September 5th, 2011 Daniel Fincke There is a subway that I sometimes ride that shuttles back and forth all day between Grand Central Station and Times Square and it is the most wonderful subway advertising experience because the entire interior of the train will be designed as a giant ad for something—be it the baseball playoffs or a Broadway show [...]

“Philosographics”
August 30th, 2011 Daniel Fincke Genis Carreras renders various philosophical views down to pastels in predominantly geometric shapes.

August 24th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Whatever works, I guess: The best comment on YouTube: interestingly enough, this was the entire vocabulary of my ex-wife.

“Come Closer Together”: The Beatles Mashed With Nine Inch Nails
June 15th, 2010 Daniel Fincke DJ Zebra’s incredible mash up of two classic songs from a few years back is more than a gimmick, it’s a legitimate work of art in its own right: By the way, Trent Reznor just released his first album not as Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels.

June 15th, 2010 Daniel Fincke He must have done something to really piss God off. You don’t think he suggested a change to the official policy on gays, do you? The full story is from the Associated Press and the photo comes from them too. Your Thoughts?
