24 Pharmaceutical Ads from 1930s France 24 Pharmaceutical Ads from 1930s France Illustrator Jérôme Dubois recently began scanning and preserving the covers and contents of Ridendo, "a medical and humor magazine distributed to French physicians from 1933 to 1977." (Read more about it in a post of the covers.) Jérôme's collection centers on the 1930s, when this improbable-sounding magazine was full of ads for improbable-sounding drugs. (I don't know exactly what Serenol is, but I think I should be taking it.) Jérôme pointed out that two of the ads here are signed by Victor Vasarely, who would go on to fame for his Op-art paintings.
Emergency Bowtie Hey ladies this one’s for you. Do you have a boyfriend that forgets to get you flowers, never cleans up, and is too lazy to show you any affection?

Toda ciudad es imaginada y a San José le faltan asideros donde sostener los recuerdos, donde anclar el imaginario, le faltan ciudadanos para ser ciudad y le sobran leyes prohibitivas y gorilas con macana. San José es un alfabeto al que le faltan letras, y por eso se oye tan triste, monótona, desmemoriada. Es la literatura urbana lo único que permite que siga existiendo, el único vínculo de la memoria y la gente con esta mole de concreto y asfalto.

Artist Takes Every Drug Known to Man, Draws Self Portraits After Each Use This is all kinds of cool, and everything your mother told you not to do. Bryan Lewis Saunders is an artist from Washington D.C., not just any artist though. Saunders prefers to take a more unconventional approach to his artwork. Nicky Phelan, Director de la Bella Durmiente Granny O'Grimm de A curmudgeonly grandmother offers her view of a classic story in Brown Bag Films’ brilliant Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty. The talented animators at Dublin-based studio Brown Bag Films seem to have a soft spot for unreliable narrators. Back in 2001, under the direction of Cathal Gaffney, who co-founded the studio with Darragh O’Connell, they came up with a wonderful short about a schoolgirl who delivers her own version of the story of John the Baptist. Titled Give Up Yer Aul Sins, Gaffney’s short was nominated for an Oscar. This year, the new short by the studio, Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty, offers a twisted take on the classic fairy tale as seen through the eyes of a cranky grandma!
