SECOND BATCH OF I-LOL-STRATIONS.

September 8, 2008 at 1:50 pm | Filed under art & design

Not really illustrations but more like crap I whipped up in ten minutes with the pen tool and some patterns. I’ve posted the bird on Plurk (Fritz insists it’s a paru-parong ningning) and nicely enough, people have told me they find it cute. I’m hoping to incorporate these into a potential template for work (the idea is a scrapbook-y theme, except I suck when it comes to texturing and creating depth). We’ll see.

My creativity is at an all-time low. I can’t even make a decent blog entry.

I WISH I HAD SK1LLZ.

Three iLOLstrations I started some weeks ago that I never got around to finishing:

Number 1 is supposed to be a schnauzer. I clearly failed. Numbers 2 and 3 are obviously the makings of two cats/kittens. Again, I failed (number 3 looks like a Chinese emperor, for chrissakes). I wish I had a pen tablet and the time to learn Adobe Illustrator.

I liked how my bobot turned out, though:

And my army of bobots:

Feel free to LOL and LMAO and ROFL at me.

I’ll probably work on doodling pedophiles hanging out by swing sets next. That’s something I’m bound to get done and not leave half-baked.

DISNEY FINE ART.

July 5, 2008 at 4:13 pm | Filed under art & design

Found on the internets: Disney fine art! I am neither an art connoisseur (I’m absolutely far from being one) nor a Disney fan (I grew up on The Adventures of Tin-Tin, Eke! The Cat, Denver The Last Dinosaur, Dinky Dog, and Sonic the Hedgehog) nor do I even buy art, but these pieces are too beautiful to not lust after (too bad they cost so much. The first three are $595 each and the Cheshire Cat one is $295):

OH HAI, CUPCAKE!

May 20, 2008 at 2:26 am | Filed under admin, art & design

Another new theme, something I’m hoping to stick to for a couple of months. Not totally done yet, as I have to edit the CSS for my comments and then I validate my coding. *cries*

Thoughts?

PS: This layout will most likely look like shit on IE. I tested my localhost version on IE and the Twitter and MyBlogLog scripts don’t seem to work. Bah.

PPS: I made the cupcake; it’s my birthday cupcake with a cherry instead of a candle. Heehee.

Edit – Code validated. I really should aim for xHTML 1.0 Strict.

Cupcakes and diet pills!

HALPZ, I’M STUCK IN WWW CIRCA 2003!

Day 2 of Dreamweaver class and this is what we’re doing:

Tables.

Now I have nothing against tables. In fact, I love tables. They’re nice to put things on and though it’s been proven that they’re not needed to properly eat a meal (because under certain circumstances— say, when you find yourself in a remote island with no electricity, no running water, and no cellular reception— your lap, one of your hands or any steady surface would do), they still make things a hell lot easier.

But seriously, who still uses tables in webdesign? And why does this goddamn school feel the need to devote four precious hours to this outdated bullshit? When we could be spending our time learning something relevant, like, I don’t know, Flash pre-loaders? CSS sprites? CSS-based navigations? Global warming? The plight of drunken elephants in India??? ANYTHING but goddamn tables!

I’ve just been PWOT-ed. I half-expected our instructor to tell us to incorporate glitter graphics and animated butterfly gifs into the site we made today.

You know what I need to do? Buy memory for my laptop.
