2 posters that are as awesome as Al Pacino in Serpico

Ian Stevenson possesses one hell of a sense of humor. And his illustration skills are as sweet as Al Pacino’s mustache in Serpico. Here are my two favorites from his current offering. The top one is called “And Then You Die” (haha, awesome, right?!) and bottom is “Don’t Panic”. Pick ‘em up here.

If you don’t think this is funny then we shouldn’t be friends

Dan Deacon makes me laugh. Like really really laugh. He and Liam Lynch took audio from a guy recording his acid trip and animated it into this here bit of comedy genius. There are so many one-liners to be quoted but for now, I’ll just say lighthouses do rule and if you don’t like them, then you suck, treemeister.

A fun way to enjoy your vegetables without actually eating them.

Boring white porcelain bowls don’t give your Cap’n Crunch the respect it deserves, but a cantaloupe might. Dishes in the ‘reversed volumes’ project are modeled after real fruits and veggies, making each piece as unique as the crop behind it. I don’t have a dishwasher, so cleaning out floret imprints indicates a challenge, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Hoping mischer’traxler decides to make these vessels available to the public, because my kitchen cupboards are lacking the kind of personality this pseudo-produce could provide. [via sub-studio]

How to feel better about yourself: Read other people’s rejection letters

If you’re feeling a little down or you can’t have enough coffee table books, you should get your hands on Bill Shaprio’s book, Other People’s Rejection Letters! It’s a collection of rejection letters that are much more entertaining than the college rejection letters I received in the past. Check out the letter below addressed to a 12-year-old boy who tried to get into the Marine Corps! (via Uncrate)

A lamp inspired by Bill Cosby’s closet.

If comfy decor is your cup of tea, check out the Matt Lamp from German design team llot llov. It’s cozier than a Cosby sweater and the long loopy cord presents endless dangling opportunities. Sure it’s a handy bed reading light or tangled chandelier, but I’m certain this pendant lamp would illuminate your latest art installation quite nicely. If hot objects and wool seem like a dangerous pair, fret not, the silicone-covered, energy-saving bulb keeps you cool in more ways than one. Sayonara unsightly cords!
