MINOR TECHNICAL CHANGES
For the sake of me being able to sleep at night and not worrying about stupid little things I'm not happy with in my designs, I've made a few changes. Let's see if you spot them....
Oh who am I kidding, even if you cared [which I'm sure you don't] they're so small it's no fun even trying. I've added a white box under the limited offer, i deleted a line on CMao's nose and I've replaced the faux-Chinese words with REAL Chinese words. It says:
Mao-nnaise and 100% Fat Free
Booyah! Nothing like friends who speak other lanuages. Thanks Will!

why-did-i-buyPod?
In the history of Elliott spending his money on stupid crap he didn't need, the iPod shuffle is right up there. It's just a smaller version of the perfect iPod I have now... except it doesn't have a screen, it only holds 100 songs and it's extremely easy to loose. So why did I buy it? And why am I smiling? It is the coolest thing EVER! It's so small, it's the size of a pack of gum. And weighs less than the headphones that come with it! And the battery lasts ages! And in any given trip I'd most likely want to only listen to a particular playlist, and my playlists are never longer than 6 hours.
So basically it is groovy. I reckon everyone should have one, whether they've got an iPod or not, they're cool. I'm gonna buy some for my parents. They'd like that!

I GOT LAZY WITH THE JAR
This one is just for _you. No Rosewood anywhere to be seen, and best of all it's an Asian pun. Ha ha ha! Ah, miso solhry. PS. Read the LIMITED OFFER!
Oh and I bought an iPod shuffle today. It's cute. It's tiny. It's entirely pointless, it's just like every other Apple product! ^_^ WAH!

100% GENERIC
This is more a test than any real attempt for artistic expression. Last time I submitted a generic American state shirt, and they bought it. This time is a generic quirky resturant shirt. Let's see what they think.
Before I send it in I'm gonna change the typeface, I am sick of Rosewood. I miss my fonts. They may be shit, but they were my friends.
IESSO
PS. Yes, I am aware that none of the 3 elements of the resturant go together at all: Arab culture, pizza and polish food.

SAME OL' FUN
I'm just making sure everyone knows my new and improved (slightly) email address:
mondayne [at] gmail.com
I dont want any spam, so I didn't type it in properly, but you can replace the spaces, brackets and the word 'at' with an actual @ symbol. It's easy. Even a team of monkeys could work it out. And shirley you're smarter than a team of monkeys! Shirley. No, not howler monkeys, but other kinds of monkeys. Yeah, ok, not Golden Marmosets either, but most other monkeys. Ok, you're right, none of the lemurs either, but SOME monkeys you've got to be smarter than.

DESIGN SLUTS MAKE MONEY
Hey. I heard back from the shirt people. They want another 5 designs at least... and probably an on-going thing every month or so another 5. Which rocks!
So I guess that goes to show _ even though I may be a slut, and pander to the lowest common denominator (politcal america state shirts) I am still making money. I'll be an artist once I have some money together, at the moment ... 'wanna party?! Sucky sucky 5 dollah'. I don't care.
Besides, the designs aren't THAT bad... the Texas at least looks strong, and the contrast is good. And the Meanpeace one is just plain silly. So :^P --- Put that in your high-and-mighty pipe and smoke it!

THIS DON'T CONCERN YOU!
This post is 'specially for Glen. He's a longtime reader who never posts any comments.
HEY DUDE! What? I can't hear you? You should post a comment.. I just thought you might like this. I did. Lego is 'mad'.
Also, your brother Stephen (aka. Glen's brother), must think I'm a total dork. I kept calling him Glens brother, refusing to call him by his name, even though I remembered it and everything. And I was over exaggerating myself, trying to keep everyone excited about uni, which was really boring. [He was one of the newbies at uni the other day, he was in my group of kids] BUT I've got a thing for his new friend: Kirsty [the girl with the glasses] so he'll be seeing a lot more of me in the near future.
Thats all. Everyone else can stop pretending they weren't reading now.

