Julia has a new video out— a music video for the band called Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, and now the upbeat song is singed onto the back of my head. Flippin awesome!

Blanket magazine

In case you haven’t heard about Blanket, it’s a free PDF art + design + photography magazine that is released bi-monthly, and usually the cover art makes me skip right over. This time it’s a Travel issue, so I’m game for that — especially when all I’m going to be doing for awhile is more of the armchair kind.

Have you read the new issue of Design For Mankind’s mag yet?

There’s a giveaway happening over at Gumball Grenade’s blog. Here’s a tip — it’s going to make a great wall piece if you have an ankle-biter. 😉

And talk about more pieces of non-dead animal fixtures to add on to your walls! Thanks Curlin!
