makes ironing easy

found this old package recently. very cool type and you cannot go wrong with red and black. that could be your mother or maybe your uncle dressed up for a night out. love that TOPS type!

vinnie barbarino

a few years ago my buddy dave"schmingy" griffiths, mark lawrence and i were out in texas at the austin city limits festival. there were thousands and thousands of people there and damn if we didn't run into john travolta. i got a good shot of him. this picture makes me laugh everytime i see it. enjoy.

uno mas

my friends sal and andrea asked me to create a new logo for their southwestern cafe. i had some fun with this one so i thought i would share it with you. i swear i will get back to some old interesting advertising and such real soon. go visit uno mas, they're having live music on specific nights. adios.

new show

hey yall! some kickass music comin to town. out at my favorite new venue, awendaw green, is joel t.hamilton and a few others for a canned good drive for the low country food bank. just finished the poster. thought you guys might enjoy it. more to come...

cool stuff

hey people! i have been out of town recently so my updates to the shed have been few. i got a good one here. recently i have been searching for "scrambler" seat--from the old amusement ride, "the scrambler". so anyway, a friend of mine was able to turn me on to this auction company that specializes in those types of items. well because of my absence, i missed this amazing auction. dammit! the photos here are just a taste of the hundreds(and i mean hundreds) of items they had up for auction. amazing stuff!(for me anyway). if anyone out there knows of other auctions or places that sell this type of old amusement items, please contact me.
thanks. rock on.

YOU HE MAN

a while back my good friend, mark sloan, a connoisseur of all things weird, gave me this 60 year old brochure on creating a kickass body and becoming a he man. i have included the cover and a couple spreads. notice how crazy they are with the type and sentences cross gutters, font size changes--some paste up artist needed the adderall. you know, there aint much else i can say about this except, enjoy!

more fishing stuff

this package is classic--as in funny. first, the brand, Wonder Lures, in that lovely wedding script, just what tough fisherman are looking for. and the tagline, "designed to catch fish, not fisherman", what does that mean? marrying fish? marrying fishermen? who knows. anyway, as you can see this lure has won multiple awards. i didn't even know they had award shows for this type of stuff. i would love to tune in to a "the best fishing lure awards, hosted by Bruno". now that would be good tv. enjoy your day.
