Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison
Can’t find too much bio info on their site but Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison do create some beautifully surrealistic photography. Really great stuff without being overly creepy.
The Book Cover Archive
Lots of inspiration to be found over at The Book Cover Archive. Looks pretty new with only about 800 covers at the time of this writing. It actually should be called the MODERN Book Cover Archive as there are no books before 1981. Hardly an archive but still pretty good.
Over 40 – December 2008
OMG!!! A whole year of this ‘Over 40’ thang. And now I am 41! Amazing. That was a bunch of fun I must say.
So…lets seee…what happened in December? Well, Christmas/My B-Day was pretty mellow. Did yard work and such. Three trips to the dump even. Got a bit of snow. Went to Arcata for New Years which was really wonderful. (I really miss my friends down there, I really do.) I started a beard thang. Yikes! I worked. I started watching 1) Deadwood, 2) The Wire, 3) Monk, 4) and Mad Men. All very good especially Deadwood and the Wire. I have no TV but DVDs are all I need.
Happy 2009 everyone! I’ll keep shooting if you will keep start commenting!
Vehicle paintings by Kevin Cyr
I love these paintings from Brooklyn based artist Kevin Cyr. One was up on 20X200 a while ago but I missed my chance at the cheap one. Durn it!

Map Quilts by Leah Evans
It’s a quilt. It’s a map. It’s a map-quilt. It is awesome. It is by Leah Evans and she has a bunch more, too.

Coraline
Oooooh! This looks quite good. Quite the flashy website, too, that has a bunch of hidden stuff worth rooting around for. If you got some time, go poke around.
It is directed by Neil Gaiman who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. I will be seeing this in the theater fo’ sho’.
The creators also are behind a pretty bitchin’ viral marketing campaign. They made and sent out fifty individual customized boxes filled with things from the movie and sent them to various blogs. Here are some links to a some of the lucky bloggers and their respective posts about receiving their treasure:
emmyymme, tomopop, Darkmatters, Toycutter, Kissthelibrarian, fashion-pirahna, stainlesssteeldroppings
Pretty cool viral marketing if you ask me.
Big Plastic Head (With a Side of Bacon)
