UNSPOKEN RULE

One could argue that if you don't have anything intellgent to say, one shouldn't say anything. If I lived by those rules, I'd never speak! As if I'd do that. HA!

In my ongoing quest to find some cool images, particularly some cool retro things, I started looking at 'Lost in Space'. And not that remake either, the original from the '50s. There is something strangely unsettling about a ambiguously camp older man, and a small boy having 'adventures' while at the same time being turned on by a teenage girl with pointy tits. Very odd.

The girl who played Jane Robinson was Marta Kristen. I was trying to find a good image of her, for design purposes of course! when I came across this image. Don't ask me how they're related?

At any rate, check out the close up. It's hilarious. If someone saw someone else who actually looked like this, they'd be convinced she was a ghost. Smooth skin and delicate features are one thing, this is just crazy. Also note the difference in JPEG noise in her hair and on her eyes (for someone who doesn't know what JPEG noise is, that sounds pretty suss!)... compared to on her face.

Random. JPEG noise, that's genius. Well, I'd better go clean the JPEG noise off of my sheets now

KEEP ON TRUCKIN

I just took a look around at some other blogs. Dang. Dang to the max. My site is 'unique' which is of course mother-talk for shit. Maybe if I added some whizz-bang flash animation, or hired a chimpazee to dance on a web-cam 24-7 things would improve. I think I might relearn flash, html and those other nerdish things... it's been a long while. I tried to put it behind me. But you; the people have demanded, neigh, EARNED it! Yes, for the people, it shall be done!

MY BIG BROTHER LOOKS AFTER ME

Here is MY version of the Big Brother poster. I suppose if you haven't read the book, you might not understand what I'm talking about, or the importance of THE POSTER... but it's absolutely crucial to the story as far as looks go. If I screw this up, I'll screw the rest of it up.

So basically I'm screwed.

But this poster is turning out better than I thought. Keep in mind that this is only a ROUGH SKETCH. I'm just working out the overall look, not focussing on things like good illustration, fonts and text and that goes with that, or anything at all really, just getting the images out of my head.

I think I might add a hand with a finger pointing like Uncle Sam or Kitchener (look that poster up in Google, it's very similar to what Orwell was thinking). And I'm gonna redraw it in Adobe Illustrator.

I like the Russian-esque hand lettering I did. But not in the hand-letter style. I'll redo that too. But the backward R and N is essential to developing a socialist theme. Don't ask me why.

Also, check out the border. It's the moto of INGSOC: War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. Chilling words... now you want to read the book?

Song, Bond Song

Bond
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

What do you think is the best Bond theme song? I'd have to say 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey... but it's a bit old and harsh sounding, so maybe Garbage's 'The World is Not Enough'. Then again Tom Jone's 'Thunderball' is pretty groovy too.

On the opposite end of the scales Madonna's artificial sounding 'Die Another Day' is pretty poor. And as far as Bond themes go 'Live and Let Die' by Wings sounds way to wussy. And 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran is stuck in the '80s. It's good but it's just James Bond good. And don't even get me started on 'We Have All the Time in the World' by Louis Armstrong. Don't get me wrong Satchmo is cool, but he's too Christmas and not Pussy Galore.

A VINTAGE SHIRT WITHOUT COOPER BLACK?

Tricycle
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I'm pushing out of the boundary of accepted scientific truths and into the realm of what legends are made of. How's that for talking yerself up? And it's not even worth it.

Here is another shirt design, which I'm proud to say doesn't have any Cooper Black (a font) anywhere on it! Unfortunately these feat of mine was let down by the fact that: A) I used Bookman [another staple of the 'retro' look] and worse still B) the swash characters (the fancy looking letters) aren't even the genuine Bookman Swash. It was from a font called Brookman...

Luckily! I did completely alter this crappy font, and sorta made it a bit better. I certainly made the other letters fit together better than the stocko version, but more than that I deleted all these superfluious points on the outside of the letters.

Not that most of you would even care, only _one or two people might. But probably only _one.

That's all for now, I'm Elliott Scott, signing off.

OOooooohhhh, its the PARSLEY that made it fancy!

