Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was the ultimate coming-of-age movie for us Gen-Xers. It portrayed rebellion, soul-searching and fear of the future in a witty, charming and slapsticky package. And it even had Charlie Sheen winning way before Charlie Sheen was winning. If it came out today, instead of 1986, how would it fare against the sea of sensitive, coming-of-age, navel-gazing movies? This fantastic “new” trailer, recut by UK filmmaker Joseph Brett, makes me think it would do just fine. Here’s the YouTube link if you can’t see the video below. (Thanks Holiday Matinee!)
I saw this quote on an Instagram image from the lovely Maile Wilson. It spoke to me. So I designed it.
Clever, meaningful and stunning. This is exactly the kind of site I like to find when taking a work break at 1:00am. A weekly typographic interpretation of philosophical song lyrics. Perfectly sized for iPhone wallpapers, or you can buy one from the Etsy shop. What philosophical song lyric would you like to see on a poster? Click for bigger
I had to include the entire name in my post title up there because I cannot get it out of my head. And I’m not even much of a sweets person. Which is probably why I’m so excited about these — because I am very much of an avocado person. And also a chartreuse person. And also a cupcakes with not too much icing on them person. Also I love the word Buttercream. It’s on my desert island list of words. As if all that weren’t enough for me to tell you about these intriguing cupcakes, get this: the idea…
I love love love these camera lens coffee mugs from Photojojo. They’ve had the Canon lens for a while, but they just added my beloved Nikon to their offerings. It would make my morning coffee so much more interesting. (Thanks Darren Rowse.)
I love it. The Poke has re-imagined The Mr. Men series and created a new “book” based on the tv show Mad Men. Two retro tastes that taste great together. I hope they actually create the whole series! (Thanks kdiddy and MamaPop!)
I’m loving these notebook paper inspired t-shirts from E for Effort (a collaboration between cool Brooklyn artists Beka Goedde and Rachel Ostrow) and Artware Editions. Each one is hand silkscreened, although I’m afraid that once I had one, I’d been tempted to get a sharpie out and write a note to my BFF during study hall. On the other hand, that might not be a bad thing. Available for kids, grownups and even tiny kids. And, just in case your house isn’t already overrun by cool tote bags, there’s one of those too. Check them all out and get one here. Thanks…
So I was exploring the internets, looking for cool music tshirts for Zoe and Lucy, and this popped up: a Vampire Weekend earflap hat. So retro rad. Don’t you think I should get two? Me too! Meanwhile, I found a whole site full of great band merch! Check it ALL out.
Have you seen this yet? The super speedy popsicle maker called Zoku? Zoe and Lucy got one for their birthday and we are in LURVE with it. Seriously, you can make a batch of homemade fancy pops in less than 10 minutes. And because of the super fast freezy magic, they can even be well designed pops! Rad, right? So far we have made Strawberry Cherry, Raspberry Lemonade, and Chocolate Milk pops. On the horizon are Cucumber Chili, Avocado, and Watermelon Mint. What else should we make? What kind would you make?
