Where have all the custom vans gone? There seemed to be no shortage in the 70's and 80's....probably gone to scrap heaps, every one. I suppose man hasn't lost his desire to customize, what with the plethora of, dare I say, "pimped out" rides cruising the streets this day and age. But it just isn't the same. Vinyl wraps, LCD screens and LED light just don't hold a candle to porthole windows, deep shag carpet and wood veneer. And who could forget the paint job? Those amazingly airbrushed fantasy scenes of wizards, cosmic beings, other-worldly creatures, space babes, hobbits, barbarians and wide-stretching galaxies. It's a lost art my friends.
Here at PhoneyFresh I share my weirdo interests, including (but not limited to): Garage sale and dumpster treasures, vintage magazine innards, glorious VHS trash, forgotten LP covers, self help schlock, vexing vixens, my kitschy kollekshuns and oh, so much more. Ninety-nine percent of the content you see here is from my own collection. Scanned by me, photographed by me, etc. No low-res Google search globby jpeg junk here folks! Dig!

Star Wars?
Who are these dudes? I don't recall them in any of the Star Wars flicks....I wish they were in them though! There were a buttload of these albums in the late 70's trying to cash in on the craze. I guess that happened with every popular movie soundtrack really. BTW: Scanning LP cover is a total pain in the arse!

70's Sci-Fi Paperback Covers
I've always been intrigued by these far out covers. The cosmic beings, the beastly creatures, the wondrous titles set in groovy typefaces. I love the whole package! Although I've never really read the books themselves, I might start. If these interest you, you might check out the movie "Gentlemen Broncos" which features a great title sequence made with these wild sci-fi paperbacks!

Children of the Flaming Wheel
The following is an excerpt from Spirit World #1 Fall, 1971. Spirit World was the brainchild of the legendary comic artist Jack Kirby and only made it as far as the first issue.
Kirby was a pioneer in more ways than one. Aside from the fact that he was one of the greatest comic illustrators of all time, he also incorporated far out collages into his work on occasion. This is my favorite shot from the spread and it showcases a little bit of Jack's great collage work. It really blows my mind!
