Dis­ney­land Tiki Room Entrance 1963, orig­i­nally uploaded by Miehana.

While trolling on flickr I found this glo­ri­ous pic­ture of one of my favorite attrac­tions at Dis­ney­land, the Tiki Room. The pic­ture is orig­i­nally taken when it opened in 1963 and I find it very inter­est­ing to see the attrac­tions facade with out the lush vegetation […]

Day 7 and still design­ing, though 2 days behind sched­ule in post­ing. Be that as it may, in honor of tonight’s pre­miere of Sur­vivor Heroes vs Vil­lains my design of the day is a lit­tle WPA inspired retro-esque poster in honor of one of my favorite play­ers, Stephe­nie LaGrossa. Star of two pre­vi­ous incar­na­tions of […]

For Day three I tried to imag­ine if the Na’vi in the film Avatar had given up their Ani­mism in favor of Judaism and were shak­ing their grog­gers at Purim. This was actu­ally cre­ated for the upcom­ing Purim Car­ni­val at Tem­ple De Hirsch Sinai, but I thought it would fit here, since it is something […]

Any­one who has an inter­est in adver­tis­ing, cul­ture or his­tory, should check out the amaz­ing col­lec­tion of tele­vi­sion adver­tis­ing archived by Duke Uni­ver­sity Library. The col­lec­tion is called AdViews: A Dig­i­tal Archive of Vin­tage Tele­vi­sion Com­mer­cials, and is well worth a look.
These fine Amer­i­can com­mer­cials date from the 1950’s through the 1980’s and con­tain (as the […]

I saw this strik­ing image from boing boing of what I con­sider a mod­ern totem or tiki statue. A group of Dutch artists carved a tree trunk into the shape of a full-sized stand-up arcade video game.
It’s an inter­est­ing work on a num­ber of lev­els, but this medium and style of video game is slowly going […]
