Remember these drawings from oh so long ago? They’ve been “lol”-isized. Good for a couple of laughs. Reload the site to see more.

I haven’t yet decided which of my skull pics I’m going to submit - too many to choose from!

Dark Roasted Blend presents a fun collection of photos and pulp art featuring women and robots:

I want a baby Dalek like the one the model is holding.

Ms. Waller crochets some truly crazy pieces. What level of genius thinks of crocheting a prosthetic arm?

we didn’t have cool Barbies like these:

I can just imagine what toys would be in the basement of the Barbie Dreamhouse:

Juicy!

I “heart” Dan Goodsell of Tick Tock Toys for posting an amazing archive of not only vintage cereal boxes but food packaging, gum card art, premiums and oodles of other wonderful retro bits and pieces from sillier, sweeter, goofier times. (1950s-1970s). You may also be interested in his artwork and his blog.

Last night we had a fun evening of running around the city.

We started off down in Dumbo at Jan Larsen Fine Art, (a.k.a., Gallerie at TheXpo) where our studio mate and blog partner in crime - Lj - has a series of lock paintings in the latest show.

Here are some pictures from the gallery:

We also went for a stroll and got some ice cream at the ice cream factory and looked at the pretty River Cafe and Brooklyn Bridge lights.

Then we hit the city for a late night screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Sunshine theater. We arrived early to get our tickets and then stopped into stopped at Katz Deli for a snack. I got the matzo ball soup, and managed to snap a picture of the sandwich/pickle delight of our neighbor. .

I feel a bit guilty using this guy’s renderings as an ironic source of humor because they really seem sincere.

But come on:

Went and saw street artist Abe Lincoln Jr’s show, Taqueria Pendejo, last night at the Orchard Street Art Gallery (sponsored by Kid Robot).

The gallery was packed, so after snagging our free toy and attempting to check out the art - we called a time-out and went to Tenement to eat. The food was delicious “home cooking meets fancy fare” but it took FOREVER to be served.

Our free Kid Robot toys eagerly wait, and wait, and wait for our meal.

Abe Lincoln’s goodies:
