Good (k)night.

A spot to archive nerd images of interest from out of print/hard to find art books, magazines, comics and other assorted ephemera laying about as well as detours into other things found about the web. I really do try my due diligence to make sure none of these things have been seen online before with the scanned images or at least new to Tumblr with the web stuff to make it worth everyone's while and to have fresh content but, y'know, I'm not perfect and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
Some of the pieces from the 'Hey Oscar Wilde! It's Clobberin' Time!!!' literary art collection (link above) may make it over here from time to time as well. Or not.
Much randomness ahead...
The word on the street.

I’ve gotten a few notes from people wanting me to re-up the zip file containing the long out of print The Star Wars Iron On Transfer Book images from 1978 that I had originally uploaded to megaupload a year ago.
The new link is http://depositfiles.com/files/fjyk2j3m6
Instructions below from my original post on how to best use these.
Go and make cool stuff!
Here’s a Christmas gift for you.
All 16 Star Wars iron on transfers taken from The Star Wars Iron On Transfer Book (Ballantine Books/1978).
Download the zip file with all 16 optimized images at <link redacted> (if this doesn’t work or expires, shoot me a message and I’ll re-up. I just tested it and it works fine).
Print the image you choose on the highest quality on special iron on paper (the Epson offering seems to get good reviews on amazon) and transfer to your t-shirt. Actual image size is 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches.
Thanks for following me these past few months.
Tough luck, Ralphie-boy.
