If the real Ad Men on Mad Men had an illustrator gal-pal with serious finesse it could have been some skirt wearin’ beahive Betty named Dyna Moe. But the real Dyna is here and now and paintin’ pretty some slick retro designs. After her friend, Mad Men star Rich Sommer (Harry Crane) asked her to create his Christmas card last season, it got the ball rolling on her illustrating one image to represent each episode of the award-winning show.

She’s been working on these for a while, but it now seems the whole collection inspired by Season 2 is up on her Flicker page “Mad Men Illustrated“ – where you can check it out in slideshow format. Part of Season 1 -which is still in the works- is up there too. And, if anything catches your eye, she’s selling some of them on cards, mugs, t-shirts at her Zazzle store.

The design of Betty Draper getting all housewife agro in her Ossining Calling (nod to the Clash) is a lot more modern old school but never-the-less cool. My faves though all seem to be of Joan Holloway. The “What A Doll!” framed poster includes “almost all of the outfits worn by Sterling-Cooper head secretary / office manager in the first Season (which you can get unframed, and play with like paper dolls… ah, the good ol’ days of paper dolls!)

Dyna doesn’t have a very detailed biography up on her site, but she does have a collection of all the episodes of “Cakey! The Cake From Outer Space” on her blog “Let My Fists Do the Talkin’” – surely just as fascinating.

Miss Moe did announce recently that Zazzle took down her Mad Men calendar for “copyright infringement” to which she responded, “is technically false. I could argue against it pretty easily, but who buys a 2009 calendar in 2009? So, I let it be.” So if you are interested in any of the work, you might be best to get it quick. Though she does mention that we shouldn’t cry for her, that she has bigger fish in the fryer and that Zazzle’s usefulness may have run its course – stay tuned! I’m sure anything that dynamo does will be fun and styley and we’ll keep you posted!

You may not have the $475 lying around to purchase Showtime’s limited edition, signed, Shepard Fairey “Power Saw to the People” silk screen, but this Dexter design (originally commissioned in honor of Dexter’s inaugural appearance at last year’s ComicCon) is available through Gold Label on everything from mugs to mousepads. And in regards to the debate over whether Fairey’s graphic art is street or sell-out, personally, if it’s good enough for Andre the Giant and Obama…it’s good enough for us.

LATE BREAKING NEWS — Gold Label Goods just got the okay to print the Power Saw design on t-shirts as well! Be the first on your block to get yours! obey obey obey! (Okay, I guess the Obamicon link needs to go in here somewhere…).

Most of us can’t wait to see Jessica Alba, Jack Black and, okay, even Cloris Leachman (as long as she’s not dancing) this Superbowl Sunday on The Office. Sure, they’re not really going to be at “The Office” but simply appearing in a “pirated movie” that some of the office staff are watching. But if yoga in suits and skirts isn’t helping relieve work-related stress, Jessica Alba would be my next choice too.

NOTE: NBC has since taken this offline, so, in case you missed it, catch the whole episode here thanks to Hulu. But please, sit down, prepare yourself for the make-out scenes.

Hey Office fan-geeks, you only have three more days to enter NBC.com’s The Office t-shirt design contest. Okay, the grand prize isn’t more than a bunch of Office garb and swag – including stuff with your own design – but hey, if you run into Dwight or Michael or Angela at the next Dunder Mifflin office party you’ll have something to talk about while sipping your fancy orange-vod-juice-ka!

If you’re not artistically inclined you can still be an art critic by clicking here to rate other people’s submissions – some of which are pretty cool:

In the meantime, you can get yourself some authentic “Office supplies” by checking out the Gold Label Goods Cafe Press store, which stocks ten legal legal legal legit legit legit Office designs to help you feel like a member of the team! Go Mifflin!

What’s more scary than life behind bars?

A TV show about women behind bars, perhaps?

The 6th and final season of the popular Showtime show The L Word, has led off with “Jenny” dead in the pool. Through flashbacks we will spend the eight episode season figuring out this whodunnit ala Dallas‘ “Who Killed JR?” Hmmm… This has led to mixed reaction from fans; many pleased that Jenny’s finally been offed, but bummed that the whole season will essential focus on her as they flashback three months in time to sort out the chain of events. AfterEllen LWord vloggers Dee & Jenn of “Come with Me if You Want to Live” (who do a ridiculous, funny, supa-extended recap of the plot lines – in case you want to catch up) jokingly likened it to a Lesbian game of Clue.

Though we may not yet know who killed Jenny, there are some obvious “spoiler alerts”. One being that, on the Showtime site, you are invited to cast your vote for a possible suspect. Thing is, there are only six choices: Niki, Alice, Shane, Tina, Bette, or Helena. Secondly, though the spin-off will include a new cast -with just a few L Word stars reprising their roles- they did announce that “Alice” (played by actress Leisha Hailey) is set to star. Ergo, logic dictates that whether “Alice” did the deed, was set-up, or -as some promos infer- she’s taking the rap for a friend, she is the one who goes to jail.

Of course Showtime hasn’t announced whether or not they will pick up the new show (tentatively titled The Farm). While they’ve filmed the pilot they’ve yet to edit it together and we’re told it will be a few months before they make their decision. Including high-profile talents like Famke Janssen and Laurie Metcalf may mean it has more than a fighting chance…but for many of us, we just hope it includes Shane!

What do you think about it?

Weighing in on the level of importance between inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America or a DVD release, we have to admit the former makes for a more highlighted news feature. But, besides Barack Obama swooping in to save the day (please, oh, please!), January 20th will also be known as the day Repo! The Genetic Opera was released on DVD. During hard economic times, our lifestyles may succumb but entertainment must prevail (escapism = essential). So, in a symbolic show of mass escapism to a Sarah Brightman high-octave extreme (uh-huh), we’re working our lil’ tushes off to bring you more salacious Repo-wear. Check back in the next week! In the meantime, picking up the new DVD might temporarily squelch any residual Bush-o-nomic grief, while Blind Mag on a dark hoodie is expertly designed to keep you smiling and warm on the many chilly winter eves to come.

You don’t need syringes, knives, or body bags to be flush with killer Dexter gear. Gold Label Goods is the official provider of on-demand authentic products from your favorite Showtime shows. Check us out, we love feedback including input on what designs you’d like us to generate next!

Dexter may not have won any Golden Globe awards this year (is being nominated enough of a consolation prize?), but the star of the show sure did walk away a winner; he married his sister! Okay, kinda gross but what do you expect from a serial killer. Yes, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and TV sis Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) quietly eloped to Big Sur New Year’s eve; in time to enjoy a little off-time before Season 4 starts shooting this Spring. A coincidence that Dex and his TV honey Rita just got married on the show, but their nuptials include foreshadowing of a potentially short honeymoon phase. Sadly we won’t be able to find out until next fall how that turns out. ‘Til then, how about a nice blood-riddled Dexter shirt to proudly display which show your Golden Globe votes would have gone towards!
