LLOG BLOG #24: You like LEGOS? Try LOGGOS! / May 15, 2017 by Matt Everett

Happy belated Arbor Day 2017 (4-28). Awesome!

Log in and buckle your safety belt, because we here at LOGMAN INDUSTRIES: LLOG BLOGG AND SOCIAL MEDIA DIVISION are taking it to a NEW LEVEL this week.

First, you've been seeing a lot from Jam Davis on the Monday Instagram posts, but here is some other cat cartoon stuff about town:

Also Crappy Garfield: Thanks Cha Cha Lounge in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood for posting this.

Thanks for the send in ShrimpyTrash! Rumor has it that a later frame shows Alf giving Garfield "services." Good stuff.

Thanks SeattleMatt for the send-in. It's hard to believe that you still haven't been able to sell even one of these.

Frickin A, though... Check this out:

This drawing inspired by EVERYTHING today. Well, tomorrow will probably be better, right?

Let's turn it around and feature these special items:

That's just great. How about this one:

That one is HIGH QUALITY ART! YES!

Do you like stamps? How about these stamps?

Speaking of good art!...

Nice Crab blob.

Okay, that's it for this week. Check LMi out on Instagram blah blah blah.

Have a loggy week.*

*Legally obligated to say that since 1983! WHAM!

LLOG BLOG #23: When I'm back on my feet again: the return of the llog. / April 30, 2017 by Matt Everett

Welcome Back, LOGMAN INDUSTRIES! One might ask, "WHERE IN THE SAM-SHIT HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THREE FUCKING MONTHS?!"

Well, I'll tell you where. Europe.

Anyway, we would be totally remiss if we weren't to honor the most famous Chicagoan on earth attached to the number 23...

Danny Logbarn.  Go, Danny!  Go! — Danny Logbarn. Go, Danny! Go!

It's been awhile, so let's catch up really quickly:

That is a free couch, currently available just outside of the LMI: Seattle Creative Offices headquarters. Then there is this:

Kale Face! Kale Face.  It's not about a celery, it's all about reality. — Kale Face! Kale Face. It's not about a celery, it's all about reality.

And you must catch up on this:

Jam's office will be posting an instagram of Crappy Garfield every Monday for the year 2017... or until LMI gets sued. We promise that they will be better than this one. Whatever. Check it out on Instagram at @logmanindustries.com. You won't be displeased.

And let's get you some LOG ART STAT:

Pumpkin Head Logman.  Not scary. — Pumpkin Head Logman. Not scary.

Pumpkin Logman + weaponry.  Scarier. — Pumpkin Logman + weaponry. Scarier.

1978 Burt Reynolds Thursday rock: Very Scary.

you couldn't pay me to sit here.  #Scariest doll in the world. — you couldn't pay me to sit here. #Scariest doll in the world.

Sorry we don't have time to writ a whole lot this week. LMI is very busy trying to roll out the new LOGMAN INDUSTRIES SPRING LINE of log-based stuff that our creative writing and online media dept just doesn't have much time for this.

Next week we will though... so check it out next week. You'll be happier than a UNI-WHEELER wheeling past GRUMPY D'S!

Have fun and don't be an asshole this week. Get on Instagram and look at @logmanidustries. Screw Twitter. We don't do anything good on there anyway.*

*Just kidding Twitter. We love you.

Okay. that is officially it for LB#23. Be cool and have a loggy week.**

LLOG BLOG #21: What the Frick? / January 12, 2017 by Matt Everett

Yes! January is the BEST MONTH for LLOG BLOGs! The last couple of Llog Blogs have been good... but like Viper (Tom Skarritt), "we'll make (them) better."

First, you might have missed this in this week's Instagram posts (@logmanindustries):

Well, now you DIDN'T miss it!

How about this one:

Meeting Notes: LMI: Portland, OR Offices

So many meetings, so little time.

Oh WOW! Speaking of that, LMI: Chicago, IL: Large Object Carrying Dept would like to recognize the LMI EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK!

Congrats, Cookie! Good job and don't let the bastards grind you down!

Meanwhile: this scribble was found in a work van in Seattle, WA recently. Photo'd and sent in by loyal Logmanian Tootles McDonalds:

Thanks, Tootles! (LMI doesn't know how this relates, but his dad is a major sponsor, so we are required to publish his send-ins.)

Speaking of thanks, We would like to thank everyone for everything.

