Here’s a weird one - back in the middle of the night in August 2007, a guy began to spray-paint a congratulatory message to a newlywed couple on the side wall of a store. Two of his friends acted as lookouts. Two Philly cops allegedly jumped out of their squad car and chased the graffiti artist. When they caught […]

I don’t know what the hell has been wrong with me lately. I’ve been soooooo damn tired. This weekend I just want to sleep but I know that I won’t be able to…there’s too many things to do.

And his time in Ireland. “The awards primarily go to scholars and professionals who go abroad to pursue research and teach in academic and specialized fields. Thirty-seven Fulbright winners have also received Nobel Prizes……Although a Fulbright scholar typically must have a doctorate, Mr. Powers, an art school dropout, was granted an exception because of his […]

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.
I found an etsy seller who makes awesome Star Wars Amigurumi. Keep reading for more, plus other nerdy arts and crafts.

There’s a ton of graffiti by my office (I work in industrial north Williamsburg, Brooklyn), but this is the coolest piece I have seen. I did some googling and it turns out, there’s more!

Do all of you know about etsy.com? It’s a rad website where you can buy handmade stuff straight from the seller and not bother with auction madness. I hereby pledge to wade through the billions of wares sold on etsy to periodically bring you the best in nerdy arts and crafts. After the jump: cthulhu, […]

I’ve been neglecting FV for far too long, but the truth is that I got tired of trashing tattoos. Sure, it’s funny to laugh at awful tattoos, but after I was at it for a while, it started to get depressing. There were just so many of them.
So now I’m changing my game plan […]

I think that I love springtime more than any other time of the year. It’s not cold anymore but it’s not so hot that you want to die. This is probably going to be the first weekend where the weather is warm and the sky is sunny. Get out there and shake those winter blues […]

I think it’s supposed to be nice out all weekend long…is spring finaaaaaaally here? This weekend is packed - even Sunday is completely off the charts crazy.

There was a time when the Manayunk neighborhood in Philadelphia was actually tolerable. Main Street had a really sweet farmers market that was sort of like Reading Terminal West or something. Those days are long gone - the farmers market was knocked down to make room for bougie crap like Restoration Hardware which was in […]

My dear far too far away pal Lana has a new TV/Web show that’s coming out soon that i think you should know about. Lana is the head of music videos at The Directors Bureau(home of directors such as Roman and Sofia Copolla and Geoff McFetridge) and now she will be shooting her new […]

My boy Edro showed me these works of art this morning. One of his boys left ye olde Playmobil Pirates on the radiator and viola! now they are art. Interestingly, they feel more brittle now and would probably break if you dropped them. Feel free to click on the image for a larger version […]

I hate snow so much. It’s cold and miserable out.  I decided to keep it brief this weekend. I’ve only listed a few things. They are all well worth your time and money.

A while ago, a friend asked me if I’ve ever been to Gay Phil’s (sidenote: Gay Phil is allegedly 100% heterosexual) store. I hadn’t and my answer was probably something like “What are you talking about? He doesn’t own a store.” But, he does! And, some people liked the store so much that they […]

Yes! Our friend Pat tipped us about these cool scientist nerd Valentines and we’ve got to agree with him - nothing says “I love you” like Marie Curie. If you are silly enough to hate the french then you are gonna need some other options, right? How about…

A beautiful piece directed and animated by Boca and Ryan Uhrich.
Type Tastes Good.

Finally, we’re number one at something - and that something is the Number One American Sports Mascot as reported by Forbes.com

San Francisco fun vampires, you need to check out an art exhibit for us. Our Irak-y pal Tim Artz dropped us a line to let us know that he and the rest of the Dustward have an art show opening TONIGHT at San Francisco’s Hamburger Eyes Epicenter.

My associate employee contemporary Andy Rementer does a weekly comic for adbusters and a few other publications called Techno Tuesday. He also appeared in the book, Hand Job with me before i even knew him. I love weird comics and i love gadgets and nerd humor so this is right up my alley. I don’t […]

I’d like to apologize for the lack of awful tattoo postings lately. It’s not that I have run out of material (far from it), I just have been really busy. Today I want to show you some really bad pizza tattoos. I posted about this already in my old blog, but I have some new […]
