Morning Linkage (Jul 16)

Trans­porta­tion

Built as a cus­tom in 1936 this Hen­der­son is Art-Deco in all it’s black, shiny, curvy, swoop­ing glory. Just don’t look at the last shot of the bike being rid­den — it’s actu­ally an ungainly midget. Le sigh.

For the junior set or aspir­ing moto design­ers and col­orists. The Ducati col­or­ing book. Print and scribble.

Nice bike. Wicked graph­ics. Match­ing hel­met. Royal Enfield.

1938 OEC Com­man­der. Today’s looker.

Tools

These lit­tle handy things come up every Christ­mas in the Lee Val­ley tools cat­a­log. A bet­ter pocket screw­driver. No more hop­ing that the dime fits in the slot or that a quar­ter will give you enough grip­ping power for that stub­born bolt.

Food and Design

The idea of a gourmet scoop­ing ketchup is, well, so damned foodie. And the pack­ag­ing plays just the right note.

It’s fresh fruit and veg­etable time. Most pro­duce now arrives at the gro­cery store in anony­mous, waxed card­board crates, but that wasn’t always so. Ani­malar­ium gives us a help­ing of the clever­est ani­mal themed labels. Tons more.

Art, Images, and Design

More from Yuko. The illus­tra­tions from The Beau­ti­ful and the Grotesque are enough to make you buy the book. The jacket back blurb will clinch the deal.

Not sure who or what just yet, but this is fab abstract street art from Italy.

Any­where but here (Houston.)

New images for Edward Gorey’s Ghastly Crumb Tinies and a cou­ple of new tinies. (One of these is NSFW if you squint real hard.)

Total Weird­ness (and hotness)

Some­how you all seemed to have missed the “hot viral awe­some­ness” of the Old Spice Cam­paign; maybe that’s for the best. That’s okay, I watched a bunch for you. And so did the lovely dudes and dudettes at TwoWheels. The opener (with the bike at the end)  and a cou­ple of the bike based call and response replies. Oh, yes I do want to be someone’s  sen­sual bike friend of romance.