THOSE CRAZY FRENCH, AND THEIR REVOLUTIONS
This is my first image, and first blog with the iMac. My powerbook is in the shop getting a new DVD burner and I'm G4-less at the moment. To paraphrase James McKenzie: "I'm totally G3 right now".
So yeah, about yesterday: It was a big LLLLOOOOONNNNGGGG day. I left my house at 5am. I'd already been awake for 18 hours ar that stage, and got to the uni at 8.30. We played a game to see who could spot the newbies, and what degree they were in. The designers were most pretentious looking, and the fine artist looked (and smelled) like hippies.
So yeah, things were crazy unorganised. We got our groups together, Linus and me were half heartedly fighting for the hot chicks. And we started our shenanigans. There were some cuties in my group let me tell you! One chick with glasses, and on with messy hair. Hot to the MAAAXXXX!
Anyway blah blah blah. I finally got to leave.
I was at the train station. And I somehow lost my phone. NOT COOL! I tried calling it. No answer. I called again and again, getting through and then hung up on. So someone had it! I sent an SMS to tell them I'd give em $50 to give it back. No such luck. I called Optus, barred the SIM and locked the phone. No one can use my phone ever again. A bit of poetic justice.
So I was stressed and tired. I had a cigarette. It was windy. I couldn't see the flames. I burnt my finger. Not too bad, but annoying nonetheless.
I bought a new 200GB hard drive for the iMac. I wanted to use it as a HDD, I'm not really gonna use it as a computer, I don't normally have much need for it! But as a HDD it'd be good. I talked to the Apple techincians, they said I could put whatever size I wanted in.. so I did. Only 128GB works though. I paid shitloads more for a 200 and only 128 can be read!!! ANNOYING. But at least 128GB works. It'll have to do. Better than nothing. BUT of course Mac OSX 10.3 won't install. Only 10.2. Ok sure, its 0.1 of a difference. But its a hell of a difference. It runs a lot slower in 10.2 and its not as functional. And it just ain't as pretty lookin. SO that's annoying.
I'm gonna return the hard drive. Unless anyone wants one? 2ooGB; 7200rpm, for AU$190 it works fine, and its a good brand, but its not 100% compatable with OLD macs. It'll work perfectly with a new mac or a PC of any age (except for REALLY old ones, from back in the day before hard drives)
You know what's weird though!? I had a SHITTY day yesterday. REALLY shitty. Lots of little annoying things and some big annoying things, which cost me a lot of mony, after all of that, I was still in a good mood. Maybe it was because I was awake for 40 hours again, or maybe it was just good. ... but I was happy.
I just thought I should point it out that I was actually happy for once, even despite the circumstances. I'm in a positive mood. Maybe the drugs are working, or maybe I'm starting to get better, but things might be on the up.
And flirting with the cuties might have helped. I'm suprised the words 'sexual harassment', 'gross misconduct' or 'restraining order' weren't uttered. It was that bad. I think they could smell the sickly sweet cologne I was wearing, it's called Desperation by Kalvin Clien.
That's all for now. I think this was the longest post yet. I'm Elliott Scott, siging off.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING MAN?
I've got to wake up in an hour to go to uni. I'm supposed to be showing the newbians how to get around the campus, and whats what in the design degree, and just general tips on what uni is like. So what do I do? Not go to bed of course. Yes, I am a fool. Now I'm gonna be tired all day. AND worse still, I'm gonna be delirously tired... the kind of tired where I just randomly utter words.. and to make it all worse; I was planning on hitting on the first year chicks (who are young, niaive and sexy [or so I assume]) but I've got major eye-baggage. So it'll be sunglasses for me all day. And instead of being the cool guy who always wears sunnies... I'll be the weird guy who doesn't take the glasses off. BOOYAH!

