Drill Baby Drill
Gas prices continue to rise. Everywhere around the world people are feeling that smoldering hole in their pocket continue to get hotter and hotter. Eventually it will burst into flames and leave a giant 3rd degree burn on your buttocks (and if your a lady, it’ll burn a hole through your purse like those precious stones did in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). With other traditional sources of energy becoming depleted as well, opinions on where to find fuel have been shifting considerably. Soo how in this infographic by GOOD.

Work the Angle: Psychedelic Artwork by Matt Andres
Matt Andres artwork is a fantastic mix of abstract and psychedelic imagery on paper. He creates his work using a range of mixed media including paint markers, acrylics, and highly detailed line work. His original artwork is stunning, and great for sitting there and letting your eyes wander between the lines and colors like you were walking through Strawberry Fields with a kaleidoscope. He also teamed up with Mandy-Lyn Antoniou and did line work over her photography, which is possibly some of my favorite work by him (and her photography is incredible by itself).
Check out his work below, make sure you check out his store on Society6, and his website: Work The Angle

“You knew the this time would come. Everything used to be new, exciting — different. But I’ve changed, and you just can’t keep up.”

Working Jams: What Music To Listen To On The Job
I’m constantly reminded of the scene from Empire Records when they open the record store, and get to choose an opening song to blare and sing along to at the top of their lungs, and get amped about starting the workday.
