According to their site, this is the number one unicorn and rainbow service WORLDWIDE. This is serious stuff here, kids — big business. Check it out: Cornify.com.
Really, I don’t know how we’ve all used the intertubes without this thing! I have a sparkly, hot pink unicorn-pegasus-pony thing and a big unicorn-leaping-through-crashing-waves plastered across this page as I type, and my gosh–how to express it, the love, the joy? –well, I’ll never blog without them again, put it that way. Go on, go Cornify a depressing website! It’s lovely, and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.
The semester IS OVER. LIFE BEGINS ANEW!!! –sorry, but this is an occasion that simply demands abuse of the capslock key and excessive punctuation.
I am so relieved!! I finished my last final a couple of hours ago, and it. Feels. Delightful. I can’t even tell you. Tomorrow I’m going to write (work on Owen’s Uncles–poor Owen’s been in a tight spot for ages now, I really need to get him outta there), watch a DVD (Star Wars? The Office? Who knows! anything’s possible, man!), drink coffee (yes, I do that everyday, but tomorrow it will just taste better), do Christmas cards…Oh, and I’ve got a really cool new book, “The Human Figure in Motion,” that I can’t wait to do some sketches from…
fig. 1. Cool new book, yay.
Eee! I can’t wait. I have school stuff I have to do over the break, but I absolutely *refuse* to think about it until Monday at the earliest. Nyaaah.
I still have a couple of pesky essays I’m working on for the final in my info retrieval class so haven’t gotten to do much of anything fun today, artwork-wise, but I did mess around with a dorky little Christmas kitty pic that I’m using for a new avatar. It’s pretty silly since it was made in like ten minutes in MS Paint, which is not exactly the tool of champions, heh… But, since that’s all I have to show for my day that’s creative, and since it shows off/makes fun of my precious wittle puddytat, I shall post it :)
There, now isn’t that just the most precious thing EVER??
What? what’s that you say?
why, yes, yes I am a crazy cat lady, why do you ask?
This is the cutest thing…I am undoubtedly totally late to the party here, it’s prolly really old, but I hadn’t seen it before. Check it out: Austenbook
I love this one: “Kitty Bennet became a fan of Officers” — hee! But now I need to re-read Pride and Prejudice… Oh, and after I tracked the links back to see who made Austenbook, I found out that she’s in library school too! A fellow library nerd, that so figures… :-P I’ll edit and add a link to her livejournal later, when I track it down again. ETA: Here’s her livejournal, edeainfj, and I see that Austenbook actually isn’t old, she just did it. Cool! I’m not behind the times on an internet thing, for once.
There’s also Meyerbook; I haven’t checked that one out yet, but I imagine it will be funny… Sparkly vampires… *giggle*
Anyway, back to working on my Information Retrieval assignment now, *le sigh* It’s my last assignment of the semester though, thank dog… then just studying for finals and then done!! can’t wait–I’ll be updating way more often over the break–got big plans for art/wrtiting projects, yay :-)
Well, you know, gotta keep expanding the ol’ repertoire, right? Why shouldn’t I make a cartoon?!
…….Oh, right, because I’m not a team of animators…I don’t have a bunch of drones at my disposal to save me from having to do the thankless chore of drawing a million in-betweens….hmm…perhaps there is a flaw in this plan! I don’t care, I’m still interested in trying it.
I’ve just recently had this idea for a cartoon kind of thing set to Berlioz’s “Ronde Du Sabbat,” which is a really fun, scary-yet-whimsical piece of classical music… I think once I have some time to fiddle around with it I’ll be able to accomplish what I have in mind with just scanning in drawings, working on them in Photoshop, and then using Windows Movie Maker to animate it. Not sure, but I think it’ll work. I could use Flash, but from what I’ve seen online, I don’t think that would have the look I want. Too smooth and computer-generated looking– I really want it to be rough and to make sure it has the look of my drawings, not an artificially smoothed-out Flash drawing, which has a very distinctive look of its own. Anyway, something fun to do when I can get to it…I have some very rough sketches which I’ll scan in and add to this post later.
I just recently dredged up three childhood phobias, which I thought I’d record here for posterity before I forget about them again. I think bizarre childhood fears can be such fruitful territory for stories and art…I’m just certain these will come in handy someday! Plus it’s just so funny to remember things like this… So here they are:
1. Flushing the toilet in public restrooms
2. Sweaters
3. Strong winds
Aren’t those great? How did I ever turn out even halfway normal?! :)
fig 1. The Dreaded Sloane Valve, which my dad says is what make public restroom toilets so terrifyingly loud.
