Coffee Table Project Update
Measure twice, cut once. Or, measure once, cut once. This is what happens when I weld up a frame without measuring the wood slab first – “I think it’s about 20 inches wide” – wrong. Well, at least I have a base to work on another coffee table project…

Recent Acquisition
Heather and I picked up this little mid century beauty over the weekend. The cushions are kinda funky, but we could always change those out at any time. Other than that, the wood is in great shape, and it’s a super comfy lounger:

Art, Critique, Cody Cochrane, The Digital Age!

Surprisingly, over the weeks, I’ve received about 800 hits on that post, and a little conversation has emerged in the commentary of that post; including commentary from Cody Cochrane herself!

Outside of the other primary religious “logos”, the rest of the list is comprised mainly of corporate logos (coca cola, mcdonalds, nike, virgin, mickey mouse, etc…). It’s an interesting thing to think about, and icon of death is right up [...]
