lego adverts

I don't know if these are actually adverts for lego. But lego is one of those things that when I pick up makes me feel inadequate. It's like, I did an arts degree, I should fucking own this lego. Instead I almost always just make a house or some crap, by which I mean I just about stick four blocks together and leave it at that.

So, lego pictures:
























Someone has basically taken a Taj Mahal lego set and built some kind of freaky space ship looking thing from it. Like I say, this may be for an ad campaign. More info, and extra pictures, here.

sick

I'm sick! I'm so sick! There is physical pain here and people must go through this every day but goddamnit anyway.

This has sort of lifted my spirits. Someone could say it is lame but who cares, right?

true story

Dave’s glasses are ripped right off his head, by the wind no fucking less, just as it pulls the air out of your mouth so when you’ve been chasing sheep for two minutes you just can’t catch your breath. You’ve been chasing sheep because five seconds ago you leapt into this bowl in the earth, where your friends were sat, Dave included, and machined gunned them with a Thompson gun made from air, then you saw the sheep and they thought you were just a thing, an alive thing, that wasn’t called Roland, and they had no idea you knew about pens, and the cinema, and you have no idea about them, except that they’re alive things and so you ran at them, being a shape, and they ran away.
Then, unable to catch your breath at the top of this cliff, you feel what it’s probably like to fly, because these winds are something else.

godzilla illustration

BOB sent me this and it is blindingly good stuff. A bunch of retro illustrations for Ultraman monsters. Ultraman was a sort of Japanese superhero TV show.
