Under the Rainbow
One of the weirder movies starring Chevy Chase.
In World War II era Los Angeles, the manager of the Culver Hotel leaves his nephew in charge for a weekend. The nephew changes the name to the Hotel Rainbow and overbooks with royalty, assassins, secret agents, Japanese tourists, and munchkins (from the cast of The Wizard of Oz (1939)). Secret Service agent Bruce Thorpe and casting director Annie Clark find romance amidst the intrigue and confusion

Smoothe Da Hustla, Hustlin’, 1996
YUDU. Thoughts?
Has anybody used one of these? We are putting out some TWBE gear for the warm weather and I’m trying to sort out if we should go the traditional screenprint way or get 21st century…
The Hover Scooter
This would be fun on a golf course.
Mark Ryden’s new toy looked a lot cooler when I thought it was this big size
Seriously, as a large, vinyl sculpture it would have been dope. Scale it down to apartment living material, meh.

art movements
A timeline of modern & contemporary art artists by movement, school, style, period, theme & art prize…
Looking for the history in artist movements and who the players were? Here’s a site that has broken it down for you. Take a look, it’s pretty detailed.
Margaret Kilgallen in the Juxtapoz Archive
To put it modestly, Margaret Kilgallen’s influence in art has been far reaching. In the most recent scanned issue from Juxtapoz’s archive there is a great profile of her as well as the added bonus of artists Walton Ford, Winston Smith, and the Clayton Brothers.
it’s all in the paper
Papier (= paper), is designed by Stefan Diez for Saskia Diez. The bags are made out of a material named Tyvek, which is a synthetic paper made from PE that is extremely tearproof, lightweight, waterproof and recyclable. Really nice looking after some wear and tear.

Shepard Fairey Tuesday: Defend Equality Merch
Help raise awareness for the fight to overturn prop. 8 by visiting the F.A.I.R. Love Unites store and purchasing one of the many items available. It could be a dog t-shirt, some greeting cards, a mouse pad, maybe even a sweatshirt or t-shirt. Whatever it may be…
“The money raised at this store goes directly back into the fight for marriage equality. When you buy a Shepard Fairey shirt from our store you’re not just showing your support for marriage equality, you’re catapulting our movement forward and getting us one step closer to reclaiming our fundamental civil rights.”
Why the F*** do you have a kid?
The photo above is like a step-by-step to teenage pregnancy.
The website Why The Fuck Do You Have A Kid? is a hilarious, visual argument for contraceptives.
