a collection of things i wrote about color. these aren’t necessarily “tutorials", just things i’ve discovered that work for me and might help others. i’m still learning.
Kickstarter campaign from KC Green brings to physical life a familiar meme, the content coffee-drinking dog in a burning house:
From that far away year of 2013 comes a set of images so powerful, it stayed relevant for 3 more years and possibly beyond.
From my old webcomic “Gunshow,”
this dark horse of a comic rose into prominent usage among the college
testing crowd and grew from there. Normally the first two panels are
only seen. Brevity is the soul of wit, after all! But it continued to
seep into the consciousness of America and the world as things seemingly
just got… worse.
I, for one, hope there’ll be a day when we no
longer have to look for the dog on fire to support our feelings, but
until that day comes, maybe a nice big plush of the boy will help.
I used it, I’m a fat ugly bastard, I matched with a girl who wasn’t too shabby looking, texted for a few days until we were both off. I picked her up, she was very cute, went to dinner at a Japanese steak house and had a good time, drank some sake. She suggested we go back to my place (woo!)
We stop by her apartment to get her car and she wants to get clothes. She follows me to my house and we make out in my driveway for a few and start to move towards the house, I’m excited, gunna get laid and all yessir, been a while.
So we are on my front porch and she goes “eew, what’s that” and points to this baseball sized toad that hangs out on my porch, this is his 2nd year it there. Anyways I explain he is cool and I knock beetles off my porch light for to eat and stuff she walks over to him, looks at me, like intense eye contact and proceeded to slowly stomp on my toad.
Now at this point I was experiencing several emotions, shock, anger, rage. I shouted at her “wtf, why’d you do that” to which she replied “I wanted to make you mad so you’d Fuck me hard” I was speechless while I processed what I had just witnessed. I told her to get the Fuck of my property, she flips out, we yell back and forth, I sprayed her with the hose and she finally leaves only to show up 20 min later topless on my deck in the back yard. She had walked from down the road and pulled like 6 pickets down from my fence to get in the back yard.
Cops came, she cried her way out of trouble with them and left.
I decided to create a surprise “gift” for the great friends I have, especially those who were able to come to my private birthday and goodbye party. I used the melody from Closing Time by Semisonic and reworded the song to fit my own situation.
What inspired me the most was Closing Time’s lyric “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
Igor Volsky, Deputy Director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, spent much of yesterday calling out our lawmakers who claim to have thoughts and prayers for the Orlando victims but accepted money from the NRA. Ted Cruz’s tweet may have been the most hypocritical of all.
