Women Who ROCK: Kawehi

By women who rock

I like women, but I LOVE women who know how to rock.

A good friend of mine, the great Geoff Larson, first introduced me to Kawehi while we were up late drinking beers and chatting about music. I instantly fell in love with this girl. Kawehi is mostly known for creating brilliant covers of popular rock songs using her looping skills. She arranges the songs, plays all the instruments, sings, dances, and fucking rocks — She can do it all!

Google Image Search Is The Best Tumblr

By I love the internet

My friend Travis has a very strong opinion about the images he accidentally discovers using Google image search for *legitimate purposes. He thinks that they are the best. He talks about it all the time. Every day Travis is all like, “Google image search this,” and, “Google image search that.” I don’t mind though, I’m a fan of the Google image search engine myself.

Regardless of whatever phrase Travis is searching for — dead baby haircuts, California ding dong kitten surprise, electric pizza tornado — he claims that there is always at least one image that makes him laugh.

Here is a behind the scenes look into the making of my latest master piece… Hot Dog?

I fully expect the image above to win me some kind of award in hot dog excellence, or a Nobel prize or something. Then I will be rich and famous and will be able to buy as many hot dogs as I want.

Making Hot Dog? was indeed a grueling process but this is how it was done. I will break it down for you by the elements used. Read More

My Shoes Hurt

By Artwork

Today I typed in the phrase my shoes hurt into Google image search. I was very unimpressed with what I saw. Mostly it was a bunch of stupid crap — pictures of dumb feet and shoes. Rather than do the typical American thing of complaining about situations and not do anything about it, I decided to actually do something about it.

Below you will see my contribution to the my shoes hurt Google image search problem, a problem that has been plaguing me all god damn day. My hope is that the next time you search for my shoes hurt via Google image search that you will see this beautiful creation.
