Thank you Lee. Thank you for posting this. It has brightened my day in so many ways. Who knew you could have so much fun with Spongebob?

four black tacks

posted June 3, 2004 #

Nice paintings (and photography) over at fourblacktacks. The style of some of the paintings reminds me Nick Butcher and/or Ryan Hale.. lots of good texturing combined with some intricate, occasionally sloppy-style, drawings.

garden state

posted June 3, 2004 #

The new trailer for Garden State has what a good trailer should have - a bit of plot, some witty dialogue, nice backing music, some insight into what the film is trying to do.. but not enough to give it all away. This is one of those films where I really want to try and stay as ignorant as possible so as not to spoil it.. kinda difficult with such good trailers.

Supersize Me

posted June 3, 2004 #

Went to see Supersize Me last night and really have nothing but great things to say about it. Morgan Spurlock, director / fast food connoisseur, is funny, intelligent, and obviously a little bit daring. The movie exposes alot of factoids about the dangers of fast food and on a broader scale - how America has became the fattest nation in the world.

It's that time of year again.. you know.. Mohawk Time. Thanks to Daniel for the photos.. and for the haircut.

Since I enjoy their graphic and shoe design, I suppose I should link to Macbeth Shoes. I can't hate on designs like the Lee but I'm definetly thrown by how much the company has aligned itself with a bunch of crappy "emo" bands.

fahrenheit 9/11

posted June 2, 2004 #

Despite the "controversy" with Disney, it appears that Michael Moores new film Fahrenheit 9/11 will be released to theatres on June 25th. Even if you hate the guy (or just think he's a bit maniacal) the film will likely make some interesting points worth considering. The "nation of fear" aspect from Bowling For Columbine is pretty dead on despite some indiscrepancies with the editing.

the mix

posted June 1, 2004 #

I uploaded a Mix for you all to download. Please make sure you save the files to your own hard-disk and don't just stream them off my server.. otherwise, yewknee.com will be gone quite quickly from exceeding bandwidth.

All of the files are encoded at 96kbps - which certainly isn't the highest quality for audiophiles but it should serve the purpose of getting a sample of a few bands quite well.

Enjoy the sounds and let me know of any suggestions you'd like to see added.

You may be tired of the style, but I'm diggin the works from Mainframe. The collabs are especially nice as well.

typorganism

posted June 1, 2004 #

I've seen many a "flash experiment" site in my time, but rarely do you see many that are properly focused and well done. Typorganism is one of the few, rare, good ones. Worth spending a few minutes with.. even if you just traverse the Description.

Hey beN, you haven't posted since April 19th - you still alive?

memorial day movie

posted June 1, 2004 #

I was fortunate enough to catch The Day After Tomorrow over the extended weekend - and I must say.. incredible. I mean, super hyper-global warming? Random Russian freighters? Hell hounds.. err.. Timberwolves.. err.. whatever those incredibly poorly rendered mammals were supposed to be. Jake Gyllenhaal as a 17-yr-old? Dennis Quaid as a dedicated paleoclimatologist ? No complaints.

weekend activities

posted May 28, 2004 #

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day and hopefully that means an extended weekend for ya. I'll be busy helping friends move from apartments to houses, from houses to other houses, painting bedrooms in preparation for said move, emptying bedrooms of various junk, and hopefully working some screenprinting in for some people. Oh, and I'm off to the The Secret Machines tonight at the Exit/In - why don't you come join me (that is, if you live within the middle TN area.. otherwise that'd be pretty ridiculous).

In summation, have a good one.

5hiver

posted May 28, 2004 #

New collection of drawings up over at Ninjacruise, entitled 5hiver. The 40 drawings display a wider range of styles of techniques than I'm used to and that's a good thing for sure.. old meets new.

frusciante

posted May 28, 2004 #

Even if you aren't really a fan, you kind of have to respect the sheer dense amount of output that John Frusciante has seen as of lately. Aside from the studio version of Shadows Collide With People, he's made acoustic versions of all the songs available.. as well as Demos for the songs.. an entire Internet exclusive album.. the Brown Bunny soundtrack.. and now he's just annoucned that he plans to have SIX more records out by the end of the year. His collaborations with Josh Klinghoffer have proved to be interesting, so it might be worth checking out. Now I just need to finish that review of Shadows.. for Silent Uproar.

Samorost is BACK

At one point, Kurt proclaimed that this was the best thing on the web. While I have a hard time disagreeing, it seems that designer Jakub Dvorsky has a knack for creating that style. The newest in his collection is an interactive game for the Polyphonic Spree entitled Quest for the Rest, in which you must guide 3 members of the Spree back to the rest of the group. The puzzles, the art direction, and the animation are all superbly done.. so good to see a designer consistently putting out entertaining and great work, no matter the client. Props to Hollywood Records for making it happen.

death from above

posted May 28, 2004 #

Their music may not do much for you, but Death From Above have had some great graphic design done for them. How can you hate on the dual elephant trunk heads? You can't.

Oh yea, they are signed to Vice but linked improperly from the site. Go figure.
