One of my neighboring co-workers has a huge collection of coffee creamers sitting at her desk. I had some free time on my hands at lunch and decided to make a sculpture out of these assortment of creamers.
I titled this work of art: "Creamers of Melancholy"
Alright, I am all about strong sexy women shaking their groove thing.
But really, Shakira, did you find it necessary to hump the speaker during your "lip synch" performance?
Shakira love the new song, but you need to save the humping after the kids are in bed. It's a family show for goodness sake.
And I must add her lip synching was awlful.
I haven't been following the Michael Vick saga too much. I knew about the dog fighting and how he spent some time in jail. What got me more interested was the recent sign-on deal he has now with the Philadelphia Eagles.
I keep hearing in his defense that he made a mistake and deserves a second chance. Hmm, first of all, it wasn't just one mistake, it was a repeated mistake, costing many dogs their lives. He also profited off their violent deaths.
Is this the type of sports hero we're suppose to just stand up for and cheer?
He is a sports figure, and he has an obligation to his team and fans (whether he wants to admit to that or not). He disregarded both when he involved himself in this barbaric, childish, form of entertainment.
It makes me sick that the Eagles would even consider letting him play.
In the end, I'm sure the controversy will die down and it will be a thing of the past. I hope not, I hope sports fans, dog lovers and society in general will not let Mr. Vick forget.
My editorial sketch of Mr. Vick that will be publish in tomorrow's York Daily Record.
I created a meteor page that is in today's York Daily Record.
I just blogged about how the main art was created using a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop techniques.
On the page, I also created a smaller information graphic explaining what happens when the meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere.
All four images are based off of my original main art. I just turned off my different layers depending on the time frame of what is happening.
The fourth piece of art is when the meteoroid starts breaking apart.
Very simple, I used the lasso tool and created various shapes and then cut and pasted from the original whole meteoroid. That is how I created the broken pieces. Each piece is on its own layer. I used the free transform tool to rotate and scale the pieces.
And that's all folks!
I love today's Google art.
Inspired by "The Hungry Caterpillar"
I got a little further along with my cartoon.
Again, I started out with a pencil sketch brought it into Adobe Illustrator and began tracing over my sketch. Now, when I say trace I did not use the "live trace" function. I am still using my mouse and with the pen tool I am drawing my cartoon. So in short I am redrawing my illustration.
I did notice that my perspective is off with the laptop so I will have to adjust that.
Okay, Halloween was quite some time ago, and so was my last blog entry.
