My parents took McK and I out to lunch at the No Sweat for my birthday. Ah! It was great! I had to finish it all.

Lehel Kovács: Street View Travel Posters

Via Words and Eggs:

Lehel Kovács is a Hungary-based freelance illustrator, and his recent Google Street View series of sketches is deservedly catching lots of internet attention lately. Some of my favorites appear below, but I strongly encourage you all to visit his website, Flickr stream, and blog for more (and I am so grateful for just how much more there is!)

Mail Art Outbox: Captian Biology

IMG_3489

I’ve been sending more mail recently and this is a good example of what it’s been looking like. I follow a few mail artists scan blogs, including Frips and It’s Only Mail Art Friends, if I see someone I want to correspond with I’ll copy the scan (they’re hi-rez) and extract the return address to print on my own envelopes.

Growlers: NY Catches Up with MT

Todd Heisler/The New York Times

In a recent article the New York Times introduced a humble half gallon glass jug, called a growler, as The New Old Way to Tote Your Beer.

Here in Montana we’ve been drinking out of growlers for years so I got a short burst of early-adopter pride reading the article. It describes the current proliferation of bars and shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn that offer growler fills. They are quick to mention that growlers are “not just the toys of the bearded, flannel-shirt, beer-geek set.

That may be true, but I know that the BarBEERians love growlers the best.

Crane Love

My friend Andrew Kona started a new project online. He plans to fold an origami crane every day, take a photo of it in situ and post one photo a day.
