This has already made the rounds on the internets some time ago, but I didn't know about until I needed some reference on a circus freak poster. Amazing collection of old circus posters, it's huge and organized, and creepy. just make sure you turn off the sound.


Thinkmule
Jeremy Pruitt is Thinkmule. Thinkmule is awesome. Therefore, you should go look at his site.


Jon Stich
This one courtesy of Melanie of Design Inspirations, his work is pretty rad, definitely worth checking out. unfortunately, his site is in flash and I can't post anything from his site (because I'm too lazy to host it myself)


Jenny Bird Alcantara
Pretty sweet surrealist stuff. Maybe a little bit too derivative of Frida, but I think she's got her own thing going on and it works. Found her by doing a google image search on something ("birds" i think), and ended up seeing her work, which is why you should not have a site in flash while you're still up and coming and never had a feature interview, never know who or how someone might stumble on your site. (flash doesn't get crawled by search engine "spiders" aka your content doesn't get indexed)


And this is just funny: "Atheism vs Christianity: 2.More than likely, they are smarter than you are. This can be difficult to come to grips with, but it does appear to be true and is a claim that is actually supported by the Bible (1 Corinthians 1:18-31)" I'm not gonna comment, but when people admit their faults, it's always nice to see.

The Friday Are

Sunset effects in Photoshop
Nothing too special here, bascially it's how to take an existing photo and spruce it up, but the technique on how to get sun flares, and some other things are pretty right on.
Gallery of Illustrated Book Endpapers
Before book endpapers were blank, they used to have thematic illustrations, check it out.
Artblog of juvenile lifers in prison
Vintage ads featuring OJ
For some reason OJ sports a booted third leg. Strange, weird, awesome, and now, just a tiny bit sad.
15 examples of great web typography
After being linked to from Digg, this post crashed ILT's server. Excellent type, and well-written analysis.
Collection of old magazine scans
Guy publishes an archive of old magazine scans, nice nice.
Beehive in bell jar
Amazing slideshow of someone who put a bell jar on top of hole in a beehive, bees build hive within the belljar, instant honey!
Tea-bag art
"Join the group in four easy steps:

1. Drop a bag of tea on an index card
2. Allow to dry
3. Finish drawing
4. Scan and share on Flickr
4. Drink tea

The above “leg warmers” image is by Flickr user, Dave Gray."



This video is so awesome, it got loaded twice into the same clip. Drawn stop-motion animation using walls as the animating surface, so sweet.
