Celebrate David Lynch during your lunch hour by feasting on one of his top 5 sandwiches, from a 2009 @Forbes interview with @RaquelLaneri. He goes into a lot of detail! forbes.com/2009/12/21/film-a…

Won tickets to see @pornoforpyros keep the dream of the ‘90s alive at Hammerstein Ballroom. Thank you @brooklynvegan!

Couldn’t resist giving this one a shot. Might have cheated a little by including Radiohead, DJ Shadow, & Unkle in separate entries, but 🤷🏻‍♂️. Also made a Spotify playlist here: open.spotify.com/playlist/7z…
Make a 20-track comp of your all-time fav tracks, each artist can only feature once. Not the 'best' songs, the ones that bring instant joy the second you hear the first note, the ones that give other people the best insight into what stirs your soul. Share when ready. #20tracks

Really bummed to hear about the closing of @MondoNews’ poster biz. From introducing me to so many illustrators to reducing the free wall space in my home exponentially, Mondo provided inspiration on many fronts. Looking forward to seeing what new endeavor the founders cook up…

I will forever be in awe at just how batshit insane executions of the most mundane subject matter (like a 'Don't Litter' campaign!) was allowed to be in the 90s. xitter.cf/ATRightMovies/status/1…

SO YOU MAKE A NEW LAYER ABOVE YOUR ART AND FILL IT WITH A WARM TONE, SET THAT TO MULTIPLY OPACITY 10% AND IT HARMONISES THE COLOURS. THEN YOU ADD A PERLIN NOISE LAYER AND SET THAT TO OVERLAY 5% OPACITY AND

In the pantheon of underrated music videos, @FaithNoMore's 'Last Cup of Sorrow' ranks pretty high. It's a spot-on 'VERTIGO' tribute, complete with Jennifer Jason Leigh and the best bite of a bagel ever in the medium. *chef's kiss* all the way through...youtube.com/watch?v=gjEbHBaf…

Absolute god-tier 1994 music playlist. All of the early ‘90s hip-hop & alternative I could ask for…

I like my fountain of youth black and freshly ground.
People who drank moderate amounts of coffee, 1.5 to 3.5 cups per day, were up to 30% less likely to die during a multiple year study period than those who didn’t drink coffee, new research found. nyti.ms/3NaUTcK

What a blissful time machine of a playlist this is. Conjures up so many memories of the hours of MTV I consumed as a kid. All it needs is some Liquid Television peppered in and we’ll be at 100%.
WHAT WAS ALT-ROCK? 1991-1996, an exploration of alt-rock as a genre, now also available as a YouTube playlist full of Alternative Nation/120 Minutes classics YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/4O… Apple: music.apple.com/us/playlist/…

Some good #parenting inspo for creative kids right here…
My daughter Veronica told me she wanted to make comics but was afraid to because she couldn’t draw as well as I can. I made this for her and she spent the morning making comics and I felt like a good dad! @PaulaNiedenthal @wcraghead @danrobertsvoice @Manruss

Sort of freaking out hearing @1000TimesYes describe his history of fandom for @primus. From being "radicalized" by "My Name Is Mud" to extolling the merits of learning about Primus' influences through Miscellaneous Debris, it's all so dead on. xitter.cf/yasisalek/status/15196…

OK, I’m stumped: I just finished reading ‘Charlie & the Chocolate Factory’ with my 6-year-old son, and he now wants to watch the movie. Which one should he see?

I definitely thought this was Watchmen-related when it first popped up in my feed.
Every day is a miracle when we get to perform this show for audiences here in New York City. Just 2 more performances. Let's do this.

My kids set up leprechaun traps this morning. No word yet on what they plan to do with them once they’re captured.

I'd like to see #DataVisualization celebrated as much as Brand Design or Editorial Design is.
