So, I have a new computer desk being delivered to my house tomorrow by Office Max. I just called to find out what time they might be coming, and the lady tells me "between 8a - 5p." And that she can't (won't) narrow it down for me. There goes my whole farkin day! :mumble:

Tell them that you are the MAN and they will be there by 9. I'm sure the weather sucks too much to do anything there anyway.

Yeah thats the way it always goes. Any time I am expecting a package its during a time where I am either at class or want to be riding or something. Its never on a rainy or super snowy day where I have nothing to do.

Afternoon.

I got to drink beer for lab this morning, which was really....um...interesting at 8 am on an empty stomach. Thrilling.

Other than that, just doing some work and trying to take it easy.

I distilled alcohol in Orgo lab like 2 years ago, but we couldn't drink it. Something about if we didn't do it right we could go blind or something:rolleyes:

Straight grain eh? Sounds like an episode of MASH.

Had I known I'd be pounding beers, I'd have brought some good ones from home to drink, instead of the moose piss they had. At least it was on ice.

You're not complaining about drinking beer are you? :confused:

Just the "Labatt crap" aftertaste.

I remember I had an exchange student from Spain in the mid 90's, he LOVED Ace of Base.

I'd cut a rug to it!

jackson, how does one go about creating something like that w/ no jpg/tiff/raw file as a starting material?
Click to expand...
He draws it all. In some cases, he uses photos as a guide... i.e. has a print in front of him that he uses as a "model".

But it's all paths and textures and adjustment layers and everything else. For the big one he unveiled yesterday, he actually built a model to get a feel for spacial relations, shadows, reflections etc. Took him 11 months to do it, it's nuts.

holy crap, he draws that stuff via freehand in photoshop? that's nuts.

why bother, when 99.8% of the people couldn't tell the difference if it was derived from photos or not?

he says on his site that it's not about the end product, it's about the creation. I guess to an extent I can understand that as I like to see what my time/effort results in... but obviously I do nothing like that.
