a spectacle of people wearing spectacles



-The first thing is a picture of a guy holding some kind of abstract-looking cotton candy. I might add some more color later, but, for now, I think I like the simple look.
-I can't really take credit for the composition of the second picture. It's based on a photo that I think was taken at a party Playboy hosted at South by Southwest. I found it while organizing the many "untitled folders" cluttering my desktop.
-Also, things should finally improve because I finally have a real source of motivation! I found out that, right when I get back to school, there's going to be a little show for the art majors summer work, so I definitely need to take things to the proverbial "next level".

title: couple on vacation, with pixelation


-This picture doesn't achieve my goal of diversifying what I'm making (although, it has little flowers and vines- which are kind of new for me).
It's just that my grandma asked me design a logo for t-shirts for a family cruise we're taking (a very clever idea on her part, because, otherwise, I'd probably not be so into the matching shirt thing), so I wanted to quickly make something that would get me into the proper nautical/vacation mindset before getting to work on that. However, unlike this picture, the cruise we're taking will be completely not raunchy
-Monday's post will be much more "inspiration quest-y".
-Also, I'm switching up the schedule a bit. From now on, I'll do new posts on Mondays (like before) and Fridays.

on a quest

Things have gotten a little busy these last few days, so I don't have anything to post about for today- tragic, I know. In fact, I've decided that, with my Summer schedule, Mondays still work well, but Thursdays are the worst days for posting. So, when I do a makeup post on Sunday, expect an !+exciting+! announcement regarding the revised schedule.
I've added some photos, just to give you a sneak peek at what I'm finding so far on my "inspiration quest".

(belated) father's day post




-My dad is probably my #1 blog-fan and he just made my computer SO much faster by adding new memory (seriously, it's so good. no more "force quit" and "rainbow circle mouse"!), so I wanted do a post for him.
-I made a picture of Pamela Anderson because I think she's his celeb-crush (Or maybe it's just my grandma's boyfriend, Moe, who likes her because they're both Canadian- I don't know, what's done is done)
After looking at pictures of her for ideas, I've decided that I actually like her too because we kind of have similar "casual dress" styles.
*edit: I was totally wrong about my dad liking Pam Anderson, but he does think she's definitely more appealing than Kate of "...+ 8".
-I've been slacking off lately and things seem to be in a rut, but I'll get my act together. I really want to diversify what I make, so I'm planning on going on some sort of "inspiration quest" to get some new ideas- We'll see how that goes!

post(poned)





-I screwed up time-management wise, so all I have to post is this unfinished picture from a photo of a woman who's participating in some sort of festival in Brazil- maybe Carnival? I'll get my act together and put up the finished version (+ some other stuff) by tomorrow morning. It's lame that I couldn't handle my rather undemanding 2x a week schedule- trust me, I'm really working on changing my ways.
-However, when I post unfinished things and then later the finished version, I am making this blog more interactive by providing everyone with the chance to play a rousing game of "Upgrade or Downgrade?"
*edit: the finished version is added. i'll make something else later and put it up.

a virtual fiesta






-My 50th Anniversary Post ended up being pretty boring, so I figured needed to make the 51st a true party! This post is pretty crazy, so if you're unlike me and actually have to deal with a 9 to 5 lifestyle, you probably should wait for the weekend to experience it.
-I finally think I made a decent looking Britney Spears picture. Recently, my sister mentioned something about how Britney once said that the thing she wanted most was to have an island where she could be left alone and have privacy, but the paparazzi even managed to find her when she went to Mel Gibson's private island. So, I kind of went with that island-searching theme, but decided against including the Mel Gibson part- which was probably for the best.
-Then, here's a photo of a couple at a club or something
-Lastly, here's a little abstract thing that I made while being an insomniac. It ended up looking sort of phallic, which maybe enhances the party-ness of this post?
