(rt) Illustration: Clever logos, disturbing art, & more

• Dig the clever use of negative space in this “Snooty Peacock” logo.
• “Possible Reasons Why Your Big Idea Is Destined to Fail…” See more “Pictures With Words On Them” from David Fullarton here.
• A bit disturbing:
  • Resist the Nazi Dinosaurs!! Bizarre faux-vintage posters.
  • “The Totally Insane, Candy-Coated Paintings of Charlie Immer”? Yep, that seems about right.
• The Manhattan street grid is 200 years old this week. The NYT’s Map of How Manhattan’s Grid Grew overlays maps from 1811, 1836, and today.
• Neat: UI Stencils help you draw interfaces on paper. [Via]
