We’re impressed with Dan Blank’s music video for the vintage dance troupe, The Satin Dollz, which was produced for less than $2000 and filmed on a Canon 7D DSLR. And with the ladies.

Meet Ciggy. He’s sad because he’s a carcinogen! McBitterson’s has more unlucky or morbid stuffed toys. Their strategy seems to be to make toys so sad you’ll want to buy and take care of them.

You don’t have to be an art critic to figure out Paul Mutant’s “This painting is not available in your country” (2010, acrylic on canvas). Maybe he should add “there’s always torrents though”.
