Olly Moss spotted in "Totally Lost"

I was watching Totally Lost (it's excellent), and noticed a poster from IBWL favorite Olly Moss. I was extremely impressed to see him represented in the offices at Entertainment Weekly. That's a feather in your cap, no question.

"Agora"

The trailer for this bored me stiff, but I was so captivated by this title card at the end. Since I have no idea what the plot of the film is, I don't know if this is appropriate... But it's fricken beautiful and totally epic.. And now I've been looking at NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day all day.

Space is so beautiful and fascinating.

Need to Want Less

Saw this popping up around FFFFound, which eventually brought me to the flickr page. There are tons of these things! Some profound, some just silly.

Scandinavian Logos

I agree with Nubby Twiglet, these logos from the 60s an 70s are totally swoon-worthy.

London Print

Oooh, wish I'd thought of this first. Let's hope these are available for purchase sometime soon.

Blanca Gomez
