I love driving through little towns that still have town squares full of old oak trees and lined with shops and old buildings. I really dig it when these old building have fading, peeling painted ads on the outside walls. I like to stop and take pictures of them when I can, as small testament to the artists who used to do that type of advertising by hand. Check out the link for loads of galleries of fading ads from towns and cities all over the country.
From the looks of things Coke was advertising on just about any flat surface. Good to see some things haven’t changed.

Bradford Hansen-Smith creates these geometric sculptures without ANY cutting. More importantly, he has discovered a use for those crappy paper plates. If you have ever seen a Chinet commercial, you know those thin ones will have you wearing your baked beans and macaroni salad.

With their super-exaggerated features and rich colors, Sorren’s characters have such a creepy quality to them. There are quite a few things to look at on his site. Worth a look.

This is just a link to a page full of great pics of insects. If bugs were this big, they would rule the world and we would be their slaves. They would rule with an iron fist.
You have got to check out this online gallery of all the sound effects used in the old Bat-Man TV series. If you’re a fan of 60’s-70’s type styles, or a fan of the occasional onomatopoeia you will get a kick out of this.
Be warned, the site is in Spanish so I have no idea what it says, but if you click on the links at the top of the page you can track which sounds appeared in each episode as well as which sounds got used the most throughout the series. Kapow seems to be the most popular.
See the link below the pics for more.
