A Wine Rack For Train Buffs
Tight.
“The Wine Rack Shelves feature sixteen pieces of rail from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company circa 1908. Two switch plate cuffs provide the feet on the split hickory crosstie. It is finished with golden oak stain and a polyurethane sealer. This piece is individually numbered with a salvaged railroad tie date nail from 1925.”

Furni Rockassins
A while back I mentioned that our friends at Furni were producing a limited run of mocassins handmade in Canada. Well, the pair I ordered arrived earlier this week and I couldn’t be happier with how beautiful the shoe is. Unfortunately for those who did not order, there is no chance of getting a pair in this color. However, word is that Furni will be doing another color run in black later this season. Don’t sleep.
Inspected Gadget: Star Wars gets the Blu Ray treatment
The original trilogy, now in full 1080p HD glory just got an official release date of September 16, 2011. Throw it on a THX-certified TV and you’re golden. Anyway, I hope it includes the original, deleted opening to “Return of the Jedi.”

When The Ad World Steals
This is a post that could go on for ages…
I saw this ad on Notcot and lost some respect for creatives in the ad world. Things were going well too. Tiny Giraffes? Awesome. Watch this ad above (sound off, if you don’t want to be sold to) and tell me who is the first artist that comes to mind. Blu? Yup. They might have been able to get away with stealing too, if they hadn’t left the (fake) wash trails behind the animation.
The Andy Monument
Today at 6pm sharp in the NW corner of Union Square, Artist and D.C. boy Rob Pruitt, with support of the Public Art Fund will unveil The Andy Monument.
“The Andy Monument, by Rob Pruitt, is a figurative sculpture of Andy Warhol in the neo-classical style. Situated in Union Squared Park, it stands across from the building where Andy Warhol moved his Factory to in 1968. Just around the corner from Max’s Kansas City, this was the location where Valerie Salonas’ assassination attempt occurred and where Interview magazine was launched. The statue sits on a classical style pediment, which instead of being carved from marble, is cast in concrete. The figure, at 7 feet tall, is slightly larger then life and chrome-plated, to reflect the changing world around it.”
Below is a letter from Rob Pruitt stating the intent and reasoning behind the sculpture:
