Boom Boom Boom. Lease a new 2 bedroom.

The forseeable end to the housing boom is upon us so it's time to get rentin'. Let the Papyrus guide you:



Yeah and not sure if you noticed but:



I'll say!

Oh and speaking of Booms, boom your way back to 1990 with this little gem:

Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)

It's like an everlasting nightmare that makes you wanna dance (or hump).

So if yer looking for a web designer

Okay. So I sort of stumbled on this site (24caratdesign.com). I was looking for a good deal on gold plating for my teeth.



Of course, I was mesmerized by the mind blowing innovation. Seriously, this is where the master in "web master" is most appropriate. Masterful. But I didn't initially see any Papyrus. I knew it had to be there somewhere. A master of this magnitude would have to be "down with P". I mean, he's doubly certified.



Pow!



Ba'Dow!

Yeah so he was holding out. She was Packing Papyrus as the secret weapon in designing this guy:



See that's real mastery, and it takes a web master like that to show restraint. I mean, sure, if we all used Papyrus for all our font selections, we'd just be handing design awards out to ourselves all day. But at 24 Carat, they know how to strike a balance, and that despite the length of this paragraph, it's really not that funny.

Oh, and speaking of "Friends of P", I found a live version of it from a while ago when Damon Albarn was still van-worthy.



Still a good song...

I am a Rock. I am an-

Holy crap. Papyrus is on it and everything but... This can't be real.



Okay, now. Click that thar image, and you tell me. No way! Amy found it and sends this:

Pen Island....look closely at the URL

Found this site here...in the list of the WORST url choices...

Pretty funny list...

Amy

Definitely have a look at the link. Then one day, in the autumn of your life, you can spend the rest of your days in a beach house, on Penis Island.

Thanks Amy! Sumission?

It's A Healthy Font Hoot'nanny

At a health food store celebration, there were tons of mind-body concious free samples and a few instances of Papyrus. This particular won almost had it's thunder stolen by Curlz and a faux italic, bold Comic Sans!



Step off, lesser fonts! Fo' Papyrus has to lay the smack down!

A licky boom boom down

So Amy comes through once more with a nifty little blog with an eclectic collection of products on it.

Another one I found after she picked up my pink paperclip donation story....
http://news.rotemdesignstudio.com/wordpress/

Page down and read about the story..I'm donating $1 to cancer support for each pink paperclip I receive up to $1000. Then I hope to trade the 1000 paperclips for $10,000 for cancer support.

Well way to go! Thanks for sending and many more thanks for putting your efforts and hard-earned money toward such an admirable cause!

Something about the site title reminds me of:



So lame...

So That Show

I mentioned the show I saw across from Naio Gallery, at the Earl... Here's the opener:



and the headliner:



Rock on, mugs.

Naio Style

The Earl is a bar/restaurant/concert venue, and east Atlanta is a pretty slammin' part of town. I mean, once you get past the corner Rob N' Rape, there'll be a ton of cool little shops and bars and stuff. Across from it, is this little gallery, Naio. The art starts at the doorway:



Oh and here's the deets:



The website has it too and is actually not too bad. The art could be larger.

I saw the Sound Team and Cold War Kids at the Earl last week so I'll have a link to some new video so check back soon.

Sharing is Caring

For all you designers out there, I was hanging 10 online and ran across this comic:



Click to enlarge that mofo.

A Legendary Experience Calls for a Legendary Typeface

This might be against federal law, but Oscar sent me something that arrived in his mailbox.

This arrived in the mail, and I knew I had to send it along. I don't know what's more awe-inspring: the sculpture itself, or the magnificent embossed Papyrus headline.

-oscar

That is a tough call. Thanks Oscar. For anyone who missed it, Oscar recently sent in the ultimate submission.

Krikey! Papyrus

A new submitter:

I think this just might qualify.

Seth

"I'm going to stick ma' fingah in his bum. And that's really gonna piss him off!"

Thanks, Seth.

This Gem

Yeah. Savor it.

Another Healthy Font Choice

I work with the guy who made this. He said he can't take credit for the ultimate font selection.