AND THE WORLD ROLLS ITS EYES, YET AGAIN
Well I'm backing on speaking terms with my ex. I got a package from her a week or two ago. I sent her an SMS to thank her. She responded yesterday with an SMS. In my self pity state of Valentines sent her an email. Nothing sad, just a SHORT message, saying "Lisa. Nothing gets chocolate out. From Ralph" and included an attactment of the 'Let's BEE friends' card on the simpsons. She wrote me back an email just before. And I got a call from her, but she hung up when I answered.
So all in all... it's an entirely stupid situation. And yes, the pathetic saga once again continues. Its like a really lame horror movie plot: JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER! The killer isn't dead from the knife in the back, the gasoline poured all over him, the fall from 100ft, the ravenous wolves, etc etc.
I'm not upset. YET. Rather I've got that hopeful optimism that I normally get... why did she call? Does she want to get back together, etc etc. Time and time again I get my heart broken by her, because I fall into the same trap. And even though I'm concious of my stupidity, I'm still stupid. At least I get stronger and more resilient each time. I'm like a bacteria. And she's a pathogen. I'm become immune! Soon I'll be able to take over the world. Or at least my emotions.
And a special note for Lino. Don't worry buddy. I won't mope around or anything... and I won't be overly optimistic. I don't know if I'm even attracted to her anymore. I am bound to her, but whether that's an attractive, or a dependancy is still in question.
And that's all for now. No lectures, no insight into my life, no advice. I'm reporting my life, not complaining about it.
IESSO
PS. THIS IMAGE is a drawing I did a while ago for a t-shirt. I chose it because it looked interesting. I liked her strange sad expression. When I finished it I was horrified. It looked EXACTLY like my ex... I mean EXACTLY!!! A coincidence? Or my subconcious!?

iHAVE the POWER
Yes, that doesn't quite make sense. But whatever. Tanner traded me his old iMac for a belt buckle today. I know, it was a bit of a one sided trade, that belt buckle was awesome! The iMac is crazy slow, can barely run photoshop and takes up most of my desk, but its totally worth it! IT ROCKS! Its a big frosted white and aqua dinosaur! SCHWEET.
Speaking of Tanner, every once in a while he says something so stupid, so ill-thought out, its just gots to be funny:
"NOW F*CK MY MOUTH!" (To be used as an exclamation, similar to "We'll; I'll be damned") He meant to say what they say in Team America, "NO I'M NOT FROM HOLLYWOOD, NO I DON'T HAVE A MOVIE DEAL, AND NO, I DON'T WANT TO F*CK YOUR MOUTH" and also "NOW SUCK MY COCK!" but combined them together in the worst possible way.
Also:
"OH YEAH!? WELL SCREW THE ARC D'TRIUMPH! I'LL BUILD THE ARCH OF TRIUMPH!" This doens't translate too well in type but the first word is pronounced "tree-umph" and the second "try-umph".
LASTLY BUT NOT LEASTLY:
I got the Czech today. And by that I mean cheque. Tomorrah, I'm gonna go to the bank and cash that bastard, and soon I'll be rollin in money. Literally? Figuratively? Who knows!

STUPID THOUGHTS
I just saw Saturday Night Live with Jennifer Garner, normally I didn't think she was that atttactive... but on this show; WOW! She was hot hot hot.
Oh, and something about a whale or something. Let's focused here people! I think it's because she was girly girly... not mannish like she normally looks. I admit being partial to the girly girls, I'd prefer cute to hot. Like, totally. Oh-ma-god, fer-real.

HAND JOBS
For better or worse, these three images have handlettering. I plan on retracing them in Adobe Illustrator, but for now, you get the idea.
I can't find fonts that I want, or they're too difficult to tweak so much, so I needed to "take matters into my own hands". If you want something done your way (not nessesarily right) you've got to do it yourself. And other such masturbation jokes.

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
My good friend Dermo suggested this pun. I'm not sure when or how it was made up, but it was certainly a while ago. I think we might have been watching Matrix 3: The Shittening. This is the beginning of the pun legacy. Only now have I been able to shirtify it. Of course, this is only a rough idea. I had the Matrix font, but it was completely illegible.. and Keanu is so much more than Neo. He's also in Point Blank, ... uh... Bill and Ted's BJ (Bojus Journey not BlowJob) and shirley much more...

BUT WE KNEW THAT ALREADY DIDN'T WE?
I just took one of those generic emotional tests that you find on the internet. I'm pretty sure they're at least 95% reliable, so my results would be almost certainly accurate.
My strength is: AGREEABILITY. That seems more like a weakness than a strength. But what do I know? I take generic internet tests!
My weakness is: EMOTIONAL STABILTY. I'm not even going to pretend to be suprised with this one. If you've been reading this blog for the last couple months you'd've noticed that I jump around in emotions a lot, even from post to post.
Guh.

