Sexy mug

Create a Travel mug on zazzle

Every time you take a sip from this mug this voluptuous comic book beauty will be watching you. Not a bad deal, especially considering that she is made only of black lines on a black and red background. What perplexes me -and makes it more interesting- is that the artist (the talented Jean Zapata) named it vanitas, which is an artistic shorthand for the meaninglessness of earthly life and vanity.
So, what we have here is a killer brunette as a symbol of the certainty of death... Not a bad combination of elements, don't you think?

Bottle of Sin

The latest addition to my own Temporal Disorder product category comes in a bottle. It's a small glass bottle (the kind used for china ink) containing pure, undiluted sin!
When it comes to being bad, Surreality's Bottle of Sin is the brew of choice.
I consider this a surprising mixture of retro imagery and mischievous ingenuity. You really should own one. It's the world's finest, after all!

Retrofuture is now


When it comes to retro-futurism (the depiction of the future the way they saw it back in the '20s to '60s), Retropolis Travel Bureau is the definitive place to visit. Look at this fine mug: looks like we are caught in one of our granddad's loved science fiction movies. I really like the way the warm background compliments the blue-grey image. The attention to detail and the execution is superb!
In Retropolis T.B. there are numerous well-designed (and tastefully humorous!) designs. Some of the best are offered on business cards, like the one below:

They are fully -and easily- customizable, so you can add your own information and establish your status as an Airship Captain (my favorite!), Experimental Cosmologist or whatever suits your taste. For me, your surreality watchman, rockets is the way to go!
The artist, Bradley W. Schenck, has a wonderfull site, both interesting and beautiful. You wouldn't want to miss it!
