The Good Ol’ Menstrual Cycle Poster

Posted by Alex in Health, Pictures on June 30, 2010 at 2:13 pm

To explain to her poor husband why she’s feeling insane during certain time of the month, Wendy Bryan of I Heart Guts (who makes gems like the Testicle Plush and other internal organ plushies) created this fantastic The Good Ol’ Menstrual Cycle poster.

Guys, from experience I can tell you that the majority of the time you’ll get a chuckle out of your wives and girlfriends. At certain time, however, you’ll be lucky to get out alive. So, what are you waiting for? Get yours today from the NeatoShop: Link

The Missing Cat Poster

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on June 23, 2010 at 8:08 pm

If you want something done right, you should do it yourself. The last thing you want to do is give it to David Thorne, especially if it has anything to do with a cat. Shannon asked him to make a poster about her lost cat. What she got was not exactly what she had in mind.

Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don’t come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.

There are several other drafts of the poster in this email exchange. Link -via Buzzfeed

WWII Poison Gas Warning Posters

Flickr links: Mustard Gas | Phosgene

Yes, Minnesotastan has posted about the Otis Historical Archives of the National Museum of Health and Medicine’s photo collection on Flickr before on Neatorama, but I found these posters telling the public how to distinguish various poison gases through their distinct smells to be utterly fascinating!

I mean, whodathunk that mustard gas would smell like garlic? (Shouldn’t they just call it garlic gas?). Or that phosgene can result in "increased dopey feeling"? Link

Emergency Escape Plan

Poster by Lebedev Studios

From the people at Art Lebedev Studios, this poster would make a great wall decoration while serving as a reference guide in case of the unthinkable.  And oh yeah, it glows in the dark.

True Blood “Emergency Vampire” Posters

Posted by Queuebot in Advertising on March 16, 2009 at 12:05 am


I spotted these in Auckland, New Zealand (where the show True Blood is only just starting on TV). They’re made of wood, and the stakes are designed to snap off in case a vampire attacks.

They’re screwed down though, which makes them safer but rather counterproductive.

Posted by Miss Cellania in Art, Travel on January 17, 2009 at 8:56 am


Dave and Jenny in Delhi, India found that there are still artists who paint Bollywood cinema posters by hand. They sought out an artist to paint a design for their personalized Christmas cards. What they got was a six-foot poster detailing their Indian adventures! Read the story of how it came about. Contact information for the artist is included, in case you’d like one of your own. Link -Thanks, Dave Prager!