CARDINAL SIN
Forgive me _father for I have sinned. ... I squashed a typeface again today. I am so ashamed.
ANYWAY
Terin suggested this idea, because he's so very sick of the Star Whores hype and hysteria surrounding the third and final episode. Personally I'm looking forward to finding out what happens, but hey, I'm and consumer whore! [and how]
But I do agree with him, it's done to death, it's over, LET IT GO! The image is a direct rip-off of the real logo for Ep3, but of course the wording changed from "Revenge of the S I T H" to what's written here.
That be all for now. I'm working on a design about "Living in a van, down by the river". If you haven't seen the Saturday Night Live sketch, you won't get the joke, but if you have, it's a classic.
Yeah, or there is this version, which is more punnishing (it's a pun) and the whatnots. SO if you're into thinking, being confused, or not into swearing, theres an alternative version. PLUS it looks more like the real version....

SHE'S STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME ISN'T SHE?
We're standing at the design office. One of us is talking on the phone to a teacher. The conversation for the rest of us is about a certain teacher, whom we'll call J Butler, no, that's too obvious, Jane B. Anyway; We're talking about her. And I go on about how I HATE her. She's a bitch, etc etc, and how she made me cry (she really did: it was before I changed to design from multimedia, and it was why I changed as well) "I hate that bitch!" I says over and over again. My friends are looking at me in horror. The secretary of the design office is pointing to the phone.
"She's on the phone", they say. "So?", I know she [thinking they're talking about my friend] "NO! Jane is on the phone!"
OH CRAP.
I have a tendency to f*ck myself over when it comes to teachers, or just life in general. I think Jane might have had an idea that I REALLY don't like her, and wanted her to burn in hell, I'm pretty certain she overheard me voice my hatred last year... but this time it's pretty certain she heard me. CRUD.
OH WELL! I do dislike her, and at least she knows why now. Yes, she made me cry. Telling a student their work is (and I quote) SHIT! without offering any explanation or reasons why it was shit [which isn't a very nice word anyway] is just plain mean. I'm not saying that I can't take criticism: I can, I just would prefer criticism to be voiced in a constructive way. ESPECIALLY coming from a teacher! AND I don't think it was shit anyway!
REMEMBER: This is the VERY FIRST thing I ever did in illustrator. I reckon it's pretty good even now, let alone a first try. Ok sure, the lettering isn't that crash hot, but you have to keep in mind that we were never taught typography in multimedia. It certainly isn't plain shit.

S of a B
Two things are making me annoyed at the mo'
1. My internet is going CRAZY slow. It boggles the mind how slow its going.
2. I didn't get paid for those illustrations. I was supposed to have gotten paid. I didn't. And now I'm XTREMELY broke. TO THE X-TREME! I have a whopping $0.06 in my bank account. WOW! It hurts. My account is hungry, its tummy is rumbling.
It Gorac. It want food.
So yeah, I'm a bit P'd O. Hopefully tomorrey I'll be paid. and at the end o'the month my internet speed will be back to normal. AND hopefully my phone won't but cut off because I haven't paid the bill. It's about a week over due now. Shirley they send a second notice, then a third, then a final, and then the hands on service that can only be offered by hired goons.
Hired goons?

CLOSE TALKER
Here is one of MANY different illustrations I'm to do for a hospitality textbook for Southbank Tafe. I dunno. They like the silliness (which is suprising, and really groovy) and the Asian styled character. So yeah, it may be boring to look at, but at least there are about 50 of them!
And I've got to do some photoshopping, and best of all: COVER DESIGNS! WOW! You know what that means, I'll have moved from the realm of mere t-shirt drawer guy, to the magical world of textbook cover maker*
*Notice the lack of words like 'artist', 'designer' 'illustrator'. Those terms are for adults, or skilled folk. I'm not sure where I lie in that split.
So yeah anyway, here is a mathematical expression to explain it all in stupidgerbra:
B + E + P = ~2500CC
B - Boring assignments
E - Ease of drawings
P - Patience
CC - Sound of cash registers "Chick-ching"

