It's Summer. And, That Can Mean Only One Thing.

It's time to grill. Know your cuts of beef, gentlemen.

When things get busy, remember...

I'm going to the store to buy some soup now.

This is pretty awesome. What a great way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Warhol's Campbell's Soup collection. I can't believe it took this long... and I can't believe I'm going to have stacks of soup cans on the shelf in my office. 

Here's what I gathered from designtaxi.com:

For twenty years, Andy Warhol had Campbell’s Soup for lunch every day—which inspired him to create his 1962 painting collection of 32 Campbell’s Soup cans. 
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Warhol’s famous work, Campbell’s Soup is introducing special-edition cans of its condensed tomato soup—a flavor that the artist liked—featuring labels reminiscent of the pop artist’s paintings. 
The 1.2 million cans in four color schemes, would be sold at Target stores worldwide from Sunday onwards, at 75-cents each. 
To create the new label designs, Campbell’s design team worked with The Warhol Foundation.

Get After It

I GET IT. HE'S A BOUNTY HUNTER.

But is there college tuition reimbursement?

Because flying things are awesome?

I don't even want to think about what happens if you're late for work at Death Star Enterprises...

I always suspected that Ween was channeling intelligence from a higher power ... I just couldn't prove it.

This is the best worst reverse-psychology tagline ever...

I'm going to buy some right now because I know my wife won't drink it. And I'm a man. And I like action movies, yet I'm watching my figure. Here, Here!

...And here's the 2011 List

FORBES FICTIONAL 15 RICHEST CHARACTERS


You’re not imagining it: The rich do keep getting richer. Even the fictionally rich.


The members of our 2011 list of wealthiest fictional characters have an average net worth of $9.7 billion, up 20% from last year. In aggregate, the Fictional 15 are worth $131.6 billion --more than the gross domestic product of New Zealand. To qualify for the Fictional 15, characters must be known, both within their fictional universe and by their audience, for being rich. Net worth estimates are based on an analysis of the fictional character's source material, and where possible, valued against known real-world commodity and share price movements. 

I Wanna Be Fake Rich

Ran across this article about Forbes 15 Richest Fictional Characters. It's a bit outdated (2006 list), but I'm guessing a lot of these still hold true. I would imagine Bruce Wayne and Anthony Stark would've climbed the list a bit, you know, since they've released a few big movies over the past couple years...

I also love that the article mentions how Santa Claus was snubbed. I guess it really doesn't take that much money to bring happiness and joy to children all over the world?

I find this humorous

...and I don't even have cats.

West Wars

A series of characters imagined and created by a hobby artist (day job: high school history & film teacher) who calls himself Sillof.

He has six-to-eight variations of Star Wars inspired characters setting the characters in different time and genre periods throughout history. My favorite might just be the West Wars collection. Maybe because I like western movies?

Check out his entire line of custom Star Wars figures here. They're pretty flipping awesome.

En Route

Handiedan's latest "Trois No. 1" from this year. It should be shipping to me shortly. Can't wait. It's a 13-color screen print. Pretty dope. This one will make 5 pieces from her. Love her work.

...I never get to have any fun. Awe shucks...

An homage to the ultimate error card of 1989: Fuck Face.

I have to get this t-shirt.