As for the actual illustration goes, here is a rough sort of plan. Depending on my laziness (which is usually in the high levels) I might redo it, or I might just send it in as is.

Not complaining! I love this kind of thing, I think I just need a break for a day or so.

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I went out with Tanner and his girlfriend Melody (or Alice, her name varies, it's cool). It was pretty fun actually. I was expecting it to be hard. Not so much. Sure, when we went to a romantic sorta place it was a bit awkward, but I think she sensed my (obvious) unease and kept it pretty neutral. Which I felt a bit guilty about, but also thankful for.

We went around town causing low-level generic mayhem, as per usual. Nothin too extreme. I had about 10 business cards of mine in my wallet and we put them in random sorts of places. Such as in the windsheild wiper of fancy cars and in girls handbags. Hopefully someone will call (but not in an angry way). It'd be rather cool if someone offered me a job, or a chick wanted to go out. Both unlikely but still possible.

So yeah I acted the fool, I suppose in a subconcious but now concious way to compensate for not being the emotional center of attention that used be when me, Tanner and MY girlfriend went out.

Not that I'm complaining, or upset or anything.. nothing like that. It was just different. But good too. I like hanging out like that. Three is better than two. Not that Tanner isn't a great friend, he is, it's just the more the merrier.

We also went to the park. Yeah, weird, late at night playing on the swings and whatnot. Bizarre. I dunno. Fun though.

So I'm gonna do another shirt using the image on the right. Or above, depending on where it is to this text... duh. Also even though I haven't even finished Mondayne3 yet, I have BIG plans for turning George Orwell's 1984 into a graphic novel. Ideally I'd like to be paid, and have it published and be legally be allowed to use the name and story, but that ain't gonna happen. No way sistah!

I need big shiny things with crazy colors and eye-catching wizz-bang effects.

When it comes to icons I am plain no good. But let me ask you this; What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? ME!

On the plus side, I've gotten pretty skilled at using a laptop trackpad. Yeah, that's right folks, I used a trackpad to draw this.

REMOVAL

I just removed a post of mine. I said that I'd be happier this year, and I am gonna keep trying. This blog has ended up replacing a physical journal I kept for a while, and because of that it contains some private stuff that was never actually intended to be read. I know, I know, it will be read... so perhaps I shouldn't have posted it. I wish no-one read it. But someone did; Terin. He was (I mean: IS [he's not dead]) my first friend. And somehow, even after not seeing him for 13 years he's still a good friend. He usually gives me some good advice, and I thank him for that. So he read the post, said some nice things, some inspiring things... but nonetheless, I still wish I hadn't have posted it in the first place. A moment of weakness. I have to many of them, I'd better start controlling myself more.

Model
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I know I'm an idiot, you don't to tell me... Does anyone else choose hair dye colors based on the model? No, well... yeah. I wanted to dye my hair last week, to something other than black. So I choose the color, a browny blondey color. The model on the front certainly influenced my choice. But the stupid this was, by me dying my hair, was I expecting to be more attractive to her? or to look like her? Both are equally stupid.

Anyway, it was an utter disaster, my hair still had black dye in it, so that part stayed black, and the roots were bright orange... really weird. So it's black to normal now...

PS. Does anyone know the name of this model? Probably not huh? Seeing as though only a tiny handful of people actually read this site...

Minor adjustments. Moved the 'me' over a little, it was a bit too close before. Removed some of the bubbles, they were too cluttered, and adjusted the colors. Not sure what color the shirt should be actually, I'm not a big fan of white, and the image doesn't work well on anything dark, this might be a bit too dark. Although I reduced the contrast between dark and light areas, and think that looks a bit better.

Every week Elliott (who I am) goes through a little crush. This weak [spelt wrong on purpose] it's the iPod shuffle model. She's cute. Although perhaps a bit to Jennifer Garner-ish, with the strong chin. But she has an iPod! My emotions are all confused!? Anyway, a random and pointless post.

i'd like to shuffle her iPod. Or something like that?? So at any rate; if you're reading this iPod shuffle model, do you want to go out some time? I think you're cute, and shirley you must think I'm cute [just look at that sexy cartoon of me!]