ACHOO CHOO CHOOSE YOU
What holiday would be complete without a word from "Mr Come-down" himslef; Elliott.
Actually this year it's not so bad. I was a bit saddened when I woke up, but that soon passed. And I thought a lot about life and all that, and then I went out and had fun. It was altogether an alright day. Way better than last year, which I stayed in my room and cried.
But secretely I was watching my phone, waiting for my Lisa to send me a Valentines message of a train. Alas it never happened, I didn't expect it to, but an admirer is always nice. I have a crush on someone (or I did anyway) and I wish I had the courage to tell them...
That's all. No tears. IESSO

I LOVE LUCID (Yet another lucid dream post)
That's right, another lucid dream. After the party I wasn't feeling so crash hot, so I had a nap the next day. I'm beginning to think there is a relationship between stomach aches and lucid dreams.
So anyway the dream starts out normal enough. I was with some friends, we were going to go camping. At first it was to somewhere with a warm climate, then a cold one, then warm, then cold... it kept switching, but that's not too important. What's important is: I was bored. The girls were talking a while to choose clothes for the trip (somehow we were in a shopping mall) I went down stairs to the mens clothing level. I jumped down the stairs and instead of landing, I flew. I WAS DREAMIN! And I was flying, which always seems to happen in my lucid dreams. I went through the clothes, down the stairs, and went into the emergency stairwell. There was a girl there, a beautiful girl, with GOLDEN HAIR (not brown for the first time ever) and a green coat that had been knitted together {I think they're sexy}, She was mysterious. She didn't say anything, she kept going down the stairs. I floated down the stairs after her.
She was going through a door at the bottom of the stairs, and she turned around to look at me. She smiled sweetly, and went through.
She then began going up more stairs. I kept thinking to myself, 'What does this mean?', 'What am I trying to tell myself?', 'What is the message? Why a golden haired woman?', Why this, why that...
I got to the top of the stairs, and I fell over the edge. I wasn't afraid, because I could fly remember, I just spin around, and was now upside down. I saw a mirror. Or maybe it was a figure, I'm not sure, but for some reason I KNEW it was me, as an older man. I had glasses, and white hair, and it didn't really look like me, but it was me! And it scared me. It scared me so badly. I started screaming, uncontrolably screaming. I think I might have screamed in real life too. I had to wake up. And as simple as thinking that, I did.
I woke up, swore to myself that I'd remember the story, and write it down. I didn't write it down, and I very nearly forgot it. But there you go. A semi-lucid dream. I was aware I was dreaming, but I wasn't in control. It was definitely a dream of meaning, but what? HELP ME figure it out. If you've got some theories, lemme know.

YOGHURT
At the risk of sounding like one of those new-age-hippy-freaks or a middle-aged-English-woman I tried YOGA this morning, and without any exaggeration, it was the best thing I've ever done. I feel calmer and more relaxed, I feel sore but in a good way, and my muscles got a good workout. AND muscles I didn't even know existed got a good workout.
I recommend it for people (like me) who are too lazy to go running, or don't want a vigorous workout, but still a difficult workout. And let me tell you, those skinny chicks on TV who looked like they can't do anything, but they are SOOOOO flexible and strong, I am so weak.
So yeah, I recommend _some people to do it. It'll be good for _you.

THE Shot
I think this is THE shot of the party. Its a bit of a shame about the hose in John's face, but it's still a good shot anyway. I'm very glad I didn't ruin my camera, when I took it into the water... a risky move, but I think it payed off.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTERRIFIC!
Here is an idea I've been mulling around in my head for a while. It's for everyone's favourite disgruntled musician; Angry. He asked me/ I offered to help him develop a logo for his band.
And this is what I've come up with.
I'm not keen on this font yet, I wanted something nicer, more geometric, like a superhero would have... but I haven't developed it yet. So gimme a breka.
But the logo is OBVIOUSLY based on the superman logo. It's about the most Super thing there is. And coincidentally the shape of the S resembled a chickens head in profile. I played around with a few ideas, and this being the simplest is perhaps the best. I can't show you the others; I burnt them! In the great fire of ought 5.
The colors are cool, but not the most legible, so they'll change too! But it's good fer the site. And isn't that what's most important? Clients being happy? Good design? Me being content with the ideas? NOPE! The blog.
All hail the blog. IESSO

WHY SCIENCE DOESN'T WORK
Science isn't the answer folks. It just isn't. By the way, in the movie wasn't the big shrink-a-dink machine a giant phallas? I think I'm right on this matter. So this isn't that far off.... nonetheless:
WRONG. SO VERY WRONG.
And that pretty much sums it all up don't it?

