What's better than a Ted Kennedy endorsement? Well, almost anything really... but an endorsement is especially awesome coming from Shepard Fairey, cause then you get awesome posters chock full of awesome. Visit ObeyGiant.com to order your own.
It may look a little hammer-'n-sickle, but that's just his street art style, yo! Fairey don't mean nothin' by it (Obama != socialist... for reals).
Thanks Gawker !

John Allison, the creator of Scary Go Round, has released a new tote- Once I Buy it, It's Safe. Which is true... this tote just won't be safe until I buy it... It's my solemn duty. I gotta show those exchange rates who's boss!
Not only is it a pretty rockin' and Earth friendly shopping bag...but by buying it you'll be supporting a fantastic webcomic which every single one of you should start reading immediately. No seriously... right now. This blog isn't even good, what are you still doing here?

I was recently chastised by my father for being a little heavy on the Obama. I tried to explain that I'm not obsessed with the campaign... I'm just lazy about posting, so it just looks that way.
There are two solutions to the problem of perceived over-obamanation: 1) Create an entire post on the positive aspects of one republican pundit of my dad's choice in order to create balance. 2) Post more often.
I'll go with upping my post frequency since I'm tired and, as admitted above, lazy. Dad would probably choose someone like Ann Coulter anyway and, while I enjoy a challenge, I don't think my fragile soul could take it.

Things I'm enjoying at the moment.
1. Online Comics
2. New curtains in the studio
3. Today at work we're ordering biscuits for breakfast. ROCK!
4. New art in the mail from Ashleyg! Thank you!
5. Tiny Showcase
6. Rollie Fingers

Oh and happy Good Friday day!

You know what makes me happy? New birthday shoes!

Especially when those new birthday shoes are the owl print Keds from Eleanor Grosch! Do you own these yet? Why not!? They haven't left my feet since my mom presented them to me on Sunday night. They're like a second skin to me now (a second skin with a tough rubber sole so that I don't hurt my actual skin).
Of course new birthday shoes aren't the only things that make me happy, I'm not that shallow... but they are right up there on the list, between world peace and puppies.

"We are so thrilled to be collaborating with Eleanor. She has brilliantly blended her youthful, iconic designs with the Keds aesthetic and the end result is a very exciting and sophisticated debut collection. Eleanor's medium of poster art links music, graphics and culture in a powerful way. Keds recognized a great opportunity to connect to a young, music-savvy consumer with Eleanor's talent for design and her unique perspective into the world of indie rock. She was a natural choice," -Wendy Yang, Senior Vice President of Product, Keds.

Ah! You got me Keds! Sneaky devils!

Eleanor Grosch runs Pushmepullyou Design out of Philadelphia. This is her blog. Beauty.

(via inside a black apple) Visit Ashley (& Drew!) at kittygenius.com. Her pieces are gorgeous and I'm so glad to have discovered her work! I'll be keeping an eye on the etsy shop for more original work to be released (the last piece she posted was snatched up within minutes... I have such bad art buying luck).
