LLOG BLOG#6: Send-ins and Advertising = YES! / March 25, 2016 by Matt Everett

Hello and happy Log Day! Holy shit! It has been a wacky-wild week in the LOGMAN INDUSTRIES PRODUCTION STUDIOS. I can't wait to show you, but first, let's get to READER SEND-INS!

This first one is sent via cell phone directly from the frosty, snowy and mapley state of Vermont!

Thanks to Kala B. for sending this one in. Stay warm!

(We are not certain that this photo wasn't meant to be sent to another "log-based" internet site...But LMI got it. oh well, LUCKY LMI!)

Here's one that arrived via cell phone from the home of MIKE THE HEADLESS CHICKEN (http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org/mike) Fruita, CO.

Thanks John L for your loyal following and for this drawing... that has nothing to do with logs.

Coincidentally, Back in 1997, one of our faithful LMI artists did this painting...

a digital pic of a photo print of a painting of an alien.

...It's a little blurry... but can you see the alien? it's right there... that one blurry shape RIGHT THERE! (side note: This was painted for a fellow artist/art collector named Mike G. and he threw it out. YES!)

The last READER SEND-IN comes to us via time machine from Grand Lake, CO from the year 1983.

Again, not log-themed, but very nice, Matt E. Thanks for the READER SEND-IN! YES!

In other LMI news, the LMI ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT has taken on a few accounts...The first account is a brand new, fine wood-working shop in Boise, ID called CRB WOOD LABS... They asked for something that reflects the artistry and precision of the custom wood working on which the company is founded. Let's see the best three that LMIAD produced over the last week...

We are still awaiting a call back from CRBWL.

Here are a few the LMIAD did for a Seattle-based drink additive company called Addition http://www.drinkaddition.com/ ... they wanted something that would show the "strength and potency" of their BEER SAUCE product. Let's take a look...

As you can see, this was LOGMAN APPROVED, but the client wanted something with a few...ummm... "less swear words." No problem! Let's workshop it!

Work shopped. Hmm. Juuuust missed the mark.

Well, Addition ( http://www.drinkaddition.com/ )went with someone else, but good effort on our part! oh, and Addition Beer Sauce is definitely LOGMAN APPROVED!

VISITING ARTIST INTERVIEWS: Ugh. it was more work than the LMI Dictating department thought. The first interview is not fit for print just yet. Stand by... hopefully next week. High school football coach, Larry Newlin, once said, "Winners find a way. Others find excuses." Well, Lar, I was tired this week, and the internet was going slow, and my dog ate it. So EAT THAT! YES!

Here's your SNEAK PEAK OF THE WEEK into the LMI R&D Art Labs...

THAT'S ALL FOLKS. Follow Logman Industries on Instagram, and, as always, have a LOGGY WEEK!

LLOG BLOG#5: WOW! Throw it back again! / March 19, 2016 by Matt Everett

As you know, Logman Industries strives to offer the BEST internet viewing experience on Earth. Well, feast your terra firma on this juicy bit...

That's just a sneak peak at the possible SUMMER 2016 product LMI might be offering! (oh man, it's going to be an exciting 2016!)

Meanwhile, The LMI Preservation and Archiving Department found this 11 year old jewel in the vaults this week...

Well, let's see what info this pretty little book holds..

There's some pretty funny stuff in there....

I don't know why, but I think this one is very funny.

That was INTERESTING.

Let's get back to something different...Oh, how about...

Future LMI RE-animated Projects . Let's check out what CRAPPY GARFIELD is up to...

"Dark, but pretty funny... in a totally awesome and genius-type of way." -NYT- 2018 on Crappy Garfield.

Okay. Maybe this next one will lighten up a bit...

Oh, cheer up Crappy G!...

*This is just for humor. Drugs are not good, kids. Don't do drugs. Don't do drugs!

Moving on: Sorry the new T-shirts aren't ready yet. We are working night and day to remedy the problem in the LMI Merchandising Production Department. Everyone has been fired and new crew and management is in training. The Shirts should be ready around... June? Fuck I don't know... I'm not in that department.

Here's your weekly sneak peak into the LMI R&D Labs:

It's a small movement away from traditional logs, which is frankly causing some tension in the board room. This one, too, has caused an uproar...

"Where are the white puffy gloves??? Why is everyone so against the white puffy gloves?!" -Debbie Woodlog, LMI Lead Design Tech.

We will try harder next week, Deb!

Further work on the Pirate Log. NBD. totally NBD.

Two notes for readers: 1) sorry for the crappy photography. We truly are working on improving that part of the LMI experience. 2) Visiting Artist interviews are loaded and ready to go... expect LMIVA1 on Thursday! YES! I'm PSYCHED!

Happy Birthday! (if your birthday is today)

Like us on all the social media and, as always, have a LOGGY week! (Smiley face, 2 thumbs up!)

LLOG BLOG #4: Foundations: "Hi Matthew!" / March 9, 2016 by Matt Everett

As the CEO and Art Director of Logman Industries, I feel a responsibility to our viewers to deliver the BEST INTERNET VIEWING EXPERIENCE there is. However, like a skyscraper, or a really big church, or a... big house... a viewing experience isn't anything without a STRONG FOUNDATION.

