Factoid


This info comes from "Massive Change: The Future of Global Design," an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Not usually the kind of show I enjoy - very text heavy, more like a science exhibit. But there were so many new technologies and outlooks on display; it made me feel a little less pessimistic about the future.

Dudley P. Nutt


I saw this mascot on a package of Pearson's Nut Rolls today and it triggered an intense 5 minute laughing spasm - tears were running down my face, I had stomach cramps, and I had to hide the package because I needed to catch my breath. I can't quite explain why I found this so funny. I was imagining the people at the candy factory's graphic design department brainstorming and sketching this character. He's "On a Roll." Get it? Maybe I'm losing my mind.
