many people have heard of the artist named invader. started in the 90s gluing space invader tile mosaics in paris. i came across these photos of some of the invaders ive spotted. first one was in LA in 2000. i still think that invader is amazing for obvious reasons… im sure you dont need me to spell them out for you. resistance is fu-tile.

kenneth howard hates you

maimtoplease — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:39:51 +0000

von dutch was a man…not a clothing line or brand of kustom cycles. anyone who cares (or doesnt) knows this already and im sure many people have written about how much they hate von dutch clothing etc, but im writing anyway because i saw a woman wearing a von dutch tee earlier today and it just irritated me a bit. kenneth howard was somewhat of a hero in our household and to see his name plastered on shitty clothes and crappy motorcyles is almost blasphemy.

von dutch would roll over in his effing grave if he saw what his sisters did to him when they sold his name to a clothing company. he hated money and made just enough of it to live and fund his craft. he was a pinstriper, gunsmith, knife maker and artist. he was one of the truly cool men… he started pinstriping when it was just a technique for covering scratches, he invented graphic tees (airbrush art on clothes), and the guns and knives he made were simply beautiful. he lived in a bus and made art till he died in 92.

etienne jules-marey

its difficult to post something like this without looking completely ignorant. im not trying to “school” anyone on the life and accomplishments of etienne jules-marey. i just think its incredible that one man could be so influential in early cardiology, anatomy, physiology, locomotion, cinematography and aviation.

i first learned about etienne jules-marey when studying photography years ago. i find it facinating that his research could influence so many seemingly un-related areas of study.

you can find a lot of information about him online… just google him.
