Tigers, Logs and Bushwackers
I stumbled upon the work of Andrew Neyer today. He has a great and inspiring body of work. He is using all sorts of different mediums and he really looks like his having fun with the work he does. He also spends his free time making furniture. If thats not the dream life, i don’t know what is.
Be sure to check out his shop, he has some killer shirts and prints.

Great stop-motion bit from PES
Extrema Awesome
I am pretty much loving everything Anagrama is doing lately. I especially love these two brands they created, Reforestacion Extrema and Agromundo.
-Great use of one color and paper.
Check them out, Anagrama
Happy Independence Day Texas. I’ll have a Texas beer tonight.
Thank You!

All new states are invested, more or less, by a class of noisy, second-rate men who are always in favor of rash and extreme measures, but Texas was absolutely overrun by such men.

Levi’s Made & Crafted - History
Back in the days, it was common practice for Levi’s representatives to personally travel to stores that were not yet carrying their brand, bringing with them a suitcase filled with a selection of their fine products.
After personally taking the store owner through the offering, they would leave a sample of the key elements that make a pair of Levi’s jeans “positively superior”: the Cone denim, the Oilcloth Guarantee Ticket and of course a copper rivet to hold it all together.
This salesman sample was in use from around 1908 up until the early 1930’s and they thought it would be nice to revisit this particular bit of history and base Levi’s® Made & Crafted™ branding and hang tag on it.
Levi’s Made & Crafted recently opened a pop-up shop at Smith + Butler on 225 Smith Street Brooklyn, NY 11231

Mechanical Rest
There is something beautiful about how nature interacts with machine. Peter Lippmann shot these great shots of old cars resting places taking over by vines and moss.
There are more Cats?
Today Apple unveils the next MAC OS X named - Mountain Lion.
Gosh, i did not know there could be so many cats. Apple is really riding this out as much as they can. The update is to be inspired by the iOS operating system on iPads and iPhones.
Biggest things i see for the update is the killing of the ever so useful iChat. It will be turned into iMessage so users can message from Computer to Devices and back. Seems maybe useful, just really not into a change to something that i use everyday. I wonder if we will be able to keep our screen names or will we be using out emails or phone numbers like the iOS does currently.

Twitter will now be integrated like iOS and other updates like Notes, Reminders, Game Center, Notification Center. It sure looks fun, but well see what happens when it releases mid summer.
Watch a video over the new update on Apple’s site.
Sugar-Low
Since everyone found out Hostess is filing for bankruptcy, everyones been wondering what will happen to the spongy-creme filled goodness that we all used to love so much when we were kids? I STILL love them. Its too bad a historic american brand could die, but who knows. It might just make them that more known. I’m kind of craving one right now. I’v been thinking about it way too much.
Great article on an ex-twinkie taster.
