Are you as sick and tired of looking at the likeness of He Who Will Not Be Named as you are of having to clean your dirty microwave oven?  I feel you. Recently, it fell to me to scrub exploded ham off of the interior of the office microwave (don’t get me started) and that was all kinds of not fun.

Win Win! Continue reading Eye On Design: Angry POTUS Microwave Cleaner →

Do you hate Donald Trump? I sure do. Dump (which is what I call him exclusively, with a rare exception being this blog post) sucks ass wildly, and he is destroying our country in ways few, if any, of us could have heretofore imagined possible.

Watch a video on Kevin’s practice at This Link to see him in action and get a better idea of what I am talking about, because he is truly amazing. Even better, Kevin cites Kris Kuksi (one of our favorites) as a major influence. Awesome.

I was out in the Chelsea Gallery District for a weekend afternoon Art Safari when I spotted this Giant Inflatable Rat in the likeness of Dump, parked adjacent to the High Line on West 26th Street. As you can see, the resemblance is uncanny! Continue reading Giant Inflatable Trump Rat in Chelsea Gallery District →

Actually, I am only guessing that this oversized Pink Plush Toy seen here atop a rather large Heap of Assorted Garbage is a Monkey, because it really cannot be identified for certain one way or the other. It might be an Pink Elephant or a large, discarded Pink Panther. Who can say?

These stickers from Trumpo Collective — featuring the likeness of Dump wrapped in bullet belts and wearing a sombrero — were seen all over various light posts, street signs, distribution boxes and other surfaces near Pier 94 over the weekend. No me gusta El Trumpo.
