IF : Expired

IF : Expired

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme of "expired". I think this started out as me yet again trying to work up a propaganda-style poster (hence the color palette), but almost immediately realizing I don't have the right mindset for it. Instead, I spent some time getting more acquainted with Illustrator CS4's much-improved-but-still-goofy inline Gradient editor.

I guess the only thoughts behind the IF tie-in are for you to think of expired milk. If you open it up, icky things are bound to escape. ;) Laters.

 

iPhone Zombies

Posted on Monday, March 15th, 2010 under Life | No comments

Plants vs. Zombies

You may have missed the announcement a few weeks ago, but one of my favorite games, Plants vs. Zombies, from one of my favorite Mac game developers, Pop Cap, has just spouted up on the iPhone. Now you can continue to quell some beautifully illustrated zombie madness on the go!

I know Jodie didn't install this on her iPhone, for fear of losing her life to it ... but I had no such qualms. Parcelling out one or two bite-size pea-shooter and mushroom-filled levels every day works perfect for me. Plus, if you were hesitant about purchasing the $19.95 desktop version (though, it is well worth it), you really can't beat the $2.99 price point for almost an identical game.

Check it out, you're bound to love it, but, of course, it has the same disclaimer as my last recommendation ... it's addictive. The music, the sound effects, the funny flower dossiers ... pretty much all of it. Addictive like yummy brain flesh.

 

is finally getting caught up w/ things...including getting around to posting about a song and a boy ;) ... http://www.drastudio.com/babymax/

Daily Sketch – Reading

Daily Sketch - Reading

I've had this simple sketch sitting in an "Upload Me" folder for a while now (hence the post date adjustment). This guy managed to get shuffled around between backups, restores, a broken laptop and now my fancy new MacBook Pro. Just a little graphite and some blue lead pencil (which I found in the grass on campus ... at some point) to show how much time I have spent reading lately.

I usually jump between a bunch of different books at one time, but for a change of pace and an attempt at focus, I have been just reading C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" and enjoying every minute of it.

Another bright-eyed morning so he could take in an early $1 showing of "The Road". Still sans his own Mac... this feeling may be withdrawal.
