It’s been a great year for strong black and white logos! Glad to see a return to real design sense. The trendy gradient-happy marks look absolutely dated and insecure in comparison to the strong simple brands.

Leslie Levings is another favorite artist with a fun Flickr feed of her cute clay creatures. She also does a weekly photo-comic featuring her creations. Adopt your own Beastlies at her shop.

CW Wells, aka Snailbooty, is one of my favorite artists on Flickr. Her assemblages of toys, ephemera, and tiny hand-made masks provide a perfect dose of unsettling whimsy. I study the miniature dreamscapes in cautious fascination similar to that with which I inspected my childhood closet for monsters, spooking myself for fun.

On the Air.

Glad I’m not the only one who remembers David Lynch’s other TV show. “This is what Binky sees” is still a common catch phrase in my home.

Featured fave.

Christy Romanick, one of our favorite photographers and people, is featured in Scoute. Beautiful work as always.

Almost makes me wish I had hair.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people with pink hair. And lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people with blue hair. Sometimes even both! What’s next?

Catherine Zacchino makes cool creepy cute dolls. I love me some bunnies.

Time to check out the updates to Angus MacLane’s LEGO model gallery. Some impressive detail work.

Steve Cerio (one of our favorite artists and people in general) is looking for backers to get his film project off the ground. It’s a modest amount and you can pitch in as little as a buck. He’s offering some sweet rewards for small donations, so don’t miss your chance to get some delightful and collectible goodies. Spend today’s milk money at Kickstarter.

Take us to your leader.

I fully support a robot uprising if our new overlords are designed by Lipson Robotics.