Therefore, LMI will start running "Foundation" articles from time to time, to give you some back story. This first "Foundations" article is shipped to us via time machine in a C3Po folder from the year 1985...around October, I'm guessing...

Dracula and Wolfman... Trick-or-Treating. Hmm.

Ghost. "You don'th get none, bithch!" said the Wolfman.

Back to 1985...

... and ya got Frankenstein to the right.

Nice dot-matrix printer paper, Dad. Jeeze, spend 3.50$ and get the kid a frickin' sketchbook, will ya? (ha. don't worry. He did. and he doesn't read this.)

The last one from the 1985 totally had me worried. Was I a time traveler as a child? Is this some kind of warning to be read into this by my 2016 self? ..or is it just a harmless greeting from the past?

I do have some black boots now. Weird.

Okay. Close the book on 1985, for now. Let's get back to the FUTURE!

WHAM!

BAM!

THANK YOU, MA'AM!

(Whatever. It's been a lazy week. Get off my ass.)

(Next week's LLOG BLOG will be WAY BETTER! We Guarantee it!)

Stay tuned for up-coming VISITING ARTIST BIOS and INTERVIEWS! It is going to be RAD!

Like us on all the stuff and, as always, have a LOGGY WEEK!

Yours Truly, Eagle 1, CEO, AD, NCIS Logman Industries.

LLog Blog #3: The BEST ideas! / March 3, 2016 by Matt Everett

YEAH! those are some old school logs from way back in... around... 2010..? Someone get a dust mask... those were way WAY back in the vaults.

Also, did you hear that we saw Don Nolte the other day?

Almost positive on that one.

Enough of that, though. Let's get down to business! LMI has been working on some new ideas that will shock you.. here are a few from the LMI Research and Development Department:

Furthermore, here is are some sneak peaks at what is going on in the LMI Production Department Laboratories this week...

Getting stronger! YES! Hope to have a few of these bad boys finished by the end of March. Stay tuned...

OH SHOOT! We almost forgot... Here are some reader entries/responses to last week's LLOG BLOG:

Denver, Colorado
Those are some killer socks. Unfortunately, **the LMI Authentication Dept** could *not* confirm that this photo is actually from Denver, nor could they pin a name on the source. SORRY! Wha Wha Whaaaa (sad trombone).

And here is a TACO painted on a DUMPSTER...

TACO TRASH Denver, Colorado. Photo courtesy of Pup McLoggins.

Log Blog's New and IMPROVED Name: Llog Blog! / February 25, 2016 by Matt Everett

In an attempt to create the BEST computer internet experience on Earth, our LMI Technology Department reached out to internet specialists around the planet to analyze the LMI website and blog page. Here are some of the reports we've received:

The Seattle/NYC Web Technology Specialist who prefers to go by handle "The Wizard" found that an internet search for "Log Blog" offers less-than-appetizing results. For that reason, the LMI Naming Commission met with the LMI Log Blog Technical Dept and agreed that the name of the blog must change.

LMI is very excited to unveil that new name here, today...

It is "Llog Blog!" YES! LOGMAN APPROVED!

The Wizard also sent in this photo from Brooklyn... Park Slope nabe...

RAD! Thanks The Wiz! (Also, The Wizard's real name is Chip B. YES! High5s!)

In other news, LMI received these pics from Web Tech Charles B. currently stationed in Twizel, New Zealand...

Web Tech Charles B. was not available for further comment.

Moving on... Here is your LOGMAN THROWBACK OF THE WEEK:

It is a sketch of a farting hot dog from 2011. WOW! (There is a painting of this somewhere... LMI will search the archives and follow-up next week.)

Meanwhile, the LMI Old-project Re-visitation Department has just submitted a proposal to re-visit this 2012 LMI project:

... LMI attorneys are looking into the legality of this one. Follow-up report next week.

Finally, here is a sneak peak at what Logman Industries have been working on this week:

YES! That Taco Hat one is frickin RAD! LOGMAN APPROVED... STAMPED & CERTIFIED!

Like us on FB, Instagram and Twitter. And, as always, HAVE A LOGGY WEEK!

Oh Wow! Can you believe it? Log Blog #2! / February 17, 2016 by Matt Everett

Let's get this, the second Log Blog kicked off with a real bang! Here's your weekly entry from the LOGMAN SKETCHBOOK:

Who is? And Who cares?! Check out this TACO MAN!:

WHAM! That one is RAD!

Seriously, Thanks to all of you for sending in your emails and letters of support. The first featured LONG LOST LOGMAN comes from the collection of Pup and Dre McLoggins in Denver, CO... (Please enjoy this one sideways... LMI Technical Support Team is out of the office...and computers don't make anything in the fricking world easy. Why can't there just be a fricking button to turn the f thing 90degrees?)

That one is from ~2013, is acrylic on canvas and is 10" x 7." I'm not sure that the snakey-theme is completely out of Logman Studios yet. I'll keep you updated.

Please subscribe to the newsletter, keep checking in every week (I promise these will get better) and please, please have a loggy rest-of-the-week!
