Described as the "world's foremost celebrity painter," Brandon Bird has garnered attention for his hip, vintage-inspired pieces and keen sense of pop culture. His piece, No One Wants to Play Sega with Harrison Ford, reminds me of a time when Sega was the coolest console around and Harrison Ford, aka Han Solo, was a hero to geeks around the world.
I am a Nintendo girl, but I always had fun playing Sega and thought Super Mario could get a good run out of Sonic the Hedgehog.

The other night I met up with some of my childhood friends at a cute club in the Mission in San Francisco. As we watched the slightly-less exciting third act (our friend spinned with the second act so we might have been a little biased) our conversation turned to the hilarious mix tapes we used to make one another when we were kids. While we didn't use anything like the AIWA Radio-Cassette Corder, which was made in 1976, we were definitely rocking similar technology - recording from CDs and other cassette tapes onto a cassette tape and sometimes, if we were feeling especially into it, recording personal jokes between songs.
