Hanamushi


Hanamushi is the name of a japanese site containing lots of likeable and imaginative illustrations and strange flash stuff including an adventure game (Pocku's friend). Most of it looks like it's from a childrens book but there are some other stuff too.

(Didn't work for me in Firefox, had to open the site with IE)

Deutschland 1929 -- index of pictures

Art: Aubrey Beardsley

The english artist Aubrey Beardsley died in 1898 at the age of merely 25. Even though his life-span was cut short he managed to become both an influential artist as well as a controversial social figure. A short biography.

Artisticly he is mentioned as a part of and a great influence on the Art Nouveau (jugend) movement with conntections to the Pre-Rafaelites and the Aesthetic movement.


Lysistrata Defending the Acropolis

The influence on Beardsley from japanese and oriental art is clearly seen.

Beardsley works at Artspassion.

Dictionaraoke.org - The Singing Dictionary

Definition: This site features parodies of popular songs using karaoke-style backing music with vocals provided by audio pronunciation samples from online dictionaries.

It's pretty funny but it might drive you insane. Here are a few examples though:

ABBA's Waterloo
Metallica's Enter Sandman
Tom Jones' What's New Pussycat?

Design: The last Gauloises factory in France is closing

"They drink half as much red wine as they used to, barely anyone wears a beret, the bidet has been banished from their bathrooms ... and now they've stopped making Gauloises. Le pays, as the French do not say, is going to les chiens."


From The Guardian



A collection of
Gauloises packs from the cigarette pack collection site La saga cigarette. Which is your brand?

Illustration: Bob Peak


To be honest I don't like half of these works of Bob Peak. One can't love everything kitsch. However there are some great ones in there. For instance the movie posters for Apocalypse Now. They are marvellous. Have a look!

OK, check out the Portfolio in color as well. You'll find lots of more beautiful women and some hansome men too, I guess.

Or just brows the site Rato records on your own.