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I heard back from the shirt people; FINALLY! They've finalised which designs they want, but with three of them they want some changes. I need some help. Seriously!

Actually I was kinda suprised too, I thought they would have chosen different designs to what they did; the 'Long Neck' one and the 'Wyoming' one aren't amoungst my favourites. I liked the 'Boom Box' and 'Bleh Shoe' and 'Pop Rock' ones. But apparently there were some copyright issues or something. Yeah right.

Well at any rate, I NEED some help with the designs for the 'Prostitute Sucks', 'Eat Out' and the 'Parsely' (which I think is fine, but anyway)

I'd like some suggestions. If you have any, whether you think they're good or not, please send them to me. I NEED them. I can't stress that enough.

I got lappy back yesterday. It was great. We went out for a romantic dinner, had some wine, got frisky, and went to bed. (Yes, I am talking about a laptop, it's sad I know)

ON THE UPSIDE

i had another dream about her. this one was similar to all the others. but different in several key ways:

1. she was beautiful. in most of my dreams about her she's nice looking, cute and all that, how she really looks, but this time she was beautiful. i had never seen her look more radiant. her eyes sparkled, her hair was perfect, she was absolutely wonderful. she was perfect.

2. i went to her place. which is where i always go. i used to live there too. it was my old apartment in spring hill, and where things were best, and worst between us. and i was in her bed. we were lying down. it was basically like the last time i saw her. but last time i got up and left on a sour note, this time she did the talking.
"elliott, i love you. I'm sorry about all the hurt i've caused. i miss you. i want to get back together with you."
i was shocked. it was what i wanted. "i want you to move back in", she said.
"no. i can't do that. i love you too. i always have loved you, but i can't move back in. we need to figure this out, and not just rush back in."

then i woke up.

i was happy. it was one of those dreams that are soo real, that you beleive them. except this didn't happen. and it wasn't very real at all! it was realistic, but not real.

i'm not sure if i'm upset that much anymore. writing this now is sorta gettin' me down, but not really. thinking about her can make me upset, but i can shrug it off pretty quickly. but i still can't escape from her in my dreams. every night i dream of her. EVERY NIGHT! it's like some sort of torture. so if you wonder why i won't just let it go, or just stop thinking about her, it's because i physically can't. i actually can't stop thinking about her. every single day i think of her. i don't want to, i don't like it, i don't want to dwell, or depress you guys, or be depressed myself, but i can't stop.

well, that's about all i can say. i don't really expect any sort of response from yuo guys. i don't want sympathy, or some reassuring words, or a hug or anything like that. i just type, and if you learn a bit more about me, that's good.

thanks for the support over the last year and a bit, it means a lot.

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

lino, for the sake of me not always agreeing with you, and you always being right (which is usually the case) i'm gonna have to disagree with you in part. i totally agree with using a blambot font, but perhaps not the one you suggested. letter-o-matic is too curvy, too fat, and it seems just not right. i thought i had downloaded it, but i actually didn't. i think i might use either 'anime ace' or 'digital strip'. i'm leaning pretty heavily to DS, i like the slant in the letters. that seems right for a comic to me.

but again; i'm usually wrong. but do continue to comment, suggest or just plain rip me to shreds as need be. i appreciate everyones comments. and without some gentle prodding with a proverbial cattle prod i would have been eating in the crap-work pastures.

i went up to brisbane yesterday, to do some research for the comic; visit the locations in the comic, as well as go to the uni's library and get some textures. it went well. didn't rain as i had hoped though.

but it was a good day. i got a lot of work done. i caught the 6.ooam train from helensvale, got to the city at 7.00 and wandered around all day, or untill 1.30pm when Tanner called.

at any rate, the comic is coming along nicely. and just to re-iterate, it's about a day i had about a year ago. not just me making out with the chick at the coffee shop. that's only one frame, on one page out of 15. i just chose to do that one first, because it's most critical. it has to be drawn the best. so i drew it before i got sick of drawing....