GREAT! Let's take a sneak peak into the studios of the LMI:Roanoke, VA: Creative Arts and Beyond Dept :

Dinosaurs.  Yeah, we can do that. — Dinosaurs. Yeah, we can do that.

We will have to see where this output will fit into the Logman Industries product line(s). Rough outlines already sent to our LMI: NYC: Content and Context Division and LMI: Paris, FR: La Contente Departmentee.

Good luck, ye crazy Virginians!

Last item of business for this week:

...If you get the fucking Sunday newspaper delivered to your house every weekend and you live next door to somebody, please for the love of all that is fucking good on this planet, either pick it up and read it, or pick it up and recycle it.

And THAT's... one to grow on!

LLOG BLOG #20: Learning to Draw with Matthew Logman: the Journey / January 4, 2017 by Matt Everett

Happy New Years from Logman Industries!

Well, you requested it... so here it is! Logman Industries is going to TEACH YOU HOW TO DRAW this week! YES!

"First I'll teach you to use this..." (tap finger on his noggin.)

"...Then I'll teach you to use *this.*" (point to sword.)

Unlike William Wallace's weird uncle, we're not going to teach you to use either of those. LMI is going to start with the basics and help you to become a PROFESSIONAL DRAWER in no time at all.

First, check out this pic we found of....

...Crappy Braveheart. LMI:Kansas City: Facts Dept checked the facts on this one... this model actually did play bass for the band "Trixter."

Anyway, Let's get into it. Wherever you are, grab these things...

Okay, now make some marks for a grid and draw a square with your pencil. This is important to keep things in the proper ratio as we move you through this process.

Now grab your pen and start drawing a circle-loop-type line thing.

You are getting it now... let's skip ahead to the side branch thingy...

If you use your left hand, we recommend you do the left side first.

Good Job! Next, work on the two eyes...

Be careful not to accidentally draw three (3) eyes. That is embarrassing.

However, if you do, just measure over and scribble that thing out!

Let's check back in with the left-handed cam:

Moving things along... Draw the mouth, tongue (optional), skinny legs and feet (2-3), then let's get to the most challenging part... step by step:

Okay, almost finished and you are probably doing GREAT! *HEY! If yours doesn't look like a PRO LOGMAN INDUSTRIES DRAWING right away, don't worry! Keep practicing...

Onward:Finish it off with your own expressive flare...

Maybe some expressive lightning bolts...

Once you finish, scan and send your drawing to info@logmanindustries.com! We stamp and LOGMAN APPROVE almost 125% of the drawings we get every year!

Okay, put the pen and pencil and ruler down. Go take a nap. You are exhausted.

Leave the production to us. LMI doesn't get tired. LMI does not sleep. It just keeps PRODUCING AND APPROVING.

Sweet dreams and don't forget to befriend us on Instagram @logmanindustries and on Twitter @logmanstuios. Also, keep it real.

HAPPY 2017!

HAVE A LOGGY DAY*

LLOG BLOG #19: Good Bye 2016: Whatever. / December 28, 2016 by Matt Everett

Well, there you go. See you later 2016.

We checked the facts, and many are saying that 2016 wasn't too great of a year. Though Logman Industries agrees with this a little bit, we want to spotlight some of the better and brighter things that happened this year.

First, Let's check this out:

WOW! Now THAT'S a Canadian Jumbo. NOOICE! Let's take another look...

Here's another good thing that happened in 2016:

Here are a few other things on the LMI radar:

A SHIT LOAD of Polaroids of dogs at a beer store! WOW!

That is positive... Positively RADICAL!

Now let's see what our LMI: NYC offices sent in for a 2016 recap:

...Okay, let's hear it from LMI: Chicago offices:

... say, that reminds me... wasn't the LMI: Chicago, IL offices supposed to send in a TOP 10 FUNNIEST THINGS List for this week. We will be checking back in with them.

LMI: Athens, GA Offices, what you got?

LMI: Paris?

Okay, last one... LMI: Seattle, WA:

Okay, okay, okay. New week LMI promises to GET HAPPY and hit you with some POSITIVITY!

Maybe LMI: Chicago offices will deliver on their promise... stay tuned and see!

Until then, visit LMI on Instagram @logmanindustries and on Twitter @logmanstudios. Both are rad.

If you have any questions or concerns, or cool pictures, please send to info@logmanindustries.com.

Keep it real LOGGY and have a LOGGY NEW YEAR!
