Textile design utilizing silhouettes. Thought that was a meerschaum, but no, just a heavy pipe.

From YouTube: John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it).
The Necktie
by Jean-François Lévesque
A mixture of puppet and hand-drawn animation, The Necktie is the story of Valentin and his quest to find meaning in his life. Stuck in a dead-end job, he has forgotten all about the things that used to bring him joy. Years pass, and boredom replaces all his aspirations and hope for the future. It is only on his 40th birthday, when he rediscovers an old accordion hidden in the depths of his closet, that he regains his lust for life.

This is … awesome. If you know me at all you’ve heard a few rants against “too wide” streets. Here someone has done something about it, if only in Photoshop. The differences are striking!!!

I’m sure I’m missing the point — that I’m suppose to want to buy other people doing my crafts — but so what; folks, make your own. Grab the kiddies, trace some clipart, but you do it, ok? The current hipster/craft movement is great, love the cottage industry, but really, paying someone for 70’s macramé, bottle art, knitting, and yes, latch hooked rugs, c’mon.
