Pigeons & Papercrafts

After lurking within the depths of the internet, i came across This gem of a site and as my family keep pigeons, and I got a new printer last week (so cheap it almost hurt) I thought I'd give it a whirl...

Here he is in all his glory...

And then I thought 'Now what the hell do I do with him?'

Solution: Put him in with the birds....

Man did they freak when they saw me coming at them with a block of paper! they were all over the shop, kids were crying, sirens were sounding, but after a while they settles down and got a few pics ...

I'm pretty chuffed, a completely pointless exercise, but it filled in an hour of my unemployed time, which is much more productive then staring at image boards all day, gradually degrading my corneas with the glare from my netbook...

Kate Beaton does Darwin

Those who havn't seen the joy that is Hark! A vagrant are totally missing out, Kate Beaton is probably the best historical influenced cartoonist to date,  fantabulously (yes that is a real word) using mainly line in most of her comics to create manevolent, whimsical artwork cleverly intwined with modern humor with a dash of realism (in a round about way) 

This comic in particular has made my day a little brighter, including a pokemon reference, Science and a dinosaur-esk drawing (panel 3) 

Via: Hark, A Vagrant, Kate Beaton

If i was half as good at drawing as her i'd be a very happy man

The best thing you will ever see. period

1. the subject matter is awesome
2. The song is AWESOME
3. ITS AWESOME

Back in 'The DAY'

went into town today, did some charity shop snooping, looking for halloween costume ideas... nothing appeared to spark my interest. This was untill i went into the sweet shop and invested in.. none other than FIZZ WIZ POPPING CANDY!

Got home and shovelled this stuff in my mouth, it's like crack for kids and recovering adults... and then it began to pop, and that must be the trippiest thing ive done all year, i  was almost slightly unnerved, every mature fibre in my body was asking 'what the fuck is this stuff?' whilst my inner 5 year old was giggling and pretending the stck in his hand was a machine gun popping off veloceraptors on ski's.
I now have the an uncontrollable urge to draw with crayons, well apart from the white one. Obviously.
Also when was Fizz Wizz ever strawberry flavour? ive never noticed that - ever! Not that  it tastes like strawberry of course, all i could taste was AWESOME!
i also grabbed a bag of orange sherbert for under a quid, and im sitting here tripping off of it (i basically just downed the whole bag like a god). and you know wat?

I've never been happier :D

also why do my mums home made tomatoes look a little like brains when i cut them open?

And why has a ton of astroturf appeared in my porch?

speaking of randomly dumped crap, i went  to the dump today, man that place has gone down hill, when i was little a trip was an exciting affair, more often than not you would come back with more stuff than you went with, pirates buried treasure there, and im pretty sure Indiana jones went there to pick op the occassional item, but now its all...organised. Its like a giant filing cabinet of crap, you can't go digging for gold either, the men in high viz's shout at you 'excuse me sir- you are not allowed in the containers' and theres me wondering why you would put stairs up then... now it seems all the cool stuff is on ebay and the 'Man' has made dumps less exciting then they used to be. no wonder kid's dont behave these days- they have nothing to look forward to...

Vintage Ad's

I absolutely love 1950's illusration, its a cross between comic strips and information films, i love retro things, well old things in general really :D and so when i saw this ad campaign entitled 'Everything ages fast' by Sao Paulo ad agency Moma Propaganda i was in awe :D i love them
Vintage ads for cutting edge internet stuff :D 10 points for you good sir's

Download these snazzy peices of art work from here in hi def :D so you to can be awesome

Uncyclopedia- Everything that Wikipedia used to be

when searching for orange's Awesomasaurus ad campaign (which i still cannot find a picture of) i came accross Uncyclopedia, filling the gap that the new, moderated wikipedia has left (see Last post), its just full of nonsense, and occasionly some whitty well written entry turns up

''Given the controversial nature of Awesomesaurus, the genus has often been overlooked in the mainstream. Many Anning followers felt vindicated, however, when Michael Crichton included a pointed reference to Awesomesaurus in Jurassic Park.


“If we hatch an Awesomesaurus, how the hell will we feed it? Impossible. We'd need the whole rest of the island, every day of the week.”

~ Dr. Ian Malcolm (character from Jurrasic Park) on Awesomesaurus''

i checked the chicken article as well because i hoped that  Ryan north's legacy still existed... some of the best stuff i found was ii HERE

''What happened to the chicken since it was a T-Rex? In direct rebuke of the chicken's royal and reptilian aspirations, modern chicken have been so modified that now they do not so much resemble the Rex as they do the common garden slug, itself a sad parody of the more graceful snail. The science of eugenics, pioneered by evil men like Charles Darwin, Colonel C. H. Sanders, and Adolph Hitler, led to the manipulation of the chicken's once terrifying genes, twisting and changing them into something base and disgusting''

Although i see the need for a boring informative thing such as wikipedia... i still love this  :D

yeah a Nazi T-REX

Donky Kong

Holy Crap this is AWESOME!


So the story Goes,an amateur photographer Chris Spicuzza was spending her day at the San Francisco Zoo, doing what photographers do... taking pictures.
However some stupid kid drops their DSi XL into the enclosure (I mean you're at a bloody zoo for gods sake why on earth are you playing a DS?)
But like all Higher Apes Gorrillas love the nintendo franchise (DK is something of a role model), and so thje gorrilla picked it up and leveled up some of those pokemon. And thats why i love animals
