Scooter Hughes of Life Under Construction offers coloring pages for people to color and send back to him. Just for grins I decided to do it analog (that’s geek for “traditional” media), so I printed it out and coloured it with markers. I have to say it looked awesome. Then I scanned it and it looked like something the cat drug in. Scanning is also an art form that I have yet to master. I tried to clean it up digitally after the fact and more or less failed. But I already suck, so I couldn’t make things too much worse.
Anyway, Scooter blogged my pathetic attempt on his site complete with a load of overblown artistic hype–the dude has potential either in politics or advertising!!–and he also posted a fun “Where’s Brandon” panel reminiscent of the “Where’s Waldo” books of yore. I thought I might have spotted Brandon wearing yellow somewhere in the middle of it, but my geekified eyes are just not up to the task of making a positive ID at that resolution.
So much for analog. I’m goin back to digital, especially now that I got a little Wacom Bamboo for Christmas. And I hereby promise to learn to make vector graphics with Inkscape, and will maybe blog some experiments so you can laugh and mock me more.
haha…he linked to your birthday cartoon which cracks me up every time.
I am still struggling with the Wacom Bamboo… very nice piece of tech, but it takes some getting used to.
The bamboo went in nicely to GIMP. I find it waaay better to use than a trackpad. But maybe that's just because I only know how to do dead simple things anyway.
I recognise the ones mentioned, Jesus, Sammy D.J. Jackie O but who's the bondage guy??? Bearman perhaps with his hair dyed blonde???
Not Bearman, but Brandon, the hero of "Life Under Construction." In that particular strip his "friends" (those folks who are all around him) had staged some kind of system shock intervention in order to solve his social problems by forcing him to watch lesbian porn. Go figure. If you want to know more, ask Scooter.
shock intervention, forced lesbian porn??? I don't think I want to know more…
I think he put it in there for shock value. Life Under Construction is not normally about that kind of stuff.
