CB2 Space Age Cat and Doggie Bowls

February 23, 2011 – 3:43 PM

New cat / doggie bowls from CB2 (actually they are snack bowls). These look really nice and retail 19.95 for the large size and 10.95 for the mini. I think our cats will get these, and I really like how they are tilted forward. Link from Modern Cat.

Dagger tattoo by Cris Cleen

February 21, 2011 – 5:17 PM

Recently got this dagger by Cris Cleen over at Idle Hand. As usual, super stoked on the craftsmanship and attention to detail. He did this really fast, I think it was like an hour and half to two hours. Cris also did the owl chest piece I have.

Jawbox – Mirrorful

February 21, 2011 – 12:22 PM

90s video directing was so grunge, but this song and BAND still rock. You have to watch this one directly on YouTube for some reason.

Banksy Owns Hollywood for Oscars?

February 16, 2011 – 3:58 PM

Apparently there’s talk about Banksy taking over Hollywood in preparation for the Oscars. This bilboard looks nothing like Banksy’s work in my opinion… Sort of reminds me more of Kaws when he was drawing over CK bus stop ads years and years back.

Eboy Paris Puzzle

February 16, 2011 – 3:50 PM

Let’s face it, puzzles are fun. And what’s better than doing a puzzle whilst admiring in close detail the pixel based handiwork that goes into Eboy. You can order it here. It has 1500 pieces, so it should take about 4-5 hours to do I’d guess.
