If there’s one thing I love as much as horror movies, it is an awesome t-shirt. So when those two loves align, I bring out the credit card and make a purchase without hesitation.
Needless to say, this Leatherface t-shirt triggered my nerd lust. I had to buy two copies, one for me and one for a friend who would never forgive me for not getting him one. I ventured to website of artist Eli Neugeboren and a grin overtook my face. I wanted to buy all of his shirts! This guy was Ink & Code material and I knew I had to reach out for a chat. He’s someone I wanted to get to know and certainly someone everyone should also want to get to know. Eli Neugeboren is one to watch.
Read MoreLet’s just get it out of the way: Rocky is a milestone in America cinema. It’s a flawlessly realized character study that balances a somber tenderness with moments of humor and a visceral finale with every element seemingly in place. Every frame is marked by an aching sincerity. This sincerity was carried over into the first sequel, but unfortunately largely absent until the sixth entry in the series, 2006’s Rocky Balboa. It is the sequels in between the decades where the legacy of Rocky was constructed around training montages, the Rocky III introduction of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” and the overall cheesiness and jingoism of Rocky IV, losing sight of what made the original film so powerful.

Read MoreWhat’s in a throwing game? Or rather, more specifically, what’s in a dart game? The player launches sharp sticks at a cork-board in an attempt to hit the bullseye for points. Winner takes glory. Sometimes, the game is played drunkenly. Often times, I would say. But what makes darts fun? Unique? Weird?
A good friend and collaborator here at The Ink and Code just might have some answers for you, valued reader.

Read MoreRemember the badass Game of Thrones dragon shadow ad that appeared in the New York Times, on the side of buildings and busses, etc? Well, in a way (a big way) this almost trumps that. While it’s not accessible to everyone (it’s in Dorset, UK) like the NYT ad was, it’s nonetheless impressive.
Read MoreThis past weekend as I was roaming around with Paul, I stopped into Toy Tokyo. It was someplace I hadn’t really been in a while, and I forgot how much I loved. It’s one of those places that reminds me how cool New York is/was, and takes me to a really happy place. Unfortunately, I’m a collector (not hoarder), so it’s very hard for me to go into places like this and not spend money. So I avoid them.
Most of the things in these places are what I view as accessible art (sometimes accessible, not always). They’re often limited pieces, specially made for a special audience. They look awesome, they’re always conversation pieces, and I love them. If anyone knows me, even just a little, they know how happy these collectibles make me.
