The World’s Most Photorealistic Vector Art

Some amazing vector graphics.

If I didn’t know it already, I wouldn’t discern that the gallery below is made up of drawings. Yes! They are NOT photographs. Vector drawings using gradient mesh to be specific. Except for Bert Monroy, all of the vector art displayed here are 100% made from Adobe Illustrator.

empty house…: DMC’s DIY paper lunch bag CD covers…

Artsy idea for the budding band, package your promo CDs in cut down lunch bags, complete with photo-copied cover art.

I’ve been making these fun CDR covers for years - inexpensive, crafty, and you can design, print or xerox any arty label you want… glue them on - or use rubber stamps, silkscreen, linoluem cut print… whatever.

Upside-Down-Ternet

One of the better internet pranks I’ve seen in a while. This could be fun to do with a corporate squid account too.

My neighbours are stealing my wireless internet access. I could encrypt it or alternately I could have fun.

There is no 9/11 conspiracy you morons.

Unlike others who debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories, or “cons” for short, I’m not going to bother with going through intricate point-by-point rebuttals, or pointing out the hundreds of factual inaccuracies and outright lies in this “documentary,” because I don’t need to. In fact, I can debunk the entire story with one simple observation:

The fact that this man is alive…

Yum?

Eat it, of course! In my book, food without danger is like sex with a condom: it goes in the same entrance, but the experience is altogether less thrilling, less memorable, indeed less satisfying. I fetch the ice cream from the freezer, scoop out a chunk, and admire its pinky goodness.

Is Bush Still Too Dumb to Be President?

Jonathan Chait: Is Bush Still Too Dumb to Be President? - Los Angeles Times

Interesting.

WAY BACK when he first appeared on the national scene, the rap against George W. Bush was that he might be too dumb to be president. As time passed, questions about Bush’s mental capabilities faded away.

Once More For The Road: The Daily Show Reminds Us

Once More For The Road: The Daily Show Reminds Us “The Internet…It’s Not A Big Truck” - Jalopnik
The Daily Show is playing it safe, as they don’t think the message has been entirely saturated by the public mind. Thus, they felt the need to trot out Resident Expert Sir John Hodgman to remind folks yet again this important message from Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK). This message again can help you to differentiate a “big truck” from the “internet.” Although we’re sure you already know this, we wanted to make sure you heard it not only from us (on both occassions), but also from a true Resident Expert. Thus, we bring you the talented Sir John. Sir John, take it away.

Signs of Satan

Signs of Satan

Put on your tinfoil hat before reading this.

The “El Diablo” hand sign often is con-fused with the deaf hand signal of the phrase, “I love you.” While at first this appears an odd resemblance, we register an “ahh, I get it!” emotion when we discover that the person who invented, or created, the hand sign system for the deaf, Helen Keller, was herself an occultist and Theosophist. Did Keller purposely design the deaf’s “I love you” sign to be such a remarkable imitation of the classic sign of Satan? Was Keller saying, basically, “I love you, Devil?” -Texe Marrs (See CODEX MAGICA).
