I feel like drawing little gadgets may be my equivalent of doing still lifes of oranges and apples (Must… draw… apple… product…). The first of my gadgets I have decided to draw is my PSP, as it’s my newest acquired gadget and it’s pretty as it’s a white PSP. I don’t want to seem racist [...]
My new approach to drawing: mess around on several different layers trying several different coulouring techniques and whatnot, and as soon as I’m happy with some part of it saving it as a .jpg and posting it on here. See big’un here. My latest scribble is of two gloriously chubby birds, one of which is [...]
I used to draw all the time, I didn’t think that much about it. I just did it. I was never amazing at it, but I feel like I’ve really let it slip the last few years. Drawing just doesn’t feel natural anymore. I blame people like him for having such bitching skillz and making [...]
I should just accept that I’m nocturnal. I keep trying to get myself into a decent sleeping pattern but it never lasts. And I rarely succeed in getting myself into a decent pattern anyway. I like mornings, just when I’ve stayed awake all night, not when I’ve woken up. During the day I also end [...]
I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on the following subject, because I’m really not, I’m just going to provide my perspective on this little matter which has begun to concern me. I’m a consumer. And I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark and say you are too. I consume [...]
I’ve spent the past month crocheting a blanket for my sisters birthday present. It was her birthday at the start of the month…. oops. I felt so bad about not giving her present to her on time that I had to keep making it bigger and bigger. Which meant it took longer to finish before [...]
Rarely do I come across something so very awesome. I mean, much of what’s in my “Things that are AWESOME” series is awesome, but this must be the most awesome-est of all. A daft punk helmet made from scratch. Made by Harrison Krix. It took seventeen months to build, with lots of prototyping and experimentation. [...]
I’ve now learnt over five hundred kanji (I’ve now learnt 510) so I decided to treat myself to this pretty cake. I’m bribing my brain into learning with sugary treats. At the end of it I’ll either have a Japanese vocabulary or diabetes. Or maybe even both. Instead of thinking “Srsly end naow” my brain [...]
Ok, so the blogosphere was collectively squealing itself over this video weeks ago, so I’m surprised (and a little disappointed) if you haven’t already seen this. Watch it now to redeem yourself. I not only love the sheer genius and planning of the video, but the use of all the stuff they smashed / splattered [...]
Unfortunately the robot hasn’t realised that the imac isn’t plugged in. Also it probably needs a firmware upgrade to fully comprehend the emotion “love”. I don’t think it was originally included in OS9.
