Ever wanted to know what your local subway map would look like?
The designers at Transit Authority Figures might provide an answer. They did some great work in designing subway maps for small towns without public transportation. One interesting map detail is actually the wording: the station names are well chosen, with good local knowledge, not one of those “funny” naming schemas, and it almost makes you believe you’re viewing a real one.

Surely, there’s no accounting for taste, but is this really necessary?

I mean, seriously, who would paint a car that way?
Let’s take a guess:
- male – woman don’t put rear spoilers on their cars
- probably in his early 20ies – not very expensive car and affordable extras
- urge to call attention – well, just look at the color
- loved to play with Barbie in his childhood, there is possibly still an extra Barbie room in his apartment (man, some people really scare me!)
- to hide his Barbie-fetish he decided to decorate the interior car parts with Playboy bunnies, a masculine symbol, but still on pink background
- proud car owner anyway
Next time I’m around I’ll wait a while, maybe I can catch a glimpse of the driver. Would be interesting to see the person behind the Barbie car.
Summer is just around the corner and I decided to get some new tee-shirts. No trendy brands but therefore I’d like to see some nice motifs on them. Strangely enough such simple printed tee-shirts are hard to find in Vienna. Well, except those popular rock band T-Shirts, but I think one AC/DC T-shirt in my wardrobe is probably enough.
Last summer in S.F. I saw this hilarious Chuck Norris print and tried to find the T-Shirt somewhere online, but wasn’t very lucky. So I designed it by my own and started a “Don’t fuck with Chuck” collection, incl. a baby bib and a mug, right away. Due to copyright issues not available anylonger…
