Sunday Evening Doodles



Stickers



Sometimes I look for my stuff out in the world. These stickers were licensed years ago, but were never produced, at least to my knowledge. And yet the links are still up.

HIgh School




One of my friends from high school posted a bunch of her photos online. And I happened to be in a couple of them. Back in the days when my Cure shirt was in heavy rotation, along with my Dead Milkmen, Sid & Nancy, Siouxsie and Slime Balls shirts.

Good Stuff

Got good stuff in the mail this week...

Awesome mug from Thabto...



And a t-shirt I designed along with a bunch of candy from Boca Sweets

Rant

When I was in NYC, I broke down and went to see a couple mainstream movies. Both were disappointments. But I didn't go into either one expecting much.

First, I saw Death Race. It had its moments, but was nowhere as good as the original, Death Race 2000. I blame the new way of movie making. Film all action sequences from 18 different angles, then do really quick cuts so no shot is on screen for more than a fraction of a second. You see a lot, but you really see nothing. The style does nothing for me, but apparently the kids love it.

Next, I finally got around to seeing The Dark Knight. I tell people that I really don't like superhero movies, to which they normally respond, "Oh, I don't really like superhero movies either, but THIS one is good!" I've heard that about X-Men, Spider-man, Transformers, and of course, the past two Batman movies. And I've been disappointed with all of them. I went into The Dark Knight with an open mind. People have been raving about it. And the movie just didn't do anything for me. I can't figure out why people love it so much. I didn't find the cinematography, story or acting to be anything extraordinary. It really baffles me why people think that this is such a great movie.

For me, there's just something that doesn't translate from the comic book page to live action movies, or even to cartoons.

Evilness Abounds




I just stumbled onto this facetious Fan Club card for a VP that I worked under at one of my former places of employment. He's the total corporate type, so we never saw eye to eye. At one point, he gave me a lecture about creativity. "Creativity is more than graffiti and cartoons." Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I took out my frustrations by making Fan Club cards for everyone in the department.

Crackdown



At work, I'm creating an e-card where the user can upload their photo to a dollar bill. So the first thing I did was scan in some money. When I went to open the files in Photoshop, I got this warning. Really took me by surprise.
