a guy i work with passed this on to me and now i to you:

Wow, I wish my computer wasn’t broken. To do homework and scan my drawings? Sure those things. But also so I could play Crayon Physics Deluxe.

 That game is such a cool idea.

Although I can’t take credit for the drawing above, this flash site is pretty amazing. It lets you draw using font characters in an extremely simple UI that records your drawing process (awesome!) and plays back the drawing process when you look at other people’s work (more awesome!). It’s interesting to me that almost everyone draws people/face. I did:

Well, class is in an hour. I haven’t been into the lab since the end of the Winter semester. Don’t know if everything remained there, or was taken down. But here is how the collage wall looked last time I saw it.

Though there may have been a few more dickbutts on it.

OK, so this is a post from another blog… but Ian Francis has some really inspiring work!

Check out this website!
He did these drawings during his meetings.

just found this guy (or guys – i have no idea) on the fwa page.  really cool style that uses a 70’s palette and has the feel of those old 7 inch records.  everything has a yellow tint that gives it an aged look as well.

The Model Your Campus in 3-D contest is back this year. If you have any interest in learning more about 3-D modeling, photography, georgraphy ect… you should check it out.

If you are interested, email me, becaus I would like to get a team together. We tried last year, but it was all seniors and we didn’t have enough time (it was due during graduation). This year it isn’t due until June 1st, but it’s now an international competition.

We should involve some of the CG people from Sill hall and really put forth a good effort.

EMU Friends of the Library need our help. They are having a contest and need us to do the following:

1. design a bookmark
2. design for a 11″ x 8″ canvas bag (2-3 colours) 
3. design a new logo for them

Each category will win a $100 gift certificate. These designs will give back to the EMU community as they are using them for a fund raiser to make the library better. Not only do you have a chance to win some money but you have the opportunity to give back to EMU. There are a few restrictions you must remember:

• bookmark and canvas bag must say “EMU Friends of the Library”
• your name and graduation year will appear on the design
• you can  have a printed piece to put in your portfolio
• they really want your design to “POP”
• let’s show the library how supportive we are
