Morality Test... Questions raised by this terrible age of computers.


I barely have to make a choice anymore.

pre-yellowing your pages for that old time scrapbooking feel

I felt very professional yesterday. Why you ask? Just look at this picture.

With some assistance I was working on this...

It's large, about twice the width of what you can see here. At 22 feet long it's the biggest thing I have ever made, stretching out over six tables. And, despite being printed on paper, is unbearable to move. God knows how I'm ever going to present it to my class for critique.

I think it's a lot like this table I made last term.

In a similar, but not quite that similar, way I made this print out of typewriters.

On a side note, when I was up on top of all the lockers next to the silkscreen room I found this.

I'm not sure under what circumstances someone would tape a naked picture of a woman to the top of some lockers, but by god I bet they're interesting.

Finally, this is a little depressing...

also it was raining.

seven deadly scrapbooking sins

I have two container related things today. And one non-container thing.

Oh, the ecotainer. What a terrible 'tainer. I appreciate that it is made of ecologically friendly materials (possibly even recycled), but my god, it doesn't really 'tain' anything. Were they to poor my coffee into the air it would hold about as well and presumably be even more ecological. My second container related incident is as follows...

I did not even know I was capable of such acts of, for lack of a better word, heroism. I am impressed with my self. JohnNils was impressed too, and it was his waterbottle.

I have been thinking about this for awhile. I finally started to work on it today. Typographic wallpaper, though not actually for walls--unless of course that's where you want to hang it. I'm going to start silkscreening it tomorrow in big chunks. Now I just have to figure out the best way to do that.
