Subway Etiquette

I post this for all those annoying subway riders- you know who you are.  This comes from artist Jay Shells.  I really wish these were real AND mandatory.  Jay said this about his posters:

“I surveyed 100 people on their top pet-peeves (not service related) while riding the Subway. I narrowed the results down to the top ten most occurring issues and rewrote them as a sort of list of rules. I designed posters in the style of the Service Changes posters we see everyday and silkscreened about 40 of each (400 total) and am currently putting them up on trains throughout the city, throughout this week. I encourage people to look out for them, and to take them before the MTA does.”

Here are two of my personal faves, for more check out his site above.

Ozzy is such a badass.

Ozzy spent an afternoon at the Wax Museum scaring the shit out of people. What a smart promotion for his new album:

which you can buy on 6/22 here.

Jet Blue, you are good.

Let’s be thankful we don’t live in Kentucky or some shit, because today Jet Blue is handing out free flight vouchers all over Manhattan. Remember when they did a month of unlimited flying for $599? I like where they’re going with this whole promotions thing.

It’s almost enough for me to forgive the assholes for charging $7 for a pillow/blanket. Almost.

Keep it up, JB.

Smarter Planet Icon Set

Last week I did some work for IBM‘s new “Smarter Planet” campaign, and came across their absolutely beautiful new icon set. Enjoy!

I’m gonna sext the shit out of you, James Lipton.

What’s better than the disembodied beard of James Lipton lecturing you on the internet? Sexting. But apparently James Lipton doesnt yet understand the beauty and nuance of this beautiful literary art-form, and has decided to inform teens that bearded people are against sexting. I may sue. SRSLY JL, stay away from my beard and my sexy texts with my 8th grade classmates.

2012 Olympics Logo

I saw on facebook that someone joined the group “the 2012 Olympics logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving head” so naturally I decided to look into it.

It totally does:

Shiny Suds

Method, the well designed, eco-friendly cleaning product line has just come out with a hilariously creepy viral that sheds light on the harsh chemicals in other cleaning products. The viral leads to a good cause by making it easy for you to sign a petition to pass the Household Product Labeling Act, which lets consumers know exactly what chemicals they’re scrubbing with. Similar to the giant toxin labels you now see on cigarette packs. Fantastic idea! (And conceived / art directed by my lovely roommate Amanda Clelland.)

Pass it on!
