If you have yet to experience the full-on force of Cloak Ox, well... here you go:

Autumn is finally here, and one of my favorite things to do when the season hits is to take the drive out to Jordan MN for a visit to Jim's Apple Farm, AKA Minnesota's Largest Candy Store. The BRLSQ crew first discovered this magical place as we were driving out to Windom MN last year for Aaron Horkey's ""Midwestern Heart"" art opening and we all instantly fell in love. A giant yellow barn on the side of Highway 169 situated about 45 minutes SW of Minneapolis, this is your one stop shop for local apples, homemade pies, pumpkins, smoked meat products, and just about every kind of obscure candy you could imagine. The giant yellow barn. Hard to miss. Lots of candy. Hissee Fit. More weird candy. Get off my log. Pro tip: the light is always on. These are some of the best pies you will ever have. Trust....

To coincide with his recent lecture in Philadelphia, friend of Burlesque Aaron Draplin put together this gorgeous poster of some of the best icons and visual memories from the City of Brotherly Love. I mean, just about everything is here from Ben Franklin to Pep Boys to Schoolly D to The Dead Milkmen to Rocky to cheesesteaks to Hall & Oates. Wait, where's Jazzy Jeff?!? OK we'll let that one slide for now. But really, Draplin asked us to print this badboy and we couldn't say no! He had a few copies for sale at his get-down in Philly. In case you weren't there, we will be making this poster available very soon through our online store. Wanna know all the details? Just be sure to sign up for our mailing list to catch all the pertinent info in your inbox. 18 x 24"" 4 color screenprint on mixed French...
