I wonder if my friends would have been cool enough to do this. :P

This is probably one of the better covers of one of the most over-exposed, over-used, over-covered/remixed songs of the last year or so. I mean, I can’t not laugh at the frontman’s hair and get up… but lo-fi feel is a good change up. I wish they’d done something for the gun shots and cha-chings though!

Custom Subway Poster of the Day: Graphic designer Erin Jang drew this lovely NYC subway map for her subway-obsessed three-year-old nephew’s birthday:

You know how I posted before about my nephew’s subway-themed birthday party? Well since J loves, loves, loves the NY subway system my sister asked me to make this poster for him. She provided all the places and subway stops that mean something to him, and I illustrated this map so he can see everything together at one glance. The final size was 18”x24”.

Um, Erin? Will you be my aunt?
