Behold, Nichibi!

I've gone and done it. I've created my perfect character. 
She will forever help me visually express my ideas and thoughts. 

Dream Big Dreamy Dreamer

Dream dreams! And write them down or clip images and post them on a sketchbook or a cork board in your house. These make your dreams more real, and also more on your mind. Logically, aren't you more likely to make your dreams a reality if you think of them every day because you see them every day?
Here are some of my visual dreams: 

DC vs Marvel??? How about EVERYONE ELSE?

I am a comic book fan. And although the giants DC and Marvel grab so much of the attention of the rest of the population, nerds know that things exist out there in such wonderful lands as: Image, Dark Horse, and IDW. Some comics that are F***ing amazing, but you only see in the backgrounds of nerd-made shows and movies (like Big Bang Theory and Paul), include: Goon, Locke & Key, The Walking Dead (which some people still don't realize is more than just a TV show), and Invincible. Even if you are not a fan of comics, there is a good chance you might like one of these or many others based on their amazing stories. If visiting the comic book store weekly isn't your thing, you can always grab some trades or hardcovers. The Walking Dead has a LOT of trades, and so does Goon. And you will NOT be disappointed. 

(One Sentence / Day) x (7 Days) = ???

I have an idea: 
Summarize each day in only one sentence for a week. After the week is over, read all the sentences together. What does it say? Does it make a poem? What is the tone? What does it say about you? If you continue, what do you get in a month? 
I will start mine: 
9/6/11:
I put on my big girl pants.
9/7/11:
The darkness & the rain match the misery.
9/8/11:
Exhausted & head-achey, I dream of the after work hours that will be filled with comics, Terry, & delicious food.

Exercise the Design Demon: Pretend Album Art

Fun with randomness: For awhile there I went nuts with this game. Anyone remember this? Fun way to exercise (not exorcise) your creative design demon. DON'T CHEAT. A lot of people do, and that is missing the whole point. Just take what you get, try your best not to edit the photo, do some creative cropping & typefacing and BAM! -> A pretend album design masterpiece. Sometimes they work out so well that it's freaky. And sometimes they can be so accidentally funny. Instructions below:


1 - Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use Photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together. 5 - Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in

Here are the ones I did:
