So, a while back, I discovered a great website – HorribleLogos.com. (It is actually a great example of what I’ve expected the new trend in design to be – intentionally BAD design.) The premise of the site is you pay $5, and you get a really bad logo. Out of curiosity, I ordered a Weirdo […]
Unlike all the other cool “geek bloggers” out there, I don’t have a 30-day countdown to Halloween. Sorry folks 🙁 But I do have something cool, quirky and creepy for ya. (Click to enlarge) Do you recognize this guy? I’ll give you a hint. It’s where Shepard Fairey got the whole “OBEY” schtick. Still nothing? […]
I’m not a die hard fan of Kidrobot’s Dunnys. I like ’em well enough. I buy some here and there (hoping to get some good ones), but overall, I’d consider myself a casual collector. I’ve never paid collector’s prices for a Dunny, and I’ve never even considered buying a custom Dunny. But now things are […]
Weeks ago (April 12 to be exact), I made my way down to Athens, Georgia for the annual “mini-comic and zine explosion” known as Fluke.

The various Dunny Series are wildly diverse, visually interesting and even somewhat entertaining. The toyline consists of blind-packed (you have no idea what […]
Thanks to my buddy, Chris, I got word that FAO Schwarz wants you to make your own weirdo toys… straight from your children’s heads using the Make-My-Own-Monster Custom Design Kit. They’ve partnered with the North American Bear Co. to bring you some of the most primitively cool custom dolls you’ve ever seen. Here are a […]
Over the weekend, I made a road trip with some of my buddies to Bethesda, Maryland to partake in our annual adventure known as SPX. It’s the “Small Press Expo” and is typically filled with independent publishers, artists, writers, etc., but this year I came across something rather surprising. There was a guy selling toys. […]
