I walked into a grocery store that I never go to because it is expensive, and look what I found! My favorite tea! What are the chances of finding this brand, this flavor and in decaf in this tiny town? I have been sipping away…
Last night I started to feel inspired. Perhaps it is the extra space. I have been looking for some affordable stencil art on canvas, and it is not to be found. So I have decided to make my own. Here is an awesome tutorial for the Photoshop portion of stencil-making. I have watched it several times because the song really jams. How To: Stencil Graffiti Art. For some reason, probably the bass, it put me in mind of the song Spacelord, so I had to go and download that one. If you are interested, Stencil Punks has a lot of premade ones on their site, which is pretty good.
I am having problems with the lasso tool using a mouse. It would be helpful to have a graphics tablet. At any rate, this is what I came up with last night just messing around. It is not stencil quality, but Sky thought it was cool. It has a dark feel, though.
It is small because I thought he might like to use it as an avatar. He has been feeling nerdy lately because of the enforced haircut. It turns out that the lawyer isn’t the only one who is responsible for the short hair. His Conditions of Probation actually state that his hair must be above his ears. They probably love Nazi youth there. Ahem.
Anyway, having some things resolved frees me up to be more creative. I may actually make something out of those broken computer parts after all.
Happy Sunday!
Michelle, if this haircut thing was really made law by an America state, then I expect it is based on sound, evidence-based thinking.
Cool picture, and vanilla nut creme tea sounds yummy!
I can appreciate the tea but my taste goes more towards a straight hot Darjeeling tea, no sugar. It’s fragrant and full bodied.
The “hair length” stipulation sounds like something from the early 70’s. I was almost suspended from high school because my hair was down over my ears. They were right because it ruined my life and sent me down the road to perdition. If I’d only kept my hair short I would have stayed out of teaching and led an honest life.
I love the stencil, and as for the hair thing–BAH. Hair has nothing to do with who we are. Geeze.
Ah… look at you getting down with your crafty bad self!
super cool!!
