Recently I've been plagued by insomnia...so doodling on scraps of random paper fills the hours. One day I hope to graduate to napkins ala Nina Levy

The June issue of Juxtapoz Magazine is a MUST HAVE, it features Beastie Boys: A Visual History + Tribute to MCA. They  interviewed the artists who collaborated with the BB on all of their album covers, from Polly Wog Stew to Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, inner-sleeve artists, photographers, and even feature some of the outtakes that went into every album cover. We find the inside stories of how each album came to fruition through the experiences and artwork of each artist that is now part of the Beastie Boys canon. The issue was curated and compiled by our contributing editor-at-large, Joey Garfield. More info and details on how to but it here

I posted a blog called Sticky Nips, Penbrellas and Hula Chairs and an astute Edgehead said "um you forgot one" and then sent us THIS.

 On behalf of all Americans, I apologize for this commercial.

A template for pranksters, artists, adventurers and anyone interested in rampant creativity, Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society is the history of the most influential underground cabal you’ve never heard of.

Rising from the ashes of the mysterious and legendary Suicide Club, the Cacophony Society, at its zenith, hosted chapters in over a dozen major cities, and influenced much of what was once called the underground. The Cacophony Society’s epic exploits radically changed the way people live and play in the world. The group inspired Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Cluband Burning Man and helped start pop culture trends including flash mobs, urban exploration, and culture jamming. A large-format, full-color, hardbound homage to this protean group, Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society is packed with original art, never before published photographs, original documents and incredulous news accounts.

On a related note there is a documentary about the society called Into The Zone

Terrible infomercials are my kryptonite. They are like B movies. The more absurd the premise, the dumber the presentation, the more awful the acting...THE BETTER. Who can forget Shake Weight which made the user look like they were in the throes of a maniacal handjob or Flowbee,the vacuum cleaner that cut your hair. PEN BRELLA....for those days when you absolutely positively must write letters in the rain?  *NOTE you can be dry OR write but not at the same time.

At one point there were breast enhancement hypnosis tapes that helped you get bigger boobs by....thinking big and STICKY NIPS, nipples you could stick to your own nipples so you looked cold or horny or wtf-ever. LOL

How on earth did I miss the Hawaii Chair with the innovative 200rpm hula motor? It is so ridiculous it can't help but be totally awesome.

Best use of this contraption was when Ellen surprised Rob Lowe with it

This is so adorable I think I coughed up a hairball. lol. I love the feline flavored poses like cuddle catasana, utcatasana, crescent purrior and purrior II
