Photos From Diesel’s “Be Stupid” Ad Campaign

So lately, I’ve been scouring the web for some fashion-oriented inspiration for design comp work I’m doing. And in these travels, I stumbled across the Diesel “Be Stupid” ad campaign, which I’ll admit, caught my attention with brashness and cleverly designed imagery. Bold stuff.

Some Photos From Jay’s Photo Sesh in Dallas and Las Colinas

Out of nowhere, my homeboy Jay decides he wants to be a photographer. So last weekend he came down to Dallas to try his hand at some cityscapes.

Turns out, he’s pretty damn good.

Check out his flickr stream larger sizes, and more.

…for Empire Magazine‘s 20th birthday. I was unsure which pic to use as the post image until I found Arnie, whereupon I was overwhelmed with badassité, and lo, my hand was forced. A few notes:

the Kevin Spacey one is kinda clever
the fuck happened to Ben Stiller’s body
way too much cleavage hairy potter
my favorite: silence of the lambs (jodie foster: wow?)
matt damon’s photo is the embodiment of yawn

Can you name all the flicks depicted here? I had to cheat on a couple…

Ya’ll Remember Crystal’s Pizza?

Well I went there! Again! This weekend! For the first time in like fucking forever! The one I used to go to in Oklahoma closed down years ago.

Did you even know they were still in business? Well, kinda. The one here in Dallas is like the last one anywhere, I think.

Never heard of Crystal’s? It’s like, er, um, Chuck E Cheese’s…minus the animatronics…but all old-victorian-creepy styled on the inside. There’s a cool little theater that plays old cartoons on repeat, an arcade, and even a one-room library. Here’s the thing, though: while other places were full of screaming kids and flashing lights, Crystal’s always had a sort of old world, magical quality about it (with the lighting being really dark and atmospheric) that people loved. Parents could read a book or watch classic cartoons while their kids burned off their sugar highs on some skeeball.

But oh how things have changed.

Remember the moody ambiance? Yeah, gone. For some reason, they’ve now lit the place up like a tarmac, complete with retina burning floodlights and thousand watt fluorescents. Which, as you might imagine, doesn’t do great things for the dated and damaged interior. The place looked totally neglected, and it was kind of sad to see. So many great memories, and the management’s really let the place go to shit.

At least half the arcade games were either off or broken, or both. Most looked like the same games I played 15-20 years ago.

Did I mention the magic show? Cuz…

…fuck yeah we made it for the magic show. I’m pretty sure homeboy blew out my eardrums with his intro music, by the way. I mean, I understand you need to grab attention, Magician Christopher Lyle, but dude. Bleeding ear canals is not a trick worth paying for. Wow. OW.

Anyway, if you too remember the greatness that was Crystal’s Pizza, do yourself a favor and respect the memory of the place by ignoring its glowing zombie carcass off the side of 183. Just keep driving and enjoy the nostalgia.

A concept first seen at something awful went all hollywood on us and earned itself the full blown website treatment. Blow some time lulzing at some fucked up lookin’ cats right this very instant.