BOW CHICKA WOW WOW
I just love puns, as we all know. The other day Tanner and I were thinking of real movie titles and their alternative porno title. For example: "Saving Private Ryan" could be "Shaving Private Ryan", or "Slaving Private Ryan" or "Shaving Ryan's Privates". That one is too easy... It was a few days ago and I've forgotten most of them, but here are the ones I can remember.
LIVE AND MUFF DIVE - Live and Let Die
LOCKED COCK AND TWO SMOKING (Cock)BARRELS - Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
LORD OF THE (Ass)RING - Lord Of the Rings
LORD OF THE (Cock)RING - Lord Of the Rings
YER ASS IS PORKED - Jurassic Park (Sorry, this one is shit, but it's my favourite movie! So I had to do something)
STAR WHORES - Star Wars
FACE BALLS - Space Balls (A Star Wars parody)
CUM LOLA CUM - Run Lola Run
and my personal favourite:
HONEY, I SPUNK'D THE KIDS - Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
And there were a few that were pretty much porno names already! But again, I forgot the actually funny ones.
SNATCH, OCTOPUSSY, BLOW, etc etc and the slightly more abstract: FANTASIA, THE WIZARD OF OZ, GONE WITH THE WIND, 8 MILE
What I want you guys to do is help me think of some more. Let's make it a little competition, the winning idea gets turned into a shirt, and if it gets produced, you can have half the money. That's well over $8 !!! WOW! So yeah, put yer thinking caps on, and get started!

THE FEELING IS MUTUAL
Another idea. I don't think I really need to explain this one too much. I'll just say one thing: I can feel the love, I can feel it dribbling onto my leg right now. Love, it's a warm fuzzy feeling.

PINK COLUMNS
You know that big circle painting I had hanging in my room? Oh, of course you don't... unless you're a stalker or something (thanks, I'm flattered, but you're not really what I'm looking for in a psychopath at the moment. Please leave a resume and I'll be in contact with you)
You gotta stop me from going off on those tangents. ANYWAY! I've painted over and replaced the yonic symbols of circles (resembling vagina's) with pink phallas's (resembling penis's). I don't really know why I decided to do that. I don't think it's my subconcious trying to tell me something... rather it satisfies my cravings for my favourite colors, and design style: Minimalism.
I hear you gasp in horror! MINIMALISM!? "When have you ever done minimal design?", I hear you say. Well never, but that's not to say I don't like it. In my work I'm trying more and more to keep things simple, to leave white space.
This painting is to remind me of that. LESS IS MORE! A lesson that should be applied to all aspects of life, not just design.

THE SECOND COMING
Already I've begun planning for some new shirt ideas. I'll run them by you guys and perhaps get some feed back. Or perhaps not, no big deal. I've sorta got the idea side of things covered, and am only writing them down becuase I need to write SOMETHING on this blog today.
But that's not to say I dont want or appreciate any input. So here are the ideas:
HIGH HORSE - As pictured
GEOLOGY ROCKS - Yeah it's old, and I certainly didn't think of it, but its a classic for a reason. The text will be like the Metallica logo I think
CHERRY PICKER - Image of a cherry picker crane (cherry picking is having sex with virgins [ i think ]
THE SECOND COMING - Dunno what image yet, perhaps a womans face.
HE WHORE - Picture of a donkey. Perhaps the symbol of the democratic party in America (their symbol is a donkey)
HUNG LIKE A MULE - Hanging mule. Maybe tie this in with the previous.
PRAGUE STATUE SOCIETY - CZEC THEM OUT! Need I explain. Lame pun, statue. Duh.
And a few others that are more image based, and less pun involved.
Ok that's all FOR NOW, because here at Mondayne, the PUN never ends! Hardy har har. I crack myself up.
IES-LOLROFL-SO
POSER!
Three hours, two scalpel blades and many cuts and scrapes later, here is my first attempt at a spray stencil. You know those groovy stencils you find in citys and stuff, and are usually pretty groovy, well I figured I'm cool enough to do one. So I did.
Although I admit I didn't entirely think of it, nor did I produce it all that great, it is still a first attempt. More will shirley be on the way. After I get some more blades.

