lol #follow rite? #TYBG Last week I was paging through the interwebz and found the craziest thing EVER. It’s called “social media,” sometimes referred to as “the social medias,” and like 30 other people must have also found it on the Google web search site or something because it was POPPING. There are so [...]
Taking a quick break to pour some out for Don Cornelius, coolest dude around. And here he is interviewing James Brown (with an Al Sharpton appearance):
1. Do you also have $58 million just sitting around the house? Sucks, right? Well now you could buy a medieval castle. 2. Or you could buy the house that Pablo Escobar was killed in. 3. Jenny Morgan’s portraits at Lifelounge. (Some NSFW.) 4. Ridiculous pasta tips and schadenfreude. 5. Video: new Matthew Dear EP is [...]
The Jealous Curator wrote some nice words about us this afternoon and put up some good shots of work by Kimiaki Yaegashi (as you can see above), Lilly Piri, Martha Rich, Kate Pugsley, and Gianluca Foli. Go page through their stuff and check em out on Twitter and Facebook.
Yeah so they’re from a while ago, but they’re still amazing. Next level gifs = “experimental animation.” Heiko’s TTP collection is here.
1. As TTP owner Barry emailed, with the link to the video above, “DAVE COOPER ANIMATION!” 2. “Make a contemporary version of a modern day classic.” The Fox is Black’s re-covered books contest. Go enter it. 3. Shots from Less and More: the Design Ethos of Dieter Rams at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art [...]
When the TTP robots aren’t reconstructing Lego replicas of famous Roman wars or trying to draw perfect circles, they travel the world to find new artists. TTP is, after all, international through and through, and the robots do not like being told they are “parochial” or “limited in scope.” It makes them angry. But just [...]
The Selby photographed Olaf Hajek’s Berlin Mitte home. Jealous? (You can see Olaf’s TTP collection here. )

1. Haruki Murakami covers from around the world. 2. Issue 8 of the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest is out. Something about “Grassroots Modernism.” 3. Thanks to Illustration Friday’s Penelope Dullaghan for her kind words this week. Go look at Penelope’s TTP collection. 4. Bookshelf porn. 5. (Above) The trailer for LCD Soundsystem’s swan song is out. Whoa.
Alex Varanese‘s The Imprint is a six part series that’s a little different from the two series we featured last week. It still has that sort of nostalgic appeal to the aesthetics of a previous generation like the Alt/1977 series, and it still has that focus on specific purveyors of culture and personality that you get [...]
1. Time‘s monster list of 2011 lists. Good lord that’s the last one, promise. 2. New works by TTP’s Olaf Hajek (above) in Illustrated Mundo this week. 3. In case you get snowed into your home and can’t get to the store, here’s how to make homemade marshmellow fluff. 4. Apparently the longest palindrome sentence [...]

1. We started a little Tumblr thing. 2. All the end of year lists can be annoying, but sometimes it’s worth reflecting on who we lost. Somehow Family Circus cartoonist Bil Keane’s passing went somewhat unnoticed. 3. Haroshi made a giant EFF YOU out of compressed skateboards. 4. Nowness has a list of wintry drinks. [...]
Pawn Works here in Chicago put up their 2011 sticker review recently. Stickers have always been around, but with the installation of sticker vending machines around the city and heightened awareness towards them, they’re picking up some serious momentum as a go-to medium. Also go check out their sticker club.
1. The actual ads from the Mad Men era. Not that much has changed, has it. 2. R. Kelly says he wrote 32 more chapters to his “Trapped in the Closet” R&B opera, or whatever it is. 3. The delicious (looking) work of Mary Ellen Johnson. 4. “Postmodernism: Style and Subversion, 1970-1990,” is showing [...]