This drawing is definitely the most difficult to do, and to balance the line between art and porn, and also the most embarrasing to have people look at. So instead of hiding it away, not drawing attention to it, or even leaving it out entirely, i thought i'd boldly show it to you guys.

as i said, it's hard to judge whether it's over the line in suss-ness. at first the girl at the cafe in my fantasy:(which this drawing is of) was in a suss pose. i didn't like that, it was too vulgar. it's not about sex, but love. so i put her in an embrace with me (yay!) instead. i don't really care too much about sex, it want romance. but she's in her little undies, because i find that sexy, and i wanted some sex appeal. what would a comic be without at least one scantly-lad chick?

take note of her skin, it's lace. i'm gonna finish the background, adding some more textures, a better chair, and a table....

Don't worry, most of it isn't in the Jpanese CHIBI style, also called 'super deformed'. Only when I start blabbering on about my day to Dermot do I look like this.

i've also decided to shade the characers, and to use color throughout (the previous version was black and white), but i will only use minimal color, or where appropriate large amounts of color (such as the cafe)...

the theme for the comic's graphic style will be CAREFUL. everything will be carefully done, and with thought. that being said, my drawing skills are somewhat weak, so who knows how it will be overall.

Logo
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

Forget the generic blue box, forget the colors, even forget the use of futura light (I like it's geometricness, but maybe a bit too thin).... LOOK AT THE LOGO.

What do you think? Does it make sense? Can it be read easily enough? Is it unique.. those sorts of things. Then look at the text. Does that make sense? In particular the word "design" and the "&" are they understandable?

What would work better?

I'm trying to come up with my logo. I want it to include me initials. I also wanted it to me similar to a monogram. This might be a bit modern. I wanted a cool old school one, but maybe that's not appropirate. As we know, type is not my thing. I don't know type. I don't play with type. This is my first attempt, so cut some slack as far as perfecting it optically and all the technical stuff.

It's the idea man.....

My plan is falling perfectly into place. First the blog, then POLAND!

OH! Hello, I didn't see you there. Heheheh... HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR!?

Anyway, I got paid Centrelink today, and got an email from QUT warning (warning?) me that I will be getting paid tonight. The full $500 too, no tax deducted (deduced?) Which is good.

All I need now is:
-an email from the t-shirt people and the book people in Malaysia? (Oh crap)
-a Swedish supermodel girlfriend
-my private jet
-an army full of goosestepping fools
THEN I CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

PS. I think I need a new name, something more "All hail/heil the great and powerful _______", not so much "Hey look it's Elliott, let's steal his lunch money!"

I recently deleted a post I had up, because I didn't like the way the comments were going. If I've upset, annoyed, insulted anyone, I apologise, that is never my intention.

I think I said some stuff without fully knowing what I was talking about, and that is wrong,.... in a way. But this sight isn't intended to be correct really. At the rist of sounding arrogant, maybe even megalomaniacal; this is my site, and I say my stupid thoughts. MOST of the time they're dumb, ill-thought-out, pointless babble. I like that.

So in closing *as I pace the keyboard*, I am an idiot. Don't take anything too seriously. Just humour me and laugh at me lame jokes. Or email me an argument. Not public. This is a blog of love. Can't you feel the love?! I can, it's dribblin down my chin right now.

When Elvira first told me about fat pie, I was expected some dodge porn site... instead it was the creepiest things known to man. And created by man. David Firth.

The schzitzofrenic (can't spell) adventures of young Salad fingers. He's a person I guess, who loves rusty things, and in particular rubbing them. And 'when the red water comes out'.

I strongly recommend checking the videos out, but be warned; they are very weird. Watch at night with the lights out and sound a bit louder than comfortable, or a bit quieter. CREEPY

Wait, there's a reason for that title....
Six degree's of seperation...
It's a Ken doll in the profile, Barbie, on scrubs Elliott is called Barbie. Thats the story I'm sticking too.

ANYWAY... I created a profile for my MSN-ness. I dont know what people do with it, but its there. and rather stupidly amusing in typical makes-no-sense Elliott fashion.

Under the about me section I put:
"I DO ACTUALLY HAVE GENITALS. Oh baby, do I ever!"

That pretty much sums it all up.
IESSSSSOOOOOOO much!