Enter who?

A Kick to the Repeater

Technically, repeats don't make it onto the blog. and I usually limit repeat offenders to sharing only further excursions into their Papyrus co-dependency. But as far as I am concerned, rules are made up in every passing moment and it's been too long since we heard from Holly!

Hey Joe!

Hope you're doing well! Just spotted this and thought I'd send it along.

http://www.beadedthings.com/

Take care!

xox
Holly

I'll take one of those!

She also sent this, (sort of another repeat):



Nothing makes me want to refinance more than a poisonous tree-frog. I can just see the mortgage broker holding frogs up to hesitant potential customers, "you refinance that shanty of yours, or you'll get a mouthful of amphibious bubble-icious!" Ahh... Banking.

Toro: The Matador (hearts) Papyrus

The website is cool. The movie was pretty good (worth a rent). And guess who made a Cameo!?

Holy Greusome

Amy comes roarin' back:

After all this time off, can't believe I found 2 in one day.
I guess nothing brings you closer to god than papyrus...

Amy

See that dude's head? When it was attached to its body, that mouth on it said some shiz about dude there's font.

Thanks Amy. Severed heads for Jesus, everyone.

Miss You Much

Amy's back with a jawdropping pile of Papyrus.

I know you missed me...

But I just haven't been seeing the Pappy lately.
I'm back with a lovely example of Papyrus use...
http://www.bluehillbyhand.com/bluehill/base.asp?MainID=1&DispMod=1

Take Care...
Amy

As always, thank you Amy! Send yours in here!

A Future So Bright...

ya gotta wear shades.

Yeah this stand was there at the Big Lots. It's a great example of how to give cheap crap the allure of a quality brand name.



Yes, the simple elegence of Papyrus does amazing things for what can at most be described as "adequate."

Jacob's Farm (hearts) Papyrus

Whole Foods is as delicious as it is expensive and these guys caught the eye last Saturday. Mmmm... Is that basil I taste. You use basil in your margarita. Oh and mmm. Parsnips? Is that parsnips or... chervil maybe?



Dude... The website is a total hot-font gang-bang.

Let's just say, 'comic sans is a bottom'.

There is a Dog

and there's a car. And there's a tree, and there's a chancre. Oh and here's a link I saw off FARK this mornin'.



It's a listing of Religions, and what they believe and all kinds of stuff. It's interesting, but I didn't see anything for Papyrus worshippers.

Oscar and The Ultimate Submission

Holy ultimate crap. Again, I offer the most ultimate apologies for the delay. I took an ultimate teaching position at The Portfolio Center here in Atlanta (rad) and with all the other awesome, and ultimate stuff that's going on, it's been an ultimate challenge to post. It has not however, been tough to spot more of the ultimate font! Plenty of pictures will ultimately find their way onto this blog in the coming days.

But to make up for the absence, we have Oscar's submission. It more than makes up for what wasn't being posted. I mean, you could O.D. on all this Papyrus! Pace yerselves!

I forget where I saw the triple-punch banner ad - probably thestranger.com.

Tribal fitness is from an informercial where you lose weight and (theoretically) lift you spirits by doing excercise/dancing with bongo drums.

And I've been collecting window signs around my neighborhood in Seattle (except for the Happy Gringo).

The "wait to be seated" sign is from a sushi restaurant

Sorry about the massive file sizes - I'm too lazy to shrink anything down right now. If you don't mind terribly, I'll send another batch of them this way soon.

-oscar

Wow! Thanks so much, Oscar! It's nice to see Seattle is pimpin' out Papyrus like that! Send your submissions here.

Hollywood Fonts

Tom Goes to the Mayor sucks. It's got a ton of money and (ex) talented people behind it. No matter how many more famous jerks jump on- no matter how much money they bring, the show will continue to suck. What's worse, is I continue to watch it!

I mainly just want to keep tabs on how bad it's sucking.



Then there's Boys of Baraka If yer on the rent-worthy fence, rent it. It's a good movie. If you haven't heard of it, forget I mentioned it.



That's a documentary too. So, that Papyrus is as real as real will ever really realize.
