once upon a time.

there was a man named ed hardy. he started off as a tattoo artist in california in the 60s, and was a protege of sailor jerry. hardy's career has spanned over 50 years and includes works like these:

but low and behold, along comes the 21st century, and ed hardy has the brilliant idea to sell his "name" to none other than christian audigier, the asshole who was responsible for the last onslaught of trendy douchebag gear, von dutch. (remember when every unoriginal toolbox was wearing those stupid trucker hats?) yeah, that guy. so what does he do? he takes the name of a classic american artist, and makes it synonymous with fake-tanning, eyebrow-waxing, fist-pumping scumbags like these dudes:

congratulations christian audigier, you fucking french fuck. now ed hardy's name will forever be remembered as extra small t-shirts on low-IQ meatheads at the jersey shore. go jerk off with sandpaper you fucking dick.

standoff.

seriously i don't even get how people type like that. it's infinitely more of a pain in the ass to keep capitalizing random letters and purposely mispelling words than to just type them out like a normal, english-speaking person who has undoubtedly went through some kind of school system. fucking morons. anyways, this weekend i did not go down the shore. honestly, if i never see the jersey shore ever again i really wouldn't give a fuck. i hate guidos and south jersey. i stayed up here and partied hard with some true killers in the game and i tried to take as many annoying close-up photos as possible, but i didnt get nearly enough.















































although i did drink an entire bottle of jack daniels in two hours on saturday, my entire weekend wasn't a total drunken mess. i managed to get a bunch of work done on the GDP album layout and i also banged out this flyer for the boys at 660 grand. simple and to the point. if you are in the jersey city area this saturday, stop down and check out the artwork with an afterparty to follow.



i came across this website today. yves marchand and romain meffre are a couple of french photographers who take flicks of ruins and decaying shit. they have a set from germany, a set from detroit and a set of abandoned movie theaters right here in the US, even a couple from newark and paterson. here's a few:

theaters:






germany:






detroit:







they also have a blog and yves marchand also has a website with some of his other works. couldn't find too much else on romain meffre.


i also found this amazing piece of genius, which involves the ultimate fuck you to twitter and all the fucking toolbags who really believe that people give a fuck what they are doing every fucking second of the day. get the fuck over yourself. these dudes hooked up a device to their toilet, which posts a twit(?) every time they flush the toilet. fucking amazing:


check out the whole experiment here.
