LA REVOLUTION SURREALISTE... melting clocks to melting faces. An ode to Andre Breton, a former Dada-ist who was instrumental in founding and directing the Surrealist movement in Europe.

Breton himself was interested in avant-garde art, anarchistic activism, hypnosis, free association, automatic writing and the outpourings of the mentally ill. With that in mind, the song of the day to go along with this is "Human Behavior" by Bjork (even moreso the video!) Not to suggest Bjork is mentally ill (!), I love her, and she is just the right amount of 'out there' (I was almost going to go with the Sugar Cubes as most of their music is rather, well, surreal... but let's go with Bjork!)

LA REVOLUTION SURREALISTE now available in the shop in 7 (count them, 7!) colors as well as long sleeve. And quite an interesting model for this one, a ye olde anarchistic activist.

SYNTH & SYNTHABILITY... Jane Austen's favorite lady rocker, this one knows her way around a harpsichord, except this harpsichord is totally tricked out (word has it she taught Brian Eno a thing or two...)

Song of the day to go along with this: "Vision One" by Royksopp. I think if our lady rocker were here today she would be playing (and singing) something like this. Excellent track from this Norwegian band's third album, "Junior".

SYNTH & SYNTHABILITY now available in the shop in 5 colors as well as long sleeve. And thanks to Sir Walter Raleigh for modeling this one (apparently he has a thing for the lady rockers...)

Logo number two:
Rispettare La Natura... Respect Nature... so sayeth the King Crow. Words to pay attention to. Oh but wait, global warming is just a myth isn't it? And the Gulf is all cleaned up and just fine (yes, BP, I'm looking at you.) Let's have a little more respect for this place we all occupy before it's too late.

Which brings me to the companion song of the day: "Burial" by Miike Snow. Ha! Not what we want to do to Mother Nature. Such a fantastic song though by an equally fantastic band. Their debut album has been out for over a year now, but it is still on heavy rotation with me, and this song definitely strikes a chord.

KING CROW now available in the shop in 7 different colors as well as a long sleeve version. And how cool to have Queen Elizabeth I modeling this one (a little stiff)... Ms. Antoinette yesterday, who will be in tomorrow's tee?!

I'm launching 10 new logos (along with a new layout in the Punk Masters shop), and I've decided to do a logo a day. Also, just for fun I'm accompanying each logo with a song of the day.... something that I was either inspired by while designing or feel it just fits with the design in some sort of way. But it's just a little flavor to add and a mini soundtrack for each tee.

Without further ado...... logo one, now available in the shop:

I call it VELVET BANANA..... pop goes the logo. It's no secret that I love Warhol (obvs)... I also like The Velvet Underground.... and I also like bananas. Winning combination of a rip off... er, tribute. Also, I have some interesting models helping out with the tees this go around, and I'm particularly honored to have Marie here back from the dead especially for this, still looks great!

Song of the day to go along with this: "Pop Life" by Prince (come on, The Velvet Underground would be a little too obvious.) Pop life, pop art, pop culture, pop music..... and this little gem from '85. From the moment this album (Around the World in a Day) came out I have loved, loved, loved this song and just feel it is fitting here.

Enjoy... 9 more to go!
