I haven’t seen the new movie Black Dahlia, but I’ve seen the poster all over town. It finally dawned on me why it looks so familiar.


Pre-pixelated clothes for Reality TV shows. Check out the post that started it all.

I'm a professional photographer who sometimes gets ideas for photos, designs, gadgets, and other projects. I write about it all on this blog. You can find the meaning behind the name “Ironic Sans” back in the very first post.

I noticed this last week at the video store when I walked past the TV box sets. I’m glad someone else noticed it too and I’m not crazy.
