The above images are from the online antique storefront called ‘Three Potato Four’ created by husband/wife team Janet Morales & Stu Eli. With a strong passion for collecting and curating lost objects they moved from their loft in NYC to Reston, Virginia in order to be closer to their family and better afford and maintain [...]

Rolls-Royce GHOST – World Premiere from 12FRAMES on Vimeo. As a bit of contrast to the previous ‘Logorama’ post… I really enjoy seeing classic brands embrace new ideas and re-emerge in ways that remind us all why they became classics in the first place. Rolls-Royce was obviously going for a very fresh, refined and high-tech vibe in [...] As a setup, or disclaimer for this post, I have discovered that for whatever reason I’m drawn in to older decrepit vehicles, especially vans and especially circa 1970s. I don’t know why. Seems others are as well, probably because we grew up with them. Filmaker and photographer Joe Stevens has pulled together a terrific collection [...] The classic Polaroid self-developing film camera is back with their soon to be released ‘One Pic1000′ instant camera. Since 2007 many loyal Polaroid enthusiasts have been hoping this re-launch would occur. The company plans to release multiple retro-chic designs and has even announced that pop star lady gaga will be the creative director for a [...] Marvin Malecha (acting president of American Institute of Architects and dean of North Carolina University College of Design) speaks on how architects and designers are the cultural leaders of the world, intelligent materials and the overall effects of high-speed information transfer + social networking on modern day architecture. This is a very enlightening video to [...] Designer James Perse has come up with some pretty sharp surfboard/paddleboard designs as part of a limited edition collection. These boards are classically designed and hand shaped by one of SoCal’s most reputable retro shapers from the 60′s. Available in sizes 7ft through 9ft 6″ and in the three color options shown above (white, [...] Bas Jan Ader was a Dutch conceptual artist, performance artist, photographer and filmmaker. As much as he was all of those things he was also a mystery to many of us. His works primarily consisted of odd scenarios captured as short film performance pieces. One of his most popular was called ‘I’m too sad to [...] Forty years ago today Apollo 11 landed on the moon’s surface. In order to commemorate this historical day properly why not land on the Moon yourself? Google announced recently that it has added this layer of capability to it’s Google Earth application. Just click on the planet button in the top toolbar and select ‘Moon.’ [...] This is a great interview with world renown German industrial designer Dieter Rams. Rams studied architecture at the Werkkunstschule Wiesbaden as well as learning carpentry from 1943 to 1957. After working for the architect Otto Apel between 1953 and 1955 he joined the electronic devices manufacturer Braun where he became chief of design in 1961, [...] This animated intro for The Beatles Rockband video game was created by English comic book artist and designer Jamie Hewlett (best known for his work on the Gorillaz). His classic, bold illustration style compliments the Beatles perfectly in my opinion. The elongated figures capture the character of the fab four in a youthful fresh way. [...] I’ve Got You and You’ve Got Me – New Buffalo Remixed by Broken Social Scene from Karen Abad ♥s Dinosaurs. on Vimeo. I find this video directed by cinematography grad student Karen Abad to be extremely entertaining in a quirky kind of way. The story is simple. Two young moderately tattooed hipsters find love through ‘Bomb [...] KLUGE from Northern Lights on Vimeo. Nick Sambrato takes the term ‘traditional medium’ to a whole new level by embracing a technology that is almost 550 years old. He operates a massive and complex machine called the KLUGE letterpress. The video is well produced, entertaining and informative. It’s nice to see folks putting their heart and [...] I came across this this amazing piece of history while browsing one of my favorite time-killing bicycle web destinations www.fixedgeargallery.com. Fixed Gear Gallery is a running picture gallery of fixed gear bikes from all over the world that is updated daily (currently about 9,400 posts). I’ve seen some pretty wild creations. If you have a [...] This 8bit Punk Rock band from NYC called Anamanaguchi! uses a hacked 1985 Nintendo NES to create their music. It’s retro goodness through and through. Guitarist/Programmer Peter Berkman, Ary Warnaar and James DeVito, create some really catchy Pixie/Weezer inspired digital delight by tweaking the NES’s soundchip. From what I have read their live show [...] We all make mistakes in life. Some bigger than others. This retro video trailer from 1958 depicts a desperate scenario of a young woman who has mistakenly married a monster from outer space (I call them Aliens). It’s so sad to think that someone could make such a huge mistake like this but I guess [...] |
