Currencies. I know, I've blogged this before. But some things are just too good, so here's a repeat: This is a wonderful gallery of currencies, even Antarctica is listed. Go and have a look. 5:45:52 PM     |

HeHeHe ... The odd case of Heimatsicherheitshauptamt. I'm Top One at Google now. How exciting. The power of the web... yawn. 5:25:25 PM     |

Creepy. This must be the most scary doll I've ever seen. Phil, where do you find that stuff? This thingy is worse than Chucky! Ugh... 4:23:52 PM     |

Hic. When I don't draw stupid cartoons or maintain a stupid and obscure weblog, then I'm usually - no, not drunk, but - booked by an ad agency to work for them as an art director. Now here's the art director's dream: Every single Absolut Vodka ad on a website, accessible by topic, like Absolut Legends, Bottle focused ads, Heritage, and so on. Brilliant. Branding. Like the vodka. Clear. 3:34:40 PM     |

Radio, radio. Fab website about Radio Advertising Illustration Art. Fantastic: History, Designers, Artwork, Clubs ... 3:22:42 PM     |

TVOD. I know, this is a song by a chap who called himself The Normal, back in the good old days when everybody who dressed in black and wore safety pins was a good guy, but this is a really nice collection of vintage TV sets. Routed through NSA's wonderful Kosmonautentraum, which gets better every day. 3:14:01 PM     |

The black stuff. The Iron Gall Ink Corrosion website presents all about ... well, iron gall ink. Even old recipes. Make your own. And check out the ink corrosion horrorshow. Found via Robert's most fabulous and highly recommendable :::koewilog:::. 11:47:54 AM     |

Old Ads. As an Art Director I've actually worked for Colgate-Palmolive, desperately trying to make their soaps more shiny and their toothpaste more white. Here are some very old Colgate Ads. And there's even more old stuff at DRM'S Enterprises: Advertising Media, Political Articles, Pinups ... And guess what - I found it all via another obscure weblog - Serner's Random Items,which is just great. Fab. Sifry, carry on with your wonderful and silly research. The World surely needs this and is just waiting for your 'scientific research'. Have fun. 2:07:26 AM     |
