What about all those astronauts being treated differently by gravity? #OccupySpace
Señor Salme
Some smooth, creamy, butterlicious illustrations to make your eye’s fat-kid dreams come true. If they’re still hungry after this, well, you’ve got a serious problem and you should get some help. I hear the MOMA has a great program for people like you. Fatty. But seriously, get some treatment, your mother and I are worried.

Tweaking into a whole new era.
Branding 10,000 Lakes
What are you doing for the next 27 years? Probably having a family, working, replacing a couple of water heaters in your house. Designer Nicole Meyer will be creating brands for the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota, one a day, every day. It’s a daunting task to be sure, but she seems in pretty good spirits about it, and so far all of her designs are fantastic. This is a good thing for those of you out there in the design world, because someone that talented and prolific has focused on something other than stealing all of your clients by just being better. Breathe easy, guys.
Melanie Authier
Mmmm, abstract deliciousness to carry you through to the weekend. I would walk all around in those paintings.
Brad Kunkle
Hey, Brad Kunkle, Gustav Klimt called…he says you’re doing a great job. So yes, there are a couple of elements like Klimt’s in Kunkle’s paintings, namely the dynamic female figures and the gold leaf elements, but that’s pretty much it. In fact I had to dad-poke a friend in the chest to really drive home the point. And Kunkle’s paintings are so beautiful, I tend to overlook any similarities. Each piece is sharp and soft at the same time, carefully crafted with gold and silver leaf to create different effects in different light. The contrast between the metals and the washed out palette just kills me. Seriously. Dead. This dad-poke is coming to you from beyond the graaaaaave (spooky ghost voice). OOoooOOOOoooooOOOOoooooo. Bonus points for having the same first name as meeeeEEEEeeeeeEEEEEeee.
Jonathan Levitt
Well I thought I had already mentioned Jonathan Levitt here, but looking back through old posts I have proven that idea wrong. Once step closer to absolute truth. Allow me to put things to right by saying that I spent about half an hour today looking at Levitt’s personal photo blog rather than doing all the things I get paid to do. TIME THEFT! Most of what I learned from my time wasting is that Mr. Levitt leads a more entertaining and certainly more photogenic life than I do, or at least is better at seeing things that way. But I think I can get to that level, I’ll just need a better career, a better camera, and better friends. How hard do you think it would be to fake my own death and start over?
Justin Kamerer
Designer and printmaster Justin Kamerer, aka Angryblue, just made my little printmaking heart skip a beat. That is some detailed, intricate, and provocative shit he’s making. I’d be green with envy if I weren’t already mauve with afternoon food coma.
