Beautiful Musician and Concert Posters

Post 1

I would love to have any of these posters hanging on my wall. The artist responsible, Jason Munn, has a spare, balanced style that is so effective without being ostentatious. I also enjoy his use of muted colors. I cannot support, however, buying posters for concerts which I did not attend but there are a [...]


Sorry, Wally the Wart

Harvey Mudd was ranked as one of the 20 Ugliest College Campuses in the United States. As soon as I opened the article, I was hoping to find Harvey Mudd there.

Halloween Links

Post 7

I wanted to serve up a few choice links today to celebrate Halloween and my return to normal blogging.
First, I have been a longtime admirer of Jason Santa Maria, designer extraordinaire and member of Happy Cog. He switches to a new, scary blog theme every October. He recently defeated Brian Taylor in a horror-themed match [...]
