Watch out!

AHH!! Run for your life, little dude! My mom sent me a bunch of pictures this morning and this one especially concerned me. Don’t send me a picture like this without telling me what happened to the guy! I thought maybe he got away by climbing the ladder really quickly, but when my madre told me that it looked like there were still two more men in the water, I got really concerned. And then… enter reason: it might not be real. Hmmm… I thought of Snopes. They could give me the lowdown. What do you think? Is it real or not?

It’s FALSE! That’s right, I was worried due to a cheesy photoshop trick! Get the full story at Snopes.com. Grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble, darn kids these days….

Blog of the Day: Roundy Wells

This is a new blog by my friend, Andrea. Her writing is interesting and intelligent, and she links to some cool stuff. So far she has written about typology, ex-boyfriends, family history, talking to her boss, and post graduation plans. Check it out!

In my favorite post so far, she writes about procrastinating at work, analyzing why, and then asking her boss for what she needs. There is some really good info in there. Its thought provoking and empowering.

Illustration Friday: Bloom (1)

Hey! I finally did a real live on-paper picture! It was fun. I did it several days ago and scanned it in just in time (I hope) to make the list. Here is a close-up of the bottom left corner. I had lots of fun with this one and uploaded lots of pictures. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the bloom pictures to see my favorite picture that I’ve posted on this blog. Thanks for coming to visit!

Here’s the full picture as I originally did it. I imagined a young women unfolding like a flower, but I didn’t have the artisitc skill to carry it off, so I made a big not-pleasing-to-me flower in the middle of a page and then I went vine happy. I like my vines.

So, I cut out the middle blob and admired the vines.

And then I inverted the colors in my paint program. Ohhh, I really like that!
