I just spent three weeks teaching my Fundamentals of Imaging students how to scan in their sketched graphic novel layouts, and alter them in Photoshop.
{Too bad both the Jets and Colts lost. Congrats Saints!}
Most got the concept but a few did some outstanding work considering it was their first project in Photoshop.
{I love the Twilight Zone scene!)

4. Arsenic and Old Lace at the IMA. What fond memories I have of this Cary Grant film. I used to watch this movie over and over with my family growing up. If you have a dark/twisted sense of humor like I do, you will find the timelessness of this flick. If not, then well I guess you are just weird

5. Reserve your tix while you can: Free Crazy Heart viewing from the wonderful IFF. This one is sure to be the Oscar clincher for Best Actor. Jeff Bridges already has won the golden globe for it, and T-Bone Burnett has made the soundtrack into a supporting role all by itself. (As of this posting the film has sold out…sorry.)
Quick Links:
1. Logorama: I want to see this soooooo bad.
2. Rapunzel: I want to live in this world, what a beautiful visionary collaboration between Polina Osherov and Nikki Sutton.
3. The man behind the “I’m with Coco,” campaign. Bravo sir, bravo.
4.bRaZiLiAn Design: they even screen print their leaves, that’s how eco friendly and design forward these cats are.
5. Crayon sculpted people: I want to color with this guy, his crayons are definitely cooler than mine.
6. Do’s and Don’ts of Online PR: I really agree with Lindsay Robertson that if marketers of bands and artists followed her outline, there would be less annoying email blasts in the world.
is for Frenemy…Nicole Ritche and Paris Hilton, Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, Martha Stewart and Donald Trump. All have been frenemies at one time. Frenemy comes from the idea of an enemy disguised as a friend. You know, the friend that is is always there for you in the beginning, and then as soon as they get their promotion, multi-million dollar contract for their own reality show, a PR leg up or even your beloved spouse–then their true colors show through.
I’m sure at some point in everyone’s life they have had a frenemy or two, I just like making fun of them. I can’t help but laugh at the smash up of those two perfect words and I’m thrilled to see that there is even a frenemy music group. It tickles me pink that recently Ira Glass and the gang at This American Life did a show about frenemies. For me, life is too short to hold grudges, but man are they entertaining to watch.
My crazy interpretation of frenemies comes from the letter “f” (presented by the Freebooter font family) and layered with a vampy Vegas showgirl – so lipglossed, laser-eyed and feathered that it would make Paul Verhoeven think more than twice about doing a smash up remake of Showgirls featuring the cut throat antics of Gina Gershon’s character, but replacing Elizabeth Berkley with Mitzi Gaynor, or Debbie Reynolds. And lastly, setting the whole thing to the time period/alien war setting of Starship Troopers. Why not? I bet Mitzi could still shake her tail feather (prostetic hip) and chase aliens against Gina. I’m just having some fun.
You can find a Frenemy wallpaper and brushes to download in little gifts.
