“Saxsquatch” will renew your faith in humanity (or its close cryptid cousin)

With 2020 being as “2020” as it can get, it’s reassuring to know that people like Saxsquatch exist. He’s a guy who like to put on a Sasquatch outfit, get into the woods, and play the sax.

How about this seasonal-appropriate one: Summertime?

Or God Only Knows by the Beach Boys?

He’s not limited to just the saxophone. Here’s a fully-instrumented cover of Daft Punk’s One More Time:

And he performs in places other than the woods, as this full show footage shows:

Force by Northwest

I love Jim Hance’s painting that adds a little Star Wars to the Hitchcock classic North by Northwest, titled Force by Northwest:

Jim Hance's "Force by Northwest" (Cary Grant running from a TIE fighter) Click the painting to see it at full size.

On the painting’s page on the Artbreak site, it says “Acrylic on wood board painting, scanned and digitally manipulated.” Signed prints are available!

In case you don’t recognize the scene, here’s a still from the scene that inspired it:

Who knew soy sauce led such an exciting life?

In case you’re jonesing for some new weird and wacky Japanese animated advertising (remember the animations for Panasonic’s “Hi-Ho” Internet service?), here’s a promo for Kikkoman Soy Sauce that only the Japanese could produce. You’ll never look at soy sauce as just plain old salty black liquid again.

The partially-English chorus of the Kikkoman theme, “Show me, show you” is a pun — shoyu is the Japanese word for soy sauce.
