Aesthetic Apparatus calls this the “slightly empowering T-shirt:”
While I find that description hilarious, I’d feel hugely empowered in this shirt. I’m a bit under 5’2″ and I weigh as much as a ten year old boy…I want this to be my TINY DYNAMO uniform. It’s going on the wish list…
ENTHUSIASM!
Anatomically correct.
Are you ready to get the wind up?
I spy…
The road (or track) less traveled…
You have the right to remain silent:
Aw, I bet my roommate has had to do this for me…introvert that I am.
I’m not sure why, but I kind of like this. I think it would look great with other species.
Ah, innovation for the skinny girl. I’ll take mine extra pointy, so it doubles as a weapon.
Actually, I think I can “weight” a little…
Til I eat a few of these…
I always renovate my house in an evening gown.
And just so you leave this blog a little smarter today:
My dear friend Skye recently directed me to GUBLERNATION, quite (correctly) certain that I would enjoy the various comedic gems to be discovered there.
One look and, in a rare astrological outburst, I immediately said “I’d be shocked if the author of this blog is not a fellow Pisces” (we often possess a distinctly…”Dr Seussian” quality).
However, I didn’t know that Matthew Gray Gubler is actually a well known genius on the popular program Criminal Minds.
Pardon my pop culture ignorance. I’m always many years behind on even the best TV shows.
Twin Peaks rocks, by the way.
The best part of light colored canvas shoes: sketch-ability (I hear this pair makes you run really fast, too)…
Here I spent hours making a pair of astronomy Mary janes, complete with actual Hubble footage…and I’m schooled by these badass monsters.
If we ever walk up to each other and engage in a shoe battle, I think my spiral galaxies would get devoured by the striped snake.
Drawings…
This little chap’s story is quite unique. But don’t read it to your kids at bedtime. There are syringes.

From the awesome Goddess Sophia Walker
Let’s start with some murderous intent, shall we?
Deus ex Machina.
Because you wouldn’t want to trouble yourself…
I’ll say:
Love this guy. He needs to go on a pendant with the kaiju (bottom of the page if you click here).
Oh Vincent Price, did you fall on some hard times?
Is the fire customary? Or did “Ivy Pete and the Limbomaniacs” go the extra mile here?
You know what this grill needs? More hot dogs.
This is just too much (fun) for my brain to process at once:
A little comic from a collection of “sad animals” sent by my wonderful friend/reader/contributor Jim. It made me laugh out loud.
Clearly, this fellow needs to take a lesson from Li’l Brudder the one-legged dog (whom I proudly wear on a T-shirt from my best friend). He’s a champion.
And now for a couple of art pieces…
A new Ron English piece I’m somewhat fond of:
Beautiful photo by Sabina Tabakovic:
More things…
Sweet.
I adore this picture.
Thomas Edison looking more badass than you, me or anyone we know.
New from Pixar! (via Dan Meth who will surely get a feature post here soon)
Today in the US we celebrate our Independence Day. I’m not exactly the type to throw on red, white and blue and wave an American flag…but I’ll gladly give you some unsettling waxworks of American forefathers.
George Washington’s cold dead eyes welcome you…
These are actually supposed to be Benjamin Franklin:
A little bit o’ Lincoln:
Looking like the sinister cousin of Mr. Rogers (hide your kiddies)…
Group shots!
And two bonus images from Neatorama…
Awesome Statue of Liberty construction shot:
And Lady Liberty herself looking eeeeeevil.
Are you ready for something incredible, supposedly printed in 1961?
I couldn’t find much info about The Executive Coloring Book, aside from the source (the marvelous Surviving Sophia Walker.
Is it for real? Is it ironic? The world may never know.
I’m deviating from my usual blog fare for this little gem. NSFW due to language, but the subject matter is about as safe for work as it gets.
Absolutely hilarious! Send this to all the men you know who may feel that drinking tea is a tad effeminate.
“DON’T SLURP! IT’S RUDE!”
Hey Dad…I have the wonderfullest thing for you today:
Every word of last year’s Fathers Day post remains true…
Today I’d like to like to honor my dad, who is truly one of the most amazing individuals I’ve ever known. This man has been a stellar role model of compassion, responsibility and integrity, who continues to inspire me on a daily basis. I owe so much of who I am, and anything I may achieve in the future, to his love and guidance.
It’s a rare person (and a rare parent) who can seamlessly blend rationality and emotion, regulation and freedom, wish and possibility. He selflessly provided so much, yet taught me to take nothing for granted. From him, I learned to hope for great things…yet never balk at working hard to get them. I learned that love is not only words, but the genuine desire to make someone’s world a better place, honoring their needs with equal (if not more) importance than one’s own.
Dad, not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the hell out of you! May I go forward in this world with the values you have taught me and make you proud…
I like this card. I think I could still do this and my dad would barely feel it! (by Dear Nic)
Dad…you’re #1…and the World’s Greatest.
Classic toy…mildly menacing…
The glowing soul of an industrial plant…
One of those days.
Fire retardant shorts? Not doing a very good job, it seems.
Take THAT, Lady Gaga…you’re not the first to dress in meat.
And here we have the inspiration for The Human Centipede; the worst sculpture in the known universe.
Awesome.
I give you heart shaped whale anatomy…for future use on your handmade valentines.
Welcoming, indeed.
And I leave you with this sage advice:
