Music, film, design, all over! The democratization of design and production so far has led to a flood of piss poor products and the unfortunate side effect is that our culture is being diluted at an ever increasing scale. Heres to hoping our namesakes will pick up on it and reverse course. This is a metaphor for almost all forms of acumen these days.

The crossed pistols motif is OVER. It died when I saw it on the back of a western shirt in kid sizes. Also: pistol pillows. What is wrong with you people? Just because you can find cool old woodblock prints that are in the public domain doesn't mean you need to letterpress that shit. To the lady that was selling crossed pistol letter-pressed stationary that said "St. Lou - The Wild Wild Midwest": YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. Maybe you shouldn't be juxtaposing gun imagery and a sense of lawlessness with the place where you live. I'm sure you and your hipster friends would really love to be accosted by gun toting fiends at all hours. OK, so I mentioned this on Twitter, but I gotta reiterate. The crossed pistols motif is OVER.