Pair of docks?
Before I begin I have question for you: Can there ever be opposite day? If it's not opposite day, then it's not opposite day, but if it is opposite day, then it's not opposite day. Right?
Ok, now let me explain. For no good reason at all I'm doing an opposite experiment to my lucid dream experiments from a few months ago. This time I'm staying awake for as long as I can. So far I've been awake for over 34 hours. At the 20 hour mark I got really tired. I was going to take a nap but it was way too warm. It was midday, so I was sweating as I was lying in bed. Gross. So I stayed up.
Right now I'm watching RAGE (a music video show on the national TV station) Wow, that sounds real old-fogey-ish. Basically it's like M-TV, but on free-to-air. BUT I suppose most of my readers are Aussies, so I don't really need to explain any of this.
So yeah, my second wind is starting to wind down. Music puts me to sleep. Which is why I never go to clubs. I used to get kicked out a lot because the bouncers thought I was drunk, but really I was falling asleep. But the music sucked anyway, so another reason not to go to clubs. On Rage the guest host is The Hives, so most of the vid's are rock stuff, which... well... ROCKS! Can't stand RnB, Pop, House or anything else cool for the Gold Coast. There's not a single rock bar. So I can't meet any groovy rock chicks. There were a few (sort of) in the Fortitude Valley, but I don't live there anymore now do I?
Yeah, so I can't really concentrate very well anymore... gimme a break.
I'm waiting for Tanner to finish work, so we can (you guessed it, go out) I feel like a Guiness real bad. REAL BAD. Gimme me black mistess. She's so good to me.

THE FINAL WORD
Yep, it's confirmed completely now.... They want all the most recent 8 designs of shirts, paying a total of US$1210 (which is just shy of AU$1600) which is flippin' sweet. So good to finally have a confirmed bit of income. But it's only a wee bit, and won't last very long. But nonetheless COOL FOR ME! Hooray. (got remember to stop counting my chickens) So yeah, as soon as I get my cheque, you'll be looking at a true professional t-shirt designer's website. And there's not very many of them. Sigh.
All is well in the land'o Ez. All I need now is a motorbike, a sexy chick to ride around on said motorbike with me, and a lifetime supply of taco's. And by that I DO mean taco's. I just love taco's. Taco's are good.
IESSO
EWW..
If the goal was to design a shirt that was both offensive to everyone, just-plain-gross, and one very touchy subject, and develop a shirt that NOBODY would wear, this'd shirley be a contender.
I dunno what I was thinking. I guess I can't let a pun go, no matter how dumb it is.
I'd wear it. I'll be sure to pick up chicks in this. It shows I'm a sensitive new-age guy. Oh, wait... no it doesn't. It shows that I'm an insensitive jerk-face. Oh well. I'd still wear it.

I'M SO RAZY
To quelch any rumours about how I simply reversed the line and fill mode of the instruments, YES I did. Thats all I did. I'm very lazy. And also somewhat nostalgic, I didn't wanna change my original design. I liked it. I was holding onto it.
Or some other bullshit that might be more believable. And in any case, no-one would realise that except a _few. But who cares? No I. Actually I do. I'm a bit upset about having to alter this one.
Oh well, the perils of slutitude return!
IESSO
I've been staring at the other version for nearly an hour, thinking, my heart slightly sinking. It just isn't as cool as the original version. I needed to change it a bit, make it POP! So in a flash of brilliance (yeah right) this is what I did. Reduced the number of colors from 3 (black, white, red) to 2 (white and red). It looks better now, the wheels and handle don't dissapear.

