Four Eyed Cat Portraits

These four eyed cat portraits by Casey Weldon were created for an exhibition in Las Vegas. She thought that painting four eyes would double the cuteness of the kittens but it slightly scares me.

The Walking Dead by Andrew Kolb

I have become obsessed with The Walking Dead, a show adapted from the comic book version. After watching numerous vampire shows (although i still love True Blood) this is a nice change from fangs. I can’t believe there is only going to be 6 episodes in this series but they have already commissioned the second series so thats good. Anyway, this is a nice poster created by Andrew Kolb. I’ve put the original one below as well because i love the art direction of this photo.

Puma After Hours Athlete @ The Deaf Institute

On the 30th November After Hours Athletes come to Manchester for another night of games, music and booze, hosted by the very hilarious House of Hot Breath. With revamped pub games such as Siamese twin pool, Table multiball football, Cardioke and The pizzaface challenge this should be a laugh. Also playing on the same night are Gold Teeth and Clique residents.

This is one sweet looking cruiser, built by Autum Leather Company. I love the nice fat tires and that double forked suspension on the front will make it a smooth ride.

Really nice bike by Loose Nuts Cycles. The whole off road fixie riding hasn’t really appealed to me but if i had this bike i would be well up for it.

What happens when you mix Star Wars with typography? You get some super cool looking posters that appeal to the sci-fi geeks and the typography geeks, and if you like both then your in for a treat. These were designed by H-57 Creative Station.
