A moment and a half

Inspired by Hyperbole And A Half
Moments are strange creatures which are closely related to the giraffe and the llama. Unlike the Alot, Moments are not a type of Commonus Typolus, although they both share one common ancestor: the Dictionary. This makes them cousins.

It is often confusing when somebody talks about a moment, because it is unclear whether they are talking about a point in time, or the creature itself. Here are some examples:












I once had a moment, but the moment passed. Does anyone else have a moment?

A straw berry

I made this strawberry out of (Edit)10 straws. Didn't have to cut any of them. I highly doubt it tastes just as good as a real strawberry though.

New Project: Goodfiti

This is a project I originally started last year but did not accomplish as much as I wanted to. Then winter came and I put it aside. I'm bringing it back now, with a new name too.

You can probably guess from the name that this isn't your typical graffiti project. Here in Brampton, there is quite a bit of graffiti around, especially in hidden areas like under bridges or around bike paths. Some of the messages I see in the graffiti really disgust me. A lot of them consist of dirty things, swear words, drugs, and really stupid things in general. Occasionally the city paints over these places, but the graffiti always comes back.

What I want to do is replace all the bad graffiti with good graffiti. Things with positive messages and insightful meanings.

If you'd like to participate, you can definitely join me if you live in Brampton (I doubt the majority of you even know where that is!).

But even if you're far, I need your ideas!

I am looking for positive words, insightful phrases, meaningful quotes, and even pictures (that would be easy to outline) to stencil out and spray paint!

Leave your thoughts in a comment, or e-mail me.

I'm A Rock Star

It's quite simple, but I wanted to enter this as a threadless shirt design. I gave up after I realized how much I lack photoshop knowledge. Maybe if I just find one of these rocks, it'll make the work a little easier..

Maybe if I ever buy some decent paints and brushes and pens, I will re-draw this.

Today I decided to share a secret. Of course, not in text though!
