DRB Feel-Good Issue #9



"FEEL-GOOD SHOT" #9
Link - by Avi Abrams



Some joyful stuff to brighten up your day
Mixed images flow: cars, girls, etc.

Welcome to the new issue of Dark Roasted Blend's "Feel-Good" series: mostly bright and sweet collection of images designed to propel you along your day with a smile on your face and a spring in your gait.

This is a kind of Tumbler-substitute for the caffeinated, busy crowd with deeply-felt and sophisticated sensibilities, somewhat nostalgic about more glamorous times (you know who you are), or just looking for that extra bit of sunshine.

Mind-Boggling Art & illustration

Frank R. Paul illustration "On the Attack" features an incredible giant mono-wheel vehicle:

Star Trek: New & Improved - and Seriously Streamlined!
