The Selvedge Yard has a really fun and informative article about Andre the Giant. Fun, because of the all the great photos, and informative because it shares some great anecdotes regarding Andre’s drinking habits.
“The big man loved two things: wrestling and booze—mostly booze—and his appetites were of mythic proportion.
First, consider the number 7,000. It’s an [...]
Found these old school tent trailers on craigslist the other day. I’m not going to post the link because I want to buy them one day
This next one would be insane as a display inside a store or as a kiosk!
A match made on earth, reflecting heaven. “JT Helms edited footage from La Ballon Rouge (The Red Balloon) to Grizzly Bear’s Two Weeks and it fits the tone perfectly.” Found at Boooooom

I was in Vegas the past 3 days for the National Hardware Show. Eh, eh, it was kinda boring - nothing new and exciting at the show. I got two canvas doctors’ bags from a company called Kakadu, but that’s about it.
Oh, and we did see something called the Cruizin Cooler – a motorized cooler [...]

Working on some models of modified geodesic domes for an upcoming project. This is a simplified version – planar pentagons. I can’t wait to build one of these full size!
Back in January, I helped out with a music video for Delta Spirit produced by my friends at The Hobosoul. I helped build the set and also coordinated some of the fight sequences. The video was modeled after the Godard film “Pierrot le Fou”. Oh, and I’m also in the video as well, let’s see [...]

Well, here goes, originally to be posted way back in December.
Yes, I am seriously posting about my new tool box. It is rad.
Just look at it… Heavy duty wheels, heavy duty handle, heavy duty [...]
Artist, Mark Ryden, releases his first vinyl toy, YHWH.
“A 3-D representation of “YHWH”, an amorphous pink blobby bunny mini god with multiple eyes taken from Ryden’s painting of the same name, the figure is just beginning to reach the home stretch after dealing with multiple production companies as well as Ryden’s eye for absolute perfection [...]
