Happy Birthday, Mr. Kubrick!!!!

You are missed more than ever Stanley. Your films get better and better with age. It's time to thread my print of Barry Lyndon up on my projector.

So true...

Watch yer fingers!!!!!

July 4th is rapidly approaching so I thought I'd show off some snazzy vintage firecracker labels. They're all favorites of mine but I REALLY like the blatant Camel cigarettes rip-off (with the "2 Inch Salutes" phrase on the label it sounds like a midget porn title), and the Shot Gun label with it's WILDLY out of perspective gun. Maybe the artist smoked one too many Camel firecrackers.
