End inequitable orgasm!

[imomus]

A couple of cool things to show you before dashing for my Tokyo flight...

Rubenmichi are Ruben and Michi, a painter and a designer based in Madrid. They're branching out into making soft toys, and their latest 'rubenmichi pet' is... a Momus toy! Eat your heart out, Topo the rabbit! (Or mine, perhaps...)



The dolls are for sale, apparently.

I spent a few hours today writing my new piece for the AIGA Voice, 'Design as Religion'. These little sermons are commissioned by Steve Heller of AIGA. Steve is senior art director of the NYT Book Review and a one-man industry when it comes to design books. Googling for his e mail address I found this tremendously cool photo of Steve from his New York Free Press days (back in 1968, in fact) and thought I'd share it with you. 'End Inequitable Orgasm' is the most succinct fusion of Marx and Freud I think I've heard.

That's funny. McDonald must have taken in all the outsider clans in Scotland. My last name, Leith, falls under the McDonald tartan as well. Supposedly, Leith was first used as a surname when an immigrant French family named De Leyth adopted the name of Leith river and seaport as an anglicized version of their own.

I love the doll. I'd buy a bunch and even give them to people who don't know who you are, but 30 euros might be a bit steep for that. But if someone wrote an accompanying children's book, you could be a big as Flat Stanley and Curious George.

I'm trying to find out who the pulga (flea) person is. A Spanish woman wrestler? I wish those artists would make an Edwyn Collins doll, too.
