Ork Posters

I saw this smashing map of Toronto when I was picking up my "Tex" cardboard game head from a nice little shop on Roncesvalles in Toronto's south-west end, called Soho Art and Custom Framing.

It's from a company called Ork Posters, and they this as well as other major US/CDN cities that have been mapped this way to choose from, along with the Heart, the Brain, and the Great Lakes.

I'm off to NYC soon, and hopefully will stay for a spell, and I thought this nice little reminder of my hometown would be much-appreciated.

"Tex" - Large Longhorn Trophy

Cardboard Safari has a full line-up of laser-cut cardboard animal head "trophies" that add a good dose of flair to your walls for not a lot of dough.  Choose from the trophy heads of rhinos, moose, deer, longhorns, elephants, or even a bass fish.

"Tex" sits proudly above the flat screen TV in my living room and provides much-needed substance to an otherwise plain and boring wall. 

Easy to assemble, comes flat-packed, made from recycled materials, and comes in natural brown or white.

10 Ton Lampshade

Who doesn't remember Wile. E. Coyote with all his stuff purchased from Acme to catch the elusive Roadrunner?  I wasted years worth of Saturday mornings just waiting (and hoping) that the Roadrunner would finally get his and become a nice fried/baked/broiled/BBQed meal for the hapless coyote.

This 10 Ton lampshade from Meninos is one of those simple, easy, "why didn't I think of that" items that you would buy even without knowing where to put it.
