These jelly bean portraits were done by the late Peter Rocha.  He’s used to work for Jelly Belly as an artistic ambassador, of sorts.
Free pager for anyone can spot the common thread between all the pictures (beside them all being made of jelly beans).

It’s perfectly natural.  But sometimes things can get out of hand….

You all know that I love Monster Brains, I link to it semi-religiously.  This new post of German pulp scifi covers are raising my interest in the blog to near plagiaristic levels; I’m just going to repost all their stuffs on combustion injun, then maybe Aeron will notice me.

596 For those of you brave enough to put combustion-injun into your browser history

posted by oldmanjut

keepleftThe Internet is an ancient world, the face of which has been slashed and burnt.  We’ve all been forced into the holding cells of facebook and myspace and diaryland.  Our images must be put into tidy albums, our hypertext brutally ripped from our comments.  But there once was a time when a man’s mettle was proven by the fire of his html and the bravado of his animated gifs.

It is in this spirit that I give you the newest addition to the sparse layout of combustion injun: .gifs corner.  You will find no Flash®, but there will be ritz and glamour; the profound simplicity of the CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format, circa 1987.

Each new page, and every refresh will bring you a new magical talisman from a bygone era.  If you would like to add to this standing monument, send me your files, and you too can join with me in this silent ovation.

I haven’t updated combustion injun for several weeks, i know. What should I use this blog for? For what should I use this blog? Do you want to hear anecdotal stories about my mundane life? How about entirely false stories about my life that are exciting and create a certain mysticism about my persona? Or I could just keep posting youtube videos and humorous pictures. Sound off in the comments.

No one is reading this, amirite?
