Amateur photographer Charles W. Cushman travelled extensively from 1938 through to the late 60s, taking snapshots wherever he went. His entire collection of photographs has been scanned and put online. There are some real gems in there, especially the pictures taken in London, Paris, Munich, Dublin, Istanbul, New York and Edinburgh.

Click here to see a full list of locations visited by Cushman on his travels.

Outstandingly original advertising for a sickeningly ugly vehicle. The “Bushman & Eskimo” ad in this series is equally compelling.

Los Angeles artist Matt Burlingame is clearly insane. But hey, who cares when the product of his madness is a whole series of deranged models. Genius!

No more Evel

2nd December

2007

The daredevil, death-defying, stunt-biking hero Evel Knievel died on Friday aged 69. The self-confessed former card thief, safe cracker and hold up man suffered years of ill health caused by his bone-smashing antics throughout the 1970s.

Evel (born Robert Craig) is probably best remembered in the UK for his signature stunt cycle toy. I spend countless hours as a child launching him down the stairs, and he always came back for more.

Evel Knievel, we salute you.
