Feminazi Agent D Paper Doll

Apparently these paper dolls were from the “Doc Dare” and “Scion” comics once printed in Penthouse. They’re very well done—and I consider myself something of an expert on Feminazi paper dolls. (I believe this is the only one, making my expertise readily achievable.)
They are cartoons, obviously, but probably also NSFW.

If, by some act of reverse metempsychosis, we took all that was worthy in George Lucas’ imagination and injected it into Jules Verne, this might have resulted a century earlier: the steampunk lightsaber, hand-crafted here by a friend of “CaptainChewbacca” at the Stardestroyer.net forums.
I’ve never really been a gigantic Star Wars fan, but I must [...]

Izik Levy’s Robot Pendants

These blown-glass pendants are adorable and alive with color, but since they are robots and not flowers, they are suitable for all genders and creeds.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe they’re actually for sale, or if they are, it’s at the strange “traveling salon” that is Modern Objects of Beauty.

Update: Oh man, I just had [...]

The Art of Glen Angus

I recently stumbled on the art of Glen Angus and was struck by his talent, despite the fact that military pin-up posters aren’t the sort of thing for which I’m typically ga-ga. But the guy knew how to paint, for sure, and I passed the link on to friends.
I didn’t realize it at the time, [...]

History as Maps

I get a boner about maps just like I do about giant federal data set/Google Maps mashups. So it was a record two boners in three days when I found history/event maps over at HistoryShots. [historyshots.com]

Archaeologists have discovered this ivory carving of a wooly mammoth, which they have dated back some 35,000 years, crafted by the earliest “modern humans.”
The figure of the woolly mammoth is tiny, measuring just 3.7 cm long and weighing a mere 7.5 grams, and displays skilfully detailed carvings. It is unique in its slim form, pointed [...]

Self-Scarring with Gunpowder

Here’s one for the cringe file: a man getting a decorative scar by slicing a wound in his flesh, filling it with gunpowder, then igniting it. [Modblog.BMEZine]

Victoria Reynolds paints pictures of meat, such as the “Flight of the Reindeer” pictured above. She doesn’t limit her oil-on-panel works to just unprocessed flesh, but also has a few pieces showing what appears to be pimento loaf.
Does her art have any message? I have no clue, but it’s technically excellent and—in case you missed [...]

Am I the only New Yorker who has never been able to figure out why creepy uncle-cum-hipster icon/mainstream quasi-pornographer Terry Richardson is the slightest bit relevant? I’d say it was a generation gap thing, but the man is older than me, yet he is lionized by the 18-30 year old set and those who masturbate [...]

Cool business cards are highly advised, but many of the examples shown in this survey are of such odd shape that I can’t imagine anyone being able to carry around more than a few—nor anyone receiving one to do anything but pitch them in the trash. If it can’t fit into my wallet, I don’t [...]

Punch My Unicorn

Normally, I’m just not a fan of the novelty tee shirt. After 30 y.o. you really gotta leave that noise behind or risk being the asshole who never outgrew the follies of his youth, AKA the friend your buddies’ wives don’t want to let them play with. Which means, of course, you should buy this [...]

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
