MURDER DEATH KILL or Freehand is fun!

Tuesday, May 6, 2003 » art school update

Someone stole half my towels out of the dryer. You have no idea how fury-inducing this is when it's already 2 AM.

On the lighter side of things :D, I finished a new project today. I was introduced to Macromedia Freehand through my print class (finally, some vector software experience), so I thought it might be fun to try to make something with it. Here is the result. I'm pretty happy with it, even if it was a serious pain to do something like this in a vector app after working exclusively in Photoshop. HRUUAHGHG. It was interesting, though. I may try it again in the future. The image is also available in wallpaper form, if you're bored with your current desktop. By the way, I did a horrible, horrible thing in saving the wallpapers and not only saved them in JPEG format, but also edited them several times. I think they're mostly OK, though, unless you look really closely. Also, the 1024 versions are just the larger 1280 versions scaled down and cropped, so they're not quite as sharp. Now I'm going to lose my graphics license for sure.

So I might be going to E3 courtesy of the Huan, who still has the best domain name ever. I didn't really want to mention this until it was a little more guaranteed, (Right now I'd say it's about 60% certain.) but, dude. E. 3.

The only problem with that is THE MATRIX comes out during the same timespan. Currently I think we may do some kind of 12:01 showing thing, if they're doing that around here, but we'll see. THE MATRIX!!!!!!

And now, here it is, your moment of Zen.