BRAIN STATUS: Off
I'm acting in a robotic way now. The designs are becoming more and more erratic, and less and less sense making. They've sort of lost the point. Like with this one; WHY IS THERE A 50s HOUSEWIFE? It clearly says prositutes suck, so by using the power of reasoning you'd assume there'd be a prositute there. That'd make sense!
But no. No sense needs to be made. Alternatively the caption could say: YOUR MOM SUCKS! But again, that'd make sense. And that is not something I do.
But I might go through with those ideas anyway. Also (To Angry: I'll get started on your logo soon. I've just gots to finish these shirts first. Hope there's no rush)
IESSO
This is the last of the series. Now we can play the guess-who-is-what game!
Who is the face?
Who is the body?
What brand of vacuum cleaner is it?

THEIR COLOR SCHEME
They wanted yellow and green on brown. To put it in 8-year-old-boy language, that's like pee and snot on poo. Not the best of colors. I gently suggested some other ideas, but I suppose they're the boss.
Ah, the perils of design slut-titude.

LAST MINUTE LINE CHANGE
I heard back from the shirt people again this morning... they had recently asked for the files again, but in different format, so when I sent them in, I also sent a few more of my favourites, just in case they wanted them, I offered a lower rate of US$70 per design for the other three, they went for it. BUT interestingly, the original five had a few changes. They LIKED the 'Third Wheel' and 'Blow Me' shirt, but weren't too happy with the 'Bandwagon' design! That was the original and still the best! but they can't print it! DANG THE CHEAT!
So I've got to go back to that drawing board in the sky, and redevelop some of the ol' shirts. They FINALLY gave me some pointers on what needs what changes, and mostly it was just color corrections. For eg. on the 'Parsley' shirt they liked the image but they can't print on a mint shirt. They just want some changes too color. And on the beloved 'Bandwagon' design the instruments are too thin and delicate, so they want some new instruments. I guarantee I'm gonna screw it up, but at least we've seen the original.
For now; I'm Elliott Scott, signing off.
PS. I'm seriously thinking of changing my name to Parker. That's what my parents were gonna call me, that or Elliott. They went the nerdy way, and now I'm a nerd. I figure if I have a name like Parker I'll be cool. Parker Lewis couldn't loose, neither can I!

I'M IN THE MONEY
I heard back from the 'shirt people' (they're a mutant race of cavedwellers that make shirts), who are in the process of finalising the designs and will be cutting me a cheque on either the 15th or the 30th. Which is schweet. Moolah!
Although there is something I'm supposed to remember, something about counting, or chickens before they hatch? I dunno, probably something stupid.
I'm Elliott Scott, soon to be swimming in my money like Scrooge McDuck, signing off.
PS. The photo was from last year when I got some money for college. I sent the picture to my parents to scare them. I left a note saying: "I'm going to Mexico!" (with $300, that's right)

NOT SUSS AT ALL
I keep forgetting about that line, you know, the line between good taste, humour and vulgarity. I normally fall flat on my face at the line, somewhere between mildly funny, and you-kiss-your-muddha-with-that-mouth? This time I might have gone too far.
See, it's a jab at those emo guys who think they're tough looking by wearing a tight shirt. Being one myself, I should know. Nothin' like squeezing on a kids shirt to make you feel like a man. But also it's got the ol' patented-Elliott-double-entendre; a nice big fat sexual joke, the kind that girlfriends roll their eyes at when the guy laughs, but secretely chuckles a little too.
And that's the best kind of humour. The kind where you're ashamed to think it's funny.
Elliott
PS. Don't worry, I still don't think it's very good. And not a word about the font!
PPS. Why am I still making shirts? I think I'm hooked. ... no, actually that was the original purpose of this blog, instead of emailing my friends the dumbass pictures, I'd put them on the web, for the world to roll it's eyes at.

Two QUICK things: I've given up smoking for a while, at least untill the party is over, it's for the best. But smoking is a lot of fun. So very much fun. ALSO I'm still waiting for a reply from the t-shirt people. It's not like I need the money though.
Oh yeah... I do. Shortest post ever! IESSO
