Pigeon Love NY

"Pigeons Love NY" is one of our newest designs, but I wanted to shed some light on the inspiration for this design.

Recently NY councilman Simcha Felder has proposed that the city impose a $1,000 fine for anyone caught feeding pigeons.... come on? He figures that this will control the population of pigeons in New York? If I were to list the top 5 things that people identify with New York-- our dirty feathery friends would have to be on that list!

Here's my list:
1. Times Square
2. horrendous traffic
3. street meat and pretzels
4. skyscrapers and...
5. PIGEONS !!!

Did you know that our state bird is the Eastern Bluebird... WHAT? I have never seen an eastern bluebird walking around on the sidewalks of New York, but I've seen plenty of pigeons! These foul birds have been a fixture here in NY for over a century. Our new state bird should be the Manhattan Pigeon! Send a letter to City Hall demanding to make the pigeon our new state bird.

And the winner is....

Congratulations on winning our first contest! You have won the ALPHABET tee and a rather interesting "random object" that I hope you have room for it on a shelf... hmmm, what can it be? You have to send us some pics for the blog after it arrives!

Be on the lookout for the next contest.... I already dropped a hint about it last week! Peace

Quickstrike CONTEST!

So you might be thinking, "What is a 'quickstrike' contest?" Well a quickstrike contest is a contest that happens without much, or any, warning. I might hint about it in blog posts, orders, e-mails... anywhere! We love contests here at Random Objects! I have been hinting about this contest for a while, and I have been getting e-mails asking about when it was coming. Well, the wait is over... IT'S CONTEST TIME!

The premise of the contest is simple: try to correctly identify all nine fonts in the "Alphabet" design. Here is a detailed pic of the design...



Whoever gets the closest to the correct answers by March 4 will win a free "Alphabet" tee and "a random object"... win to find out what it is! A winner will be selected and announced here on the blog on March 5, 2009. send entries to: randomobjects1@gmail.com

Good Luck, and be on the lookout for clues to other upcoming quickstrike contests. Peace

Obama's luxury TANK

If you are going to be the president of the United States of America, you might as well roll in style. Obama's vehicle is like a limo on steroids. It has it's own oxygen supply and get ready... bottles of the presidents blood in case he needs an emergency transfusion! WHAT? I bet your tricked out Honda doesn't have that.

Nike is at it again!

Sneakers have been a HUGE part of my life ever since I was little. Nike was my favorite brand because of their futuristic designs and marketing campaigns. They were such an innovative company in the 90's, but they seemed to have lost their creative spirit as of recent. But Nike seems to be getting back to thinking out of the box.

These are their newest creation, the City Knife II. These shoes are simply an awe inspiring piece of wearable architectural design. These sneakers fold completely flat! A removable molded insole is placed into the shoes to cushion the foot. These will be great when traveling abroad!

David After the Dentist

Once in a while I come across a video that makes me nearly go into convulsions laughing. This was one of those videos! Although it made me laugh hysterically, I noticed that my right wisdom tooth is starting to hurt. Maybe I have a trip to the dentist coming myself? Kind of ironic I guess.
