Cos-play

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

A few days ago, Dr. Bill “the Coz” Cosby turned 72 years old.
Bill brought us Jell-O pudding pops, Fat Albert, Cosby sweaters, and a higher standard of fatherhood across the nation.

Did any of us get him anything for his birthday or did we all just sign the card?

Andrew Salomone made a portrait of Bill Cosby out of Jell-O shots.


My birthday present to Bill Cosby:
Bill, I officially forgive you for making “Leonard Part 6.”

Pornigami

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I recently saw Ethan Shoshan’s “Porn Star” pornographic origami exhibit on Notcot. I was impressed with the concept, but disappointed with the execution: Shoshan just made origami stars and the photo subjects were only men.
Eh.

I decided to improve on his concept and made pornigami this afternoon.
