WOKE UP TO VINTAGE AWESOMENESS

The internet is a mind blowing place. And sometimes all you need is a great twitter feed to blow your mind to pieces. These ads were produced sometime between 1840-1875 and preserved by the Library of Congress. Epic design work. Can only imagine the amount of time these took to create. Their awesomeness sure endures. Via: Lookbothways by way of PublicSchool

GIRL TALK: FEED THE SAMPLES

To create Feed The Animals, Girl Talk (Gregg Michael Gillis) pieced together samples from hundreds of songs. Enter Edd Hannay. Using some crazy programs, Hannay has sequenced together every sample from each track in the order they appear. When you play the album on the site, the sidebar to the right begins populating as each sample from Animals enters that particular track. Hella Awesome.

DEFINE DAMIEN HIRST

Damien Hirst is the art world's renaissance man. In his years, he has brought us some of the most irreverent modern art. From the shark to the dots to the diamond encrusted skull, the man finds art in the most surreal of places. And this year, he's stepping back and bringing his art to a whole different level. One that defines the greatness and simplicity art can achieve. Would this be appealing if it was from some nobody? Perhaps, but unlikely. Either way, it makes a nice autograph. And hell, it's free. Well done, Mr. Hirst. To the 365 lucky souls who will be the recipients of his daily art project, cheers.
