The Tell-Tale Heart book design

Look what I made...

This is my hand-bound, typographically expressive edition of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. The binding looks absolutely atrocious now, but I managed to take decent photos of the nicer spreads:

Singles Awareness

Well, February 14th is here again. Many people will note that today is Valentine's Day— an annual celebration of uninhibited hallmark romance. But for many of us, February 14th marks the occurrence of another, more somber holiday known as Singles Awareness Day.

American Singles are those tasty slices of cheese that your mom used to put in your grilled cheese sandwiches as a kid. Yeah, those same grilled cheese sandwiches you used to gobble down with a cool glass of refreshing milk...you loved that shit!

mmmmm...grilled cheese
Grilled cheese sandwiches— more addictive than crack.

...except American Singles are not really slices of genuine cheese; they are thin, strangely-textured slices of 'cheese product'.

Seriously, read the package:


Always read the package.

While real cheddar is an ingredient used to make American Singles, these little golden counterfeits are not technically cheese. So those grilled cheese sandwiches you ate as a kid...those were actually grilled cheese product sandwiches.

That's right, Santa Claus wasn't the only thing your parents were lying to you about.

grilled cheese product sandwich
Your childhood was a lie. A warm, toasty, cheese-less lie.

New Website

As you may or may not know, this blog has been woefully underperforming since the Cookie Monster started eating vegetables. After years of market research, our analysts here at Bored and Insane Inc have concluded that we need to take the site in a whole new direction.

According to the analysis report, internet users are "attracted to things that are exciting and hilarious." Apparently, "the only demographic won over by boredom and insanity are art critics and mathematicians." In an effort to amend these problems with audience approval, we will be totally revamping the Bored and Insane blog.

Here is a sneak peek of the new website:

The Toast...it's what's for breakfast

The market research team assures me this fresh, original approach to internet entertainment will be an overnight success.

Pop-Tarts

It was lunchtime. As I opened my last package of frosted strawberry Pop-Tarts, I was suddenly inspired. The thin, shiny material encasing my delectable toaster pastries was perfect for a spontaneous art project:

"spontaneous" is the new word for shitty

So, children...always remember that it's okay to eat Pop-Tarts for lunch—just tell your mom you're looking for creative inspiration.
