Parody…

Monday, October 27th, 2008 by calixton

…schmarody.
I had made up a John McCain yard sign Adobe Illustrator file—for parody purposes—quite a while ago, after reading an article in The Sacramento Bee. But, the spoof bug never bit, as I wasn’t feeling disrespectful enough—and couldn’t think of anything clever enough—to commit anything to digital print output.
I still haven’t thought of anything clever, [...]

NEW! Lost chili in 15-ounce size!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008 by calixton

A while ago, our good friend and fellow Lost-watcher, Kamen Rider, pointed out that his local DIY DHARMA Initiative Chili supplier (Costco) had changed the size of the cans it was carrying from 19 ounces to 15 ounces. Accordingly, the DI Chili labels we had posted no longer fit properly. Yes, you could still slap [...]

Lost potatoes in cans

Thursday, August 7th, 2008 by calixton

Just because we missed out on all things Lost at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con—Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof at a showrunner’s discussion; getting tested at the (new) Dharma Initiative recruiting booth; and the big Lost panel in Hall H (capacity 6,500)—doesn’t mean Max Pictures has given up on Lost until Season 5 begins next [...]

Thursday, but no Lost

Thursday, June 5th, 2008 by calixton

Crud.
What are we supposed to do on Thursday nights now? Until 2009, I mean.
I suppose you could look at the bright side—Lost returning in February 2009 gives you eight months to stock up on DHARMA Initiative products for your Season 5 premiere party.
Yeah.
Well, here’s a labeling project: DHARMA Initiative Peanuts.

You can make your very own [...]

More Lost soda 2-liters

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by calixton

Do you like your DHARMA Initiative sodas in the 2-liter size? Have you been missing the sharp, effervescent flavor of DHARMA Initiative Lemon Lime Soda or the super-sweetness of DI Orange? Well, wait no more, just download the following PDFs—

DHARMA Initiative Lemon Lime Soda (2L)
DHARMA Initiative Orange Soda (2L)

—print, trim, and paste, et voila, DHARMA [...]

Lost soda now available in 2-liter bottles

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 by calixton

Okay, it’s a little late, but here’s a DIY DHARMA Initiative 2-liter cola label:

DHARMA Initiative Cola (2L)

It’s similar to the Insanely Great Tees cola label that they had to pull down months ago. (I guess that’s why I never bothered to produce one before—that, and I don’t get soda in 2-liter bottles.)
An orange soda and [...]

ダーマ・イニシアチブ 日本酒

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 by calixton

With Bernard and Jin pulling seafood out of the tropical waters surrounding the island, another thing our Lost survivors could use is some good sake. Actually, with all the show’s topsy-turvy timeline and plot zaniness we could all probably use some good sake.

Someone who did get some good sake recently was our good friend Kamen [...]

What’s missing on Lost island

Friday, April 25th, 2008 by calixton

I’ve finally figured out why Jack seems pissed off all the time.
No coffee.
I know the Tail Section gang have been trapped on the island sans café for over three months (this is in the island timeline) but who’s to say how long the withdrawal effects from caffeine last? I know I’m pretty grumpy if I [...]

Lost Cure-all

Thursday, April 17th, 2008 by calixton

The forces of nature this spring seem to have launched an all-out attack on my upper respiratory system by unleashing invisible waves of pollen, spores, and other microscopic particles solely designed to make my sinuses uncontrollably itch. In search of relief, I have dug through the contents of our most recent Hanso Foundation supply drop, [...]

DI products gallery

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 by calixton

It was a little over a year ago when Max Pictures started churning out DHARMA Initiative labels for the Lost-obsessed (you know, people like us). In that time we’ve created a lot of labels that no one but us is likely to ever use. So in an effort to grind out every last bit of [...]
