Check out where I am currently undertaking all my new projects. I have my Sony Vaio desktop, Sony Vaio laptop, digital video camera, mp3 player USB cord, and a wireless mouse all crammed on to one desk. I am the product of a digital era. What else can I say?
I decided to pay homage to one of my favorite movies by making this picture. I came up with several different drafts with various filters. All I can say is that I am seriously elevating my skills as far as Photoshop is concerned. I am making use of my time being un-employed by reviewing both Photoshop and Illustrator tutorials daily.
I decided to post the version using the poster edge filter because it made me look the most evil. Some of the other versions included these filters: paint drops, cutout, and film grain.
This is definitely something for all of the English majors to take a look at. The idea is to see how many of the 100 most common words in the English language you can guess in 5 minutes. I did this last night and was only able to list 42 out of 100.

Well I suppose this is what campaign marketing has come down to in order to really sell a candidate. You may have read my recent entry about Webkinz; well check out the Obamakinz plush doll. There are also plans in for a Clinton and McCain doll in the near future. On the same website you can find Beach Blanket Obama Figure as well as a Condi / Condoleezza Action Figure. The action figues remind me a lot of those used on Robot Chicken.
You can buy the Obamakinz doll here for $16.95.
I think it is pretty well known that I am into tattoos. They [tattoos] are very interesting to me and I admire artists that dedicate their lives to creating this type of human artwork. Recently I came across the practice of eyeball tattooing which I had never heard of before.
"Eyeball tattooing has been around for a long time; in the 19th century it was commonly used to correct cosmetic defects in blind eyes. Shannon Larratt, owner of the body-modification website Bmezine.com, decided to give the idea a 21st century spin. He and two friends had their eyeballs injected with the same dye as is used in regular tattooing."- technovelgy.com
“The eye is very resilient; you can put almost anything in it. Your eye actually is designed to be able to handle contaminants being there," said Larratt.

I had to post about this Zombie Pageant that took place at Phoenix ComiCon, the most ghoulish, and likely to eat brain is crowned queen.

I have to share all of the wonderful things I find on the internet. I would be a terrible blogger if I kept them all to myself. Check out these awesome zombie inspired t-shirts/items that I found on a few different websites! There is a little something for everyone.
For the "Trust Me" shirt the item description reads "I just had liver and onions for dinner." I like that there is a hand bag available as well; most likely for body parts.
