All You Need Is A Sharp Knife

August 23, 2010 | In Design, Thoughts

Develop a point of view. Think about what experiences you have that many others do not. Then, think of what experiences you have that almost everyone else has. Then, mix those two things and try to make someone cry or laugh or feel understood.

If you meet a person who cares about the same obscure things you do, hold on to them for dear life. Sympathy is medicine.

Look at all this crap I saved a hundred years ago in october or whenever they moved servers. Oh, and the logo is no longer chrome. Much Better.

As you can see I’m pretty into black and white photos, mini-buses, pen and ink drawings, op-art, pretty girls, and stupid jokes.

Don’t love this video, and I’m not sure I love the song either. But this type treatment is insane.
