He is The Definition of a Poet Who Didn't Know It.



I'm just baffled at the sheer coincidental awesomeness, it makes you really wonder what those infinite typewriter wielding monkeys could bang out.

Lets Strap On Our Jet Powered Rocket Pants, and Junior Birdman the Hell Out of Here.

and because it was still on the camera when she lent it to me for the last set:

Annie (Currently rocketing around Vienna and parts unknown) and her self-designed and created, working jetpack. The red button by her hand starts the engines.

These are preliminary photos of my latest project, not really offical documentation.

Shorter, but Somehow Just Not Short Enough.

Ben Showed me this:

"For the Pleasure of Your Contempt"

Urban Deer

Deer House

The Definition of the hip West coast art scene, Elizabeth McGrath, makes terribly interesting art, drawing heavily from taxidermy, (I think its all faux-taxidermy) In her own words she describes her work as, isolated freakshows luxuriously dressed.

Miniture Sculptures Aren't Compensating


Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz
Meanwhile Further South, 2007

This is a pair of artists making really amzing sculptures all of a really tiny scale, i only discovered them today, but i'm already jealous that they thought of a bunch of great uses for those little model train people before i could think of one. Plus we totally used the same model trees, from one of their other pieces (sans Foliage) and the project i'm working on. If your at all interest in this sort of art i highly recomend looking at the rest of their galleries, there is too much good work for me to post it all here.

Sushi Westerns?

I like things taken out of context, I've recently been listening to Swedish Country music (imagine every instance of Memphis replaced with Stockholm) I can't wait to see this:

Sukiyaki Western Django


I mean seriously, It just looks awesome without any possible historical justification, they even got Quentin Tarantino.

Contest: Name My Imaginary Ride.

I'm looking for any good suggestions for a name for My Spaceship is Made of Pixels. It would help if its something catchy, but i'm gonna leave this open to your collective imaginations.

Your Furniture Sucks


The Vacuum Bag Furniture gives a real and surprising value to dust. The chair-shaped refuse bags can be connected to vacuum cleaners. Once filled with dust, they provide comfortable seating

The Karmans are Coming For Your Women Folk!


this is a bit of an enigma even the Ebay poster doesn't know what it's from, but still, gorrila suit plus weirdness from a long while back.


Karmens = High Tech Space Apes from the french table top game AT-43, and theyre also my favorites.

My Spaceship is Made of Pixels

I spent the better part of the last couple of days teaching myself pixel art,

Here's the outcome, now to be fair it's heavily modified after a preexisting design but i did rework the cockpit, engines, compartments, sensors, and the overall exterior hull. It was alot of work, especially with the shading which only makes me respect the guy who created the original shematic that much more.

Je Ne Te Reconnais Pas


Tais-toi mon coeur - Dionysos
by Dionysos

I found this a long while back and just thought i'd share it with those who hadn't seen it, very steampunk, and french to boot.

If You Ever Wanted Your Own Hobbit Hole


This is a low-impact enviromentally friendly home hand built by a family in england for roughly £3000. they even posted plans, and sort of how-tos here, in case you wanted build your own.

the interior is just as awesome:

After a Hard Day of Blogging...

... i have to remember to stretch, take a short break, maybe drink something, and have a snack.

Otherwise i might have over exerted myself with this blog post.

I Wonder How Long She Could Sit Still and Not Get Noticed


British Artist Riitta Ikonen

...Tried to Endow Purpose Upon a Cloud of Molecules with Ruinous Result

This a neat piece, but it's the quote by the artist that really sells it.

Matthew Kozak made a fractal scene of a self-replicating robot. “Several years ago, I built a robot whose sole purpose in life was to create an even smaller robot just like himself… So much like himself, that this robot endeavored to create yet another tiny robot, ad infinitum. This continued for a while until an extremely tiny speck of robot tried to endow purpose upon a cloud of molecules with ruinous result.”

Is He Wrong?

Here's a quote i found from Banksy on PicoCool:

I Hope They Have a Rewind Pedal Hidden Somewhere Too.

For all my friends with a penchant for speeding,
