Snow's Revenge By Vinylville

'Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the baddest b*tch of them all?' ...If you were quick to answer Jasmine, close, but no cigar. Sweet Snow is taking the Disney bad girl lead and unleashing her inner gangster for all the land to see. No need to choose between naughty and nice this season... Let your two halves join hands and celebrate the incredibly delightful glow of the miggedy miggedy MAC apple. (That was a Kid Frost reference, for you youngins that didn't get it.) This super sweet vinyl decal can be used to spruce up any laptop, but is obviously meant to accentuate the best. (And I obviously am a biased Mac user. ;P) "Snow's Revenge" is available at the Vinylville shop for $15 bucks.

Smoking Mittens By Suck UK

Reason #14 I kind of wish I hadn't quit smoking (but did and am super benefitting from every single second of it). If you happen to light up, then you know the feeling... Fuuuu** it's so cold outside, but I reeeeally need a cigarette, but fuuuuuu**$#%#! Yeah. I've been there. Where, no matter how much you bundle up, you're ultimately gonna end up with frozen hands. Or completely disgusting need-to-throw-them-away-NOW gloves and a thrice fallen camel. NOT fun. And if nothing else, destroying your heart, lungs, skin, and all-around cleanliness should at LEAST be fun. Yeah? YEAH! Bitchin! Pick up a pair for yourself at SUCK UK for £20.00 (or about $30 bucks). Friendly Reminder from the kind folk at SUCK UK: Remember kids smoking is not big or clever and it WILL kill you, but if you want to die you may as well die with warm hands! ;D

USB Fingerprint Security Lock Flash Disk (8GB) By Chinavasion

Oh. Em. Geezy. Really? Do we really need to feed more into my paranoia? Really? Sigh. How incredibly God-sent is this flash drive? Oh, and by "God", I of course mean "Everybody knows you're hiding porn and nobody cares but if a false sense of security helps you look her in the eye...". ;D Sure, in theory, a fingerprint security flash drive is a wonderful innovation. Thus, making it a fun find. But... really? Really? -Trust, if what you're up to is actually legit and worth the ridiculousness of a fingerprint security anything then it would also be worth it for the intruder to cop your fingerprint (surprisingly doable) for unlocking purposes. Still need a blankie? Pick up your Fingerprint Security Lock Flash Disk from Chinavasion.com for just under $50 bucks. Rest easy, greazy. ;)

Happy Shopping!

December Inspiration

By Nichole Camarillo
(This post will be updated throughout month)

So, normally (as if there's such a thing with me), I tend to keep as much of my 'crazy'  hidden as possible. This also includes the ideas, words, and images that  feed into any such behavior or creations. But thanks to some wonderfully active readers of this blog, I have decided to start a new monthly post archiving what it is that gets my juices flowing. Apparently that's something you guys want to know. ;) Well here you have it, folks. A completely random collection of images that are currently serving as inspiration for my madness.

The Art of the Brick

By Nichole Camarillo

I'm sure everyone's had those moments where you're bored out of your mind, fed up to here, and contemplating dropping your job in true Half Baked fashion to follow your dreams. But not everyone's job is as dead end as our buddy Scarface there, and not everyone's dream is to...play with Legos? That's right. Lego artist, Nathan Sawaya, up and left his career as an attorney to pursue his Lego dreams full time. The result of such stupidity? Genius...

"The worst day in the art studio is still better than the best day in the law firm"

-Nathan Sawaya

[My personal favorite...]

Anyone that needs to see it to believe it can catch Nathan's work at Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum where it is currently on display. For more sculptures, shows, and tour dates please visit the artist's website.

You guys probably remember these from Release Four of July's One A Week project. Well, some incredibly smart person with impeccable taste over at Artsprojekt decided to add these ladies to their collection. So I thought I'd share their pics with you. [Click images to open large in new window]

Got the itch to pick some up for yourself? You can find them here in my shop for a sweet $60 bucks. This artwork is also available on a mini slip-on version and a lace-up version and, as always, is customizable. Enjoy.

One Day SALE - 60% OFF Art Prints

By Nichole Camarillo

Valid December 8, 2009 ONLY

Yeah, it's real. :) Today's Daily Deal in December was so HUGE, I felt an injustice being done by not giving it some breathing room. The print sales are always favored by you guys. And this one is BIG. This kind of discount (if we're lucky) maybe comes twice a year. Definitely worth it to head over and check out.

Choose any painting to be printed (28 different paintings available), choose any size (sizes run from 11"x 15" to 52"x 69"), and choose any media (from basic poster to gloss canvas). But whatever you choose, make sure you get in before it's too late. Enjoy! :)

Proceed to Prints...
