Sandwiches

For now, the last of this week's shout-outs to the Tillman Tumblr, condiments. We'll check back in periodically on this blog, just to see for ourselves what the boys are up to when they should be doing something other than messing about on the Internet. For regular updates on your own time, check in through the menu item up top.

We hope it's lovely where you are too. Here, with all that love and beauty about, last thing you want to do is work—but still, work is what you do. For more distractions, click over to the Horsehead crew's Tumblr: condiments.

Again from the Tillman Tumblr blog ("condiments" in the menu above), this time from the musical debauchery otherwise known as SXSW. Here, a shot from the boys' up-close-and-personal vantage at one of the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (seriously) shows (sadly, no shots of Darnell's back-flip stage dive) plus a shot of our boys Japanther.

More from the Tillman's photo blog over on Tumblr, to which we are offering a link in the main menu above (that thing called "condiments"). Why? Your guess is as good as ours. That said, the boys do a good bit of work on our behalf, and aside from their standard fees for the crating bit, we don't really pay them (unless you count the Stranahan's, which they certainly do.) So the link to their blog is our way of saying thanks. These photos here are inverted views of some bits from that Sol Lewitt show at Mass MoCA. More on that show in other, older posts on this blog. For today, just more photos after the jump and more condiments all week.

So maybe you've noticed the changes we've made to the site over the past few weeks, though truth is, on this blog "we" use the word "we" in the royal, editorial, the-Dude-and-Walter sense. In this case and many others "we" means the Tillmans. Specifically Clovis and Darnell Tillman, founding blowhards of Horsehead Crating Company. The changes they made to the shopping section we'll get to later (or what the hell, since this is purportedly the website of a company that makes and sells furniture, click over there now and see for yourself). Today we're drawing your attention to the new menu item up above. That's right, condiments. An obvious accompaniment to this Sandwiches nonsense, it's a Tumblr site dedicated to all things Tillman. Virtually none of what you'll see there is the work of us DoubleButter doofuses. All Clovis and Darnell, all the time. You'll notice there are almost no words on the site, just images and the occasional link to something they found and liked. So far no breasts, but knowing those guys it's probably only a matter of time.

The big sister of the Turtadillo coffee table, looking all grown-up and too-cool-for-school. Except that she’s not. She’s totally approachable and down-to-earth, you’re just too scared to go up and talk to her cause she’s so frickin hot. Well, don’t blame her for that. If you’re gonna blame anyone, blame us.

As promised, another new piece, though this one is oldish in the newness category. We made the first prototypes, oh, two years or so ago, for the teachers at a Denver Montessori school. We knew it was a winner then and two years later it's still winning. In one of our two new colors: blazing yellow. Beautiful, we think, with the paler yellow of the forming ply top and the cream drawer pulls. A full eight-feet wide and a mere two-feet deep, all we really need for what we do and likely all you need too. Unless you're an old-school, blue-prints-and-flat-files sort of fella, in which case just give us a ring and we'll hook you up.

Another new piece from the furniture lab, this asymmetrical Turtle desk in solid walnut. Part of the new and improved Turtle desk collection (another example tomorrow, presuming Clovis gets the photos ready), this one is shaping up to be a favorite. Really, he's more of a work table since he's mostly surface (over 6-feet long here, a full 8-feet in the two drawer, symmetrical version), perfect for just about everything we do around our offices. And we expect we're not alone. A drawer for a pad of paper, some pens and office miscellany and the rest of our office world is virtual—or at least we're heading that way. More new pieces all week.
