If you share it you haven't got it.



Good morning Starshine! The Earth says, "Hello!"

Jackson hasn't replied, so here's hoping for who ever is #2 on the random list that he doesn't.

I started on another project that I'm now in the process of finishing.
Wanna see my process?
Well Alright.
Tools: Pencil, Marker, Eraser and Exacto Knife
I made this one for my younger brother who is gaga over this MLP thing.
After the Image is drawn on Freezer/Waxpaper (shiny side down)
begin the immensely tedious task of cutting out the image.

This was a 2 layer image so I had to cut out another set for the grey color
Then I ironed the waxy part down on the t-shirt and proceeded to paint it with fabric paint
This was just a mixture of black and white, no need to get a grey color
After it dries --about 15 or so minutes I went over it with another coat of grey.
let it set for another 15 and then gently peel off the wax paper.
Pretty Sweet.
Now for the next image, which will be in white


Again, Iron it on the t-shirt so it sticks and give it two coats of white fabric paint.


Wait a couple minutes for it to dry, and peel.



Ta-da! This should be the end result.
The whole process took me about 4 hours, I get frustrated from time to time but it's worth it in the end.
I still have to go in for some minor re-touches, but other than that it's ready to go!

I need to finish it up before my brother gets back from his night out.
He's so going to flip!


San Japan was pretty effing awesome!
I'm going back tomorrow hopefully.
This time I'm not leaving until I get my turn @ Super Smash Brothers Brawl!
Maybe I'll even enter in the tourney.

Here's a little bit of what I saw today, more to come tomorrow!
Have a good one!

Fun all over your face

I did it!
Winner is in!
dun dun dun!


I made a list of all the comments and put them in a random generator.
These were the results!

Jackson K.!

I'll be sending you a message to get your contact info and shirt size and all that good stuff later.

Congrats to you!


On the Agenda for today:

The best kind of prize is a SURprise


I'll be announcing the winner of the contest in a couple of hours.
Good luck guys :)
I've had a ton of fun reading everything all of you have to say.
I found this really cool website that allows you to make your own Favicon
If you notice, my blog no longer has the orange and white"B" for blogger logo.
It's supposed to be a picture of Kirby from super smash brothers
Can you make it out?

I noticed that a lot of you guys are newbies like me so I though I'd share that so you guys can make your blog a little more personal.

This is what you have to work with. A 16x16 pixel frame
It even gives you a preview of what it will look like.



Once you create it, save it to your computer. it goes in your design tab, on the Favicon box
Like this:


You guys should check it out. Especially you guys with art skills !
I'd like to see what you come up with
Have fun!

Isn't whipped cream if it hasn't been whipped with whips



I miss Photoshop.
I used to do it all the time.
Using PS to mess around with this picture really took be back. I want to get back into it.
I have so much fun.

Make sure you all you guys post something on my previous post for a chance to get a custom made shirt!
(and no, doesn't have to be one of the designs I showed, it can be anything. you pick)
Winner will be announced Friday Aug. 4, 2011
so if you haven't commented already, please do.

People watching is so much fun.
It's even more fun when you have someone to people watch with you.




Chick-fil-a nom nom nom, awesome place to "watch the cows eat"

I decided to try something new @ Starbucks... I'm not sure if I'm ordering incorrectly or maybe that's just the way it is.

I got a vanilla bean frappuccino

It really just tasted like vanilla ice cream.
Their whipped cream makes my mouth feel weird.

What do you guys usually order @ Starbucks, maybe I'll check it out next time.

Feeling creative :)


I recently got into making my own t-shirts!
I've made some for me and some for friends and they've come out pretty damn sweet.
(If I do say so myself...)
Here's a little bit of what I've accomplished so far..


I made this for premiere night of Harry Potter :)
I made these little onesies for my friend's 14 month old baby
I did this as a test run, it came out pretty sweet for my first time...


I decided to have a little contest for all my new friends just to say thanks!

Just post a comment below and tell me what you want on your shirt.
I'll get a random # generator and announce the winner in.. let's say... 3 days?
Let me know what you think, and if you want to participate!
If you win, just choose your shirt size and shirt color and design.
I'll get your address and all that info from you privately.
I'll try my best to do it for you!

Thanks to all of you guys and good luck!

Day by Day.

I'm super lazy.
I have these days where I catch up on everything too fast and I exhaust myself.
Why can't I just do everything little by little like normal people do?
This lack of school is making me dumb.
Yesterday I was talking to M.F and I somehow said "Hard is life" in a sentence and completely missed it... I didn't even correct myself. What I meant to say was life is hard.
And today @ subway I asked for a "footlong italian herbs and cheese on parmesan oregano"
WTF?
The lady told me, uh you just ordered two different breads...
SHIT
Sorry, I meant spicy Italian.
My mind is elsewhere today.
Maybe I'm too tired, I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, but boy was it fun.
I want to make a trip to Borders soon.
They're going out of business... I LOVE that place.. bookstores bring out the best in me. I'm like a kid in a candystore only I'm not a kid and I'm not in a candy store. I'm a college student in a bookstore with too many things on my wishlist.

Tomorrow for sure.
I say that way too much and end up not doing anything "tomorrow" I dont know why I put things off till the last minute. Maybe it's my fear of responsibility.

Picture # 3 Fave Food:
Somtam Pictures, Images and Photos
Thai sweet and sour chicken
I could eat this everyday.... yummo