GET FOCKED

I went to the movies with Tanner; Meet the Fockers. As expected me make many-a-fock joke. As we walk into the theatre I yell out pretty loudly "OH FOR FOCK SAKE!" Nobody laughs, there are children present. I laugh, and so does Tanner.

Movie finishes, we walk out of the theatre and straight into The Incredibles.

We leave when it's over and grab a burger at Hungy's. At the counter ordering a MILF is standing next to me. Tanner dares me to tell one of the kids the mom is hot. I can't resist a dare, but this one is pretty awkward. I decline and sit down. I JUMP UP, run over to the kid, he's standing next to his mom, I give up.

A man walks over to the mom, the kids have seperated, nows my chance. I run over, tap the kid on the shoulder, he looks at me, I'm about to speak, and the mom looks at me too. DAMN! I can't very well tell the kids his mom is a fox when she is looking at me.

I walk away. THIS [ ] close. If I was a bigger man, I would have told the kid his mom was hot anyway, and said "Yeah, that's right, you're hot!" to the mom. But I'm not a big man. I'm a little tiny man.

Maybe next time. I will not give up the dream of making an ass of myself. (Which I DON'T do, so don't tell me I already do).

IESSO.
PS. The mom wasn't actually that hot, Tanner just dared me, so I had to do it.

THE FINAL PIECE OF THE CRAZY PUZZLE

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I had a dream. A dream that revealed an obvious, yet wholy frightening aspect of my persona. You guys probably all noticed it and didn't say anything for the sake of my sanity (and rambling).

You all know the 'type' of chicks I like; fresh-faced, brunette, petite (thin and short really). It's really obvious, and not very selective, if you fit this description; RUN! No, seriously.

For a while I thought it was coincidence. Then I thought it was me trying to get back with my ex (she fit this description perfectly). Perhaps it was me trying to fill the void she left in my heart.

I realised something. Someone else fits that description; MY MOM! Oh dear god I am a sick bastard. Don't worry, I didn't have a sex dream about my mom. I had a dream that I went back in time to when my parents were younger.

Am I truly crazy? Oedepal and all? Or do most people do this to some extent. I heard chicks look for guys similar to their fathers. Is that only a chick thing? Or if guys do the same with their mothers are they insane? I'm not one of those Norman Bates, "yes Mother" type people.....

I like this saying, and I want to make something out of it, but I can't think of anything. Hand lettering and some sleep might work. But what about illustration? I wanted this one to be girly. And sorta retro, because that's not exactly a modern phrase. Writers block. If only I was a writer. THAT'S IT!
Nope, I lost it.

If you can't read the text, as I suspect you can't, it says: "Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses". I love that. I wonder if I wore glasses, I'd get chicks making passes. ... because it works in reverse you see.... uh...

Nevermind. ES signing ... off?

NO RESPECT I TELL YA

I am somewhat annoyed at QUT. Those bastards! They lost my invoice. All this time, the waiting the stress, the hating to borrow money, but had to anyway, they lost my invoice! And the person who lost it hung up on me. "There's nothing I can do" she said. CLICK. Ug.
Well I called the account department. Straightened things out. Will be payed in a few days. It takes 48 hours to pay. I've waited at least 48 days. Not happy at all. Griffith is WAY more organised. WAY!

But that's only half the story. I first had to track down the person. I called the switchboard to help me find her, and instead of connecting me, they hung up. And then they did connect me to her, but she wasn't there. She has been replaced. And the person doesn't know what I'm talking about. So I probably won't get payed. But there is actually two people with the same name at the uni! I've been talking to the wrong one. I get connected to the right one, she is rude, hangs up on me. Blah blah.

It's all sorted. I've been treated like a schmuck, but at least it's all sorted out now. It'd make good stuff on the blog at any rate. I decide to type it all up, include a picture of Rodney Dangerfield, with the subject heading "NO RESPECT". But that doesn't work. It takes me ages to find a picture. I get one. I upload it to Flickr. Doesn't work. Something is wrong with the site or something. I dunno.

So basically nothing worked properley, but I got there in the end. But not without making some sacrifices, like money for 2 months, and Rodney's bug eyes staring at you. Story of my life, no respect I tell ya.
