Brought to you by ILHD: Photoshopchallenge.com
Hello friends! It’s Friday! (Friday…) and let’s be honest, we don’t wanna work today. So why don’t you take an internet stroll over to my new side project Photoshop Challenge? My friend Alex and I created Photoshop Challenge as a site where creatives could test their cut and paste skills and take a silly break from the daily grind. We give you a concept, you make...

Instant Classics: Drive (2011)
Truth be told, I’ve been growing pretty restless over new movies. It’s hard to get turned on by yet another reboot or remake (Straw Dogs, really?).

Found Stills: River's Edge (1986)

Its script is a messy stew of shootouts, car explosions (my fav!), dramedy, and extraneous musical interludes. I watched Streets of Fire for Diane Lane but...

Hubba Hubba: Drew Barrymore (1992)

I’m having trouble remembering the particulars of how and when I first came to meet Nat Thomson. I do know that ever since that day, unbeknownst to him, I have been secretly in awe of how quick-witted and smart he is. I’ve been somehow containing the geeky friend crush I have, while inside my teenage self is maybe not so cool under pressure: smiling from ear to ear and probably...
