This is original art by Gilbert Hernandez. Just a stack ful of brilliant original art. Wow.
I can't believe this one. One of those beautiful pages from the book Palestine by Joe Sacco, painstakingly rendered, is thrown in a box. According to the writer of the blog by Joe Sacco himself. Send me a line Joe, if there's more art you want to get rid off!!!
Hunter has the right idea. I want a sticker like that on my Renault Laguna.
This looks so awesome. Like the only place in the world you'd want to be.
Just stole this of a a site. Guitar fetishists info.
This is the guitar to buy:
ELLIOTT SMITH
When it comes to musical equipment, prolific songwriter Elliott Smith doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles; he prefers to keep things fairly simple. His main acoustic guitar is a Yamaha, the model number of which escapes him. "It's a real standard-looking guitar," he says. (it is actually a YAMAHA FG-180)
"It's big and loud and made out of light wood. I don't use a pick when I play most of the time, and I chew my fingernails, so it's a good guitar for me because it's really loud." He recently expanded his collection with a Norman 12-string (La Si Do, 4240 Sere St., St. Laurent, PQ H4T 1A6, Canada; [514] 343-5560; sales@lasido.com).
Smith uses John Pearse medium-gauge, phosphor-bronze strings. "They seem to last longer," he explains. "I get mediums because I tune all the strings down a step. That happened by accident a couple of years ago. I didn't have my own guitar for quite awhile, and I'd play my girlfriend's guitar. I don't have perfect pitch and I didn't realize that it was way lower, so the E string was actually a D, the A string was a G, and so on. So, nowadays I just tune that way, and when I play older songs that were written in normal tuning, I put a capo on."
As
far as amplification is concerned, Smith sees no need for pricey,
complex equipment. "I go direct," he says. "I have one of those pickups
that fits in the soundhole, a Lawrence.

S. Thompson, the so-called 'gonzo journalist' known for his immoral
advocacy of drugs, wild uninhibited sex and gunplay, has used his dupes
in the amoral, secular humanist liberal Hollywood to blast his way to
heaven to fight God to the death. 
takes the form of a (fictional) oral history of Buster "Rant" Casey, in which an assortment of friends, enemies, admirers, detractors, and relations have their say on this evil character, who may or may not be the most efficient serial killer of our time.
Buster Caseywas every small kid born in a small town, searching for real thrills in a world of video games and action/adventure movies. The high school rebel who always wins (and a childhood murderer?), Rant Casey escapes from his hometown of Middleton for the big city and becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing, where on designated nights, the participants recognize each other by dressing their cars with tin-can tails, "Just Married" toothpaste graffiti, and other refuse, then look for designated markings in order to stalk and crash into each other. It's in this violent, late-night hunting game that Casey meets three friends. And after his spectacular death, these friends gather the testimony needed to build an oral history of his short life. Their collected anecdotes explore the charges that his saliva infected hundreds and caused a silent, urban plague of rabies....
Expecthilarity and horror, and blazing insight into the desperate and surreal contemporary human condition as only Chuck Palahniuk can deliver it. He's the postmillennial Jonathan Swift, the visionary to watch to learn what's —uh-oh—coming next. http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/books/rant/
In 2002, Jesse resurfaced on our radar again and re-optioned the script to give funding another go. But again, nothing seemed to come of it and the closest story we had to go off for any production future for Invisible Monsters was a UK based company that was interested in doing a live animated featured of the film.
Most recently, the word around the campfire is that the film is on the move again with rising star Jessica Biel being touted for the female lead, and such names as Val Kilmer and Bill Crudup being mentioned for male leading and supporting roles.
No confirmation if the person behind this latest effort on Invisible Monsters is indeed, still Jesse Peyronel. So until we hear more, catch up on the production’s history with the below links.

Zum ersten Mal in der bundesdeutschen Pressegeschichte spricht der Deutsche Presserat eine Rüge wegen Sexismus aus. Grund: Ein Titelfoto des Spiegel. Zur Schlagzeile ‚Kinder auf dem Sex-Markt – Die verkauften Lolitas’ zeigt das Foto eine 12-jährige nackt und in Prostituierten-Kluft. EMMA, Courage, Unsere kleine Zeitung und der Kinderschutzbund protestieren beim Presserat: „Was in einer pornografischen Publikation direkt angeboten würde, wird hier wie zum Hohn auch noch moralisch kaschiert.“ Der Presserat rügt.
