Growing Up With Star Wars (3000th post repost)
15 Sep
This has to be the best collection of images ever, and a great piece of social history documentation. People submit images of themselves – from 1977-1985 – with Star Wars; this being a costume, a toy, their childhood drawings or even curtains. Here are some of the best. Hot tip is that the backgrounds are as interested as the photographs.
Illustrations of nightmares
29 JulWell these really are remarkable – a collection of frankly messed up 1970′s illustrations, for CHILDREN’s books, done by artist Gōjin Ishihara (via Pink Tentacle).
Original Pac Man designs
18 JulFound over at the Yo, What’s Kicking blog were some amazing original wireframes for the seminal arcade game – it just makes me want to know so much more….
Hippy Kitchens
13 JulThis is inexplicable – how did the Hippy Kitchen photoblog get to 45 pages long before I discovered it. Thanks to Nerdcore for pointing it out!
It also reminds me of one of my first every blog posts a year and a half ago – giant salad hands (and of the set for the video shoot I am on the moment).
BP’s Oil Strike Game
9 Jul
OMG I love this, in bad, what the fuck way!
A rare BP board game which chillingly warns of oil slicks with $1million clean up costs has come back to haunt them – one per cent of the amount now being spent EVERY DAY. The 1970s game ‘BP Offshore Oil Strike’ promises all the ”thrills of drilling” in the North Sea with the first person to make £120million dollars crowned the winner. But players are also warned of potential oil spills caused by rig damage in ‘hazard’ cards, which would cost ‘£1m dollars’ to clear up (via Nerdcore).
