How cool is this illustrated skateboard (skatebeard?) deck by Mr. Bingo?!  He’s got a lot of great illustrations in his portfolio. Definitely worth checking out!

Ok, so there are exceptions, but generally speaking, I completely agree with this illustration by Viktor Hertz: most 3D flicks are just a dressed up version of a steaming pile of terrible movie. I like to imagine that movie execs are sitting around saying, “Well, the movie sucks. There’s no doubt about it. But if we make it 3D, people might not notice!”

Here’s yet another example of why I love Twitter: Last week I tried coconut water for the first time and instantly loved it. So what did I do? I pulled out my phone and tweeted that I’d “just lost my coconut water virginity”. The next day, Karen Kurycki (a.k.a. CMYKaren, the long lost sister of CMYBacon) posted an illustrated version of my tweet on her site, Absurd Overheard, which is an illustrated collection of absurd/funny/silly statements overheard. I encourage you to check out Absurd Overheard to see more of Karen’s illustrated statements. Seriously, she’s got some real zingers.

Is it too early for a Valentine’s post? Hope not, because these Breaking Bad Valentine’s Day cards made by Beth are too good not to share. I guess if you haven’t watched the show before these won’t make a whole lot of sense…so if that is the case, go watch it. Seriously. It’s a great show.

I’m a sucker for ampersands, but even is you don’t have a soft spot for the my favorite logogram you gotta admit that this t-shirt designed by Chris Sandlin, a.k.a. SockMonkee, is pretty awesome.

Buy it for $18.00.

A while back I did a series of pop culture-inspired Pac-Man ghosts. Since Kim Jong Il died today, it seemed fitting to resurrect this one…

Barcelona-based illustrator Judy Kaufmann has an incredible portfolio of whimsical prints that make me smile. Her Repetitive Series and the Famous Series are particularly awesome. Check out Judy’s website to see more of her work (this post just scratches the surface) or visit her Etsy Shop to purchase a print.

If you haven’t seen the movie Trainspotting (or read the novel), then these prints might not make a lot of sense, but I’ll do my best to fill in the gaps: Essentially, it’s a film about a heroin addict in Edinburgh who tries to get clean. The movie begins with this iconic quote from the main character, Mark Renton, who “chose not to choose life” and instead chooses heroin.
