Ok, so you are awful at taking pictures. Many people are, do not feel ashamed. But since your coolness aura may chip off by admitting the shoot button is not your friend, you need one of these: not a regular Lomo SuperSampler (already one of the coolest cameras on the planet) but one with a special customization done by graphic artist Dalek! The... [ Read the full article at CrownDozen.com ]

Swiss Army Knives scream of 'Dork!' so loud, nobody who is not in boy scout age should ever come close to them: only control freaks feel the need to keep a scissor (moderately useful), a knife (somewhat useful), a nail file (not working very well actually: pretty useless), a pair of very weak tweezers (useless, period) and a wide array...

This is the kind of stuff you hope to come across at Value Village or Goodwill, but of course never will... unless the Ocean Pacific shirts start crossbreeding with the hometown jerseys.. but if you're willing to spend $60 on a t-shirt then you're set. Most of us would rather spend $60 on drugs and get this shit for free. Wowch is... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Hide Your Arms is a blog about shirts on which I was asked to 'guest post' about my fave tees, the fruit of which when up today. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

MONSTER BRAINS is an amazing new blog I've been following lately in which the focus is on the more disturbing/strange art and artists that can be found on and around the web. Recent entries have covered the amazing Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada and the fantasticaly demented and perverse Japanese artist Toshio Saeki . [[ This is a content summary only.

Below is a YouTube video of Tim Burton's very first film, titled Vincent. The stop-motion animated 6-minute piece was made in 1982 and is even narrated by the late Vincent Price. Primo work. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

If you're an image-hound like me, then you'll completely freak out when you see BibliOdyssey. Then you'll freak out again when you realize that dude puts up new images and scans almost every day. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

I'm totally wanting to make a rat bike lately. Don't know what that is? Check out the Rat Bike Gallery to see a bunch of examples. Two words - Mad and Max. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Hot Chicks with Douchebags is exactly that, a blog with photos of (so-called) hot chicks with (no question about it) douchebags - with commentary. Funny for a minute or three. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

I love big empty parking garages and always have. The repetition, the sound, the lighting, the ceilings. And so does Branislav Kropilak apparently. PS - don't miss the other shots, his time-lapse landscapes are to die for. (nav is at the bottom) [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Best Week Ever fell off a while back, but it's back in all it's previous glory. Fame! Dirt! Trash! [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Maybe it's the pencil drawings of skulls, maybe it's just the name, but this show looks rad (opens May 5 in, sigh, Sweden): Skulls and Shit @ Galleri Loyal [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

I'm obsessed with portrait photos lately. Today I show you the shots of Andrzej Dragan, and not only is his work David Lynch approved, the site is off the chain as well. A wonderful experience. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

The pimped-out Cadillac of Ouija Boards, this beauty is not only mondo aesthetically pleasing, it's guaranteed to pack more mojo than that Parker Bros. piece you've got stashed in the closet collecting dust sandwiched between Candyland and Clue. Mike Mignola spices up the design of yore with some original artwork, and this deluxe... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

It's as though some primordial cthonic god looked straight through my skull and into the darkest recesses of my brain to determine what exactly I could ever possibly want in a cartoon: Jonny Quest-style pulp-action setting? Check. Ridiculously over-confident super-villians with a flair for dramatic costuming? Check. A hulking,... [[ This is a content summary only.

Our buddy Michael at Yewknee has been doing the Summer Mix Series for a couple years now, and this year we submitted our own mix to the, uh, mix. The idea is to make a compilation of tracks that you love, try and go with a theme, and keep it under 80 minutes so it can fit on a CD so everyone can bump it all summer long. The comps are submitted by... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

So, apparently Rob Zombie is resurrecting Michael Myers for a new 'Halloween' movie, to which we for one say 'hell yeah'. He first sought the approval of Mr. Carpenter himself on making the flick before dropping word of his plans on the internets. After a night of festering horror-geek webbitching, Zombie tucked and rolled on the initial backlash... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
