A library of memes at the Arx Publishing website

Arx Publishing has recently gone live with a page of glossy quote cards for purchase. If some of them look familiar, it's because nearly all of them have appeared on this blog at some point or another. Most if not all of these memes were created by yours truly.

In the wild pre-throttle days of social media, several of these memes were passed around and enjoyed by thousands of people. In fact, even now, I see some of the earliest ones pop up occasionally on my feeds. A few of them have even been incorporated into other memes. 

If you're on Facebook, you can see my complete output here: Paolo Belzoni on Facebook. They don't get much traction these days on Facebook—I can almost pinpoint the exact day that the Facebook censors put the clamps on my account. But lots of people still see them on Reddit.

At some point, we thought it would be fun to turn these memes into physical artifacts. While everyone else in the world is digitizing physical items, we decided to pull a Chesterton-style paradox and turn some digital objects into physical ones. We started printing out these photo cards to give away at conferences. Arx also includes them in book shipments they send out to individual customers. I know for a fact that some of them end up tacked to people's refrigerators for years.

Here are several low-res samples from the new Arx Meme Page:
