I haven’t really been in the mood for reading today, so likewise I’m not really in the mood for writing. So, today I thought I’d switch it up a bit. How do pictures and toys sound?

Long story short, about a week ago I decided to invest in four vinyl figures from Kidrobot. The first two figures that found themselves in my cart were theFatcap Series 2 and two Dunny French Series figures would eventually find themselves as the second. This order resulted in me receiving two Fatcap Series 2 toys and two Dunny French Series toys in the mail yesterday. Who would’ve guessed?

I’ve taken quite a few pictures and you can go about seeing them . . . after the jump, of course.

George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday at age 71. The best way I can think of highlighting his life is not rambling on about his achievements, it is a simpler gesture: I’ve uploaded his infamous 1978-Supreme-Court-ruling riff “Seven Words.” The ruling defended the government’s authority to punish stations for broadcasting offensive language. As suggested, for those who have not seen it, the following is not safe for work.

Rest in peace, George, you hilarious bastard.

Today’s world is riddled with the likes of generic, uninventive sitcom humor, and comedy clubs, lurking with comedians who all abide by the same joke-telling formulas aimed at appealing to an audience with a low standard for is considered funny. As cynical, and opinionated as this may sound, it’s quite true, and there is a very sad commentary to be derived from this: Many people would much rather be entertained without having to think. Thankfully, though not everyone thinks this way. There are entire communities of lesser known comics out there who believe that comedy is an art form which should require thought. Here are three of my favorite “alternative comics” who are doing their part to further the art form and bring light to a very dark world.

I’ve been reading up about Spore and it got me doodling and doodling and doodling. A couple of versions later, I got Jeffrey, the fella below. This is the first doodle in a long time that I’ve actually colored - and the first that has been turned into a wallpaper. (Yeah, yeah, I know, another wallpaper) I know I’m no van Gogh, but hopefully some one will enjoy this as much as I did.

As some may know, I love experimenting in Photoshop. Usually my experiments result in a hideous monster that should never see the light of day. Today’s session brought something a bit more “lookable” around. I was so pleased with today’s outcome, that I decided to further it’s development and by about four o’clock I had created my first wallpaper! It’s nothing too special, just a simple abstract, but I liked it. So, I decided to share it with you guys.
