My Contribution To The Ghostbusters Collab, Now Slowly Being Released At Whoyougonnacollab.  I'm In

In response to the current kerfuffle going on in Neil Gaiman's corner of the Internet, the affable @mistressmousey suggested her artist acquaintances draw this elusive creature known as the pencil-necked little weasel.

So sorry, etc.

My BFF Grey has a listing on the Internet Movie Database.

As you may know, if someone listed on IMDb wants to upload a photograph to their listing they need to buy a pro membership on the site.  While I couldn't do that for her, I did the next best thing: I redrew my Fairey-ish portrait of her in smileys, and posted it to her IMDb message board.

I can't help but think the potential of message board smileys as an artistic medium has barely been scratched.

Stupid Twitter trick: 1) Crop an image down to 338x83px (or a multiple thereof.) 2) Slice it out into four 83x83px blocks with 2px gaps in between (or your multiple thereof.) 3) Tweet the images via Twitter's internal photo-uploading gadget, from right-to-left. 4) ??? 5) Profit!

Sharp J-SH04 2001

Manufactured by Sharp for the J-Phone brand, the J-SH04 is generally recognized as the world’s first camera phone.

The J-SH04 innovatively integrated a mobile phone and digital camera, devices many people of the day regularly kept on-hand, into a single unit with the camera functionality integrated into the phone itself.   For the first time, users could use a single device to take digital photos (at a then-impressive 0.11 megapixels) and share them via the mobile network.

The device (and photo-sharing in general) took off among young users and set the model for all future camera phones, devices which forever changed how we take and share photos and document our world.

Leaked Doctor Who production material reveals plans for the Doctor’s hairstyle.

Doodled this in the laundromat whilst my clothes tumbled.

Because we all love visual puns.  Made for b3ta's verbular celebrities image challenge.

Speaking of Doctor Who, care to kick my starter?
