The Burlesquers
With Tease-O-Rama starting today in San Francisco, I thought I’d post some of my favorite images from the Theatrical Poster Collection at the Library of Congress.

I can think of at least 4 friends who need this flask.
You can get one these stainless steel beauties at the Neatorama Shop for $19.95.
New art project
I’m teaching myself to pinstripe. A lot more practice is needed, but not to bad for a first shot at an improvised design. I made lots of mistakes; rushing a pull, adding to much reducer to my paint, not getting comfortable, and just generally being impatient.
Time to work on my zen and get back to the repetitive line practice.
Batman: False Start
The end of this video made the wife and I laugh out loud. It’s an excellent bit of comedic timing.
I’m Batman
I had completely forgotten about this ad, but I remember being very fond of randomly asking my friends “Do you want to ride with Batman? Would that please you?”

James Coburn
While sorting through a lot of slides and film I bought a while ago, I see a familiar slump through my viewer. I can’t be positive about the ID, so I immediately slapped it on the scanner and blow it up. Sure enough, it’s James Coburn.
The date on the slide is “Aug 58″ so after checking his IMDB page, I’m guessing that this photo is from the set of “Ride Lonesome”. That would be his first feature film. It’s either that, or it’s from the 47th episode of “Wagon Train” titled “The Millie Davis Story”.
