Great Commercial

…Went Up The Water Spout

So I’m in my backyard deweeding and coming closer to the flowers when I find this gorgeous and frightening spider (Golden Orb Weaver) that ran toward my hand when I brushed up against its web. Note the distinct web pattern: gorgeous.

American Dreams

Honestly, the video (so precious) speaks for itself but I’ll put a transcript. Also, rewatch and keep an eye on Lopez:

“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don

Just Beat It

One of the hardest part with this whole school business is figuring out how to deal with it. I’ve been on the receiving end of that sort of thing but it was at an older age so I know how it affected me later in life. I know people who were victimized like that early on and I’ve seen how it affected them as well. But in both (if not all) cases the sage counsel of the Parents is always “Fight Back” or “Look Tough so that they’ll leave you alone.”

His First Day of School

I can’t remember my first day of school. Maybe it’s because I only spoke Spanish when I was younger or maybe it’s because I tend to forget things. It’s probably why I enjoy studying so much: forgetfulness makes everything new.

Rey’s Dream Doodles: Speedball

A while back I figured the best way to break into comics was by taking a really stupid character and making him/her cool so I started researching. When I found Speedball I figured that a character couldn’t get any stupider but then I actually found myself liking him. I’ll include a thumbnail that links to a full size image and a medium sample that will be on the page for those who don

Jedi Sy: Photoshop Doodle

For this one, I’ll go right into the full size photos. It starts off with the “finished” product (with 15 minutes of photoshop work you can’t really say its a fully finished piece but it was as much as I wanted to do for the photo) then ends by showing the before shot, the props, the compiled layers sans photo and a grab of the layers panel for edumacation porpoises.

Great Performances

Last weeks Tell It To Me Tuesday kicked my buddy MCF into a late reply and when I saw his list I was motivated to do it as well. And I mean, super motivated since performances rose up from my subconscious mind demanding to be replayed. So here they are:
