A joy shared is a joy doubled.

• I’m redesigning the Hello Jupiter logo and have been searching around for vintage labels and printer’s ornaments as starting point. NOTCOT has a great story on History of Labels: Veuve Clicquot
• More on labels, I found this great page of Spook Shows filled with vintage poison labels via Nubby Twiglet

• Smoke is sexy, Smashing Magazine shows us some of the best Smoke Photography and Smoke Art
• I love the blog Agent Lover, it brings me incredible joy and the post Satan’s School For Girls made me crush on it’s writer Marie even more. She’s got the sinister school girl look down and shows us how to do it ourselves.
• This election and the way it’s going has seriously been bringing me down. But it’s always good to find something that makes you laugh at the situation. Why don’t you have some Fun With E-Cards and send your loved ones some much needed cheering up?
• Sorry to end on a crappy note but this post from Arkitip needs your undivided attention, atleast for ten minutes: 700 BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT

I’ve decided to stop sweating the small stuff, stop reading the news, try being nicer to everyone, draw everyday and just hope for the best. Ignorance is most definitely not bliss, but I just can’t take this constant  downpour of negativity anymore. Let’s start a love revolution.

Am I dreaming or is this reality?

• Last night was the Vice Presidential Debate. Let’s check in with Sarah Palin on her vlog and see how she felt about her performance
• Remember how we were all “poets” in our youth? Endlessly churning out notes to friends and lengthy letters of unrequited love all on college ruled paper. Note On Highschool brings your back.
• There are so many life lessons to be learned from Fight Club. How about Tyler Durden’s 8 Rules of Innovation?
• Popular Mechanics writes a list of 100 Skills Every Man Should Know. Although it’s geared towards men, these are pretty much life skills that everyone should know.
• Grafftorrents.com has tons of links to download graff magazines and movies. Gotta thanks john for that link. I’ll be wasting hours on that for sure

Enjoy your weekend. Lots of Love <3 GM
