The Punisher Had a Cousin on his Mother's Side

Was driving home from lunch with the other half and saw a beat-up truck with a Punisher sticker on it. My brain went, "Zpppppffttt." What if the Punisher had a cousin? A horribly buck-toothed cousin. That'd be kinda funny. So I Google-seached my butt off trying to find out if someone had already done it. Didn't seem like it. So I made this.


Then I added some texture for extra buck-toothiness.

There's No School like the Old School

EPCOT Center.  Circa 1989.  Ahh.  Magic.

And each Future World pavilion used to have its own logo.  Simple and pure and genius.  Here's a wallpaper for your magical iPad in honor of this great time in history.

Grendelfish

When I was 19, I wrote a play about pirates.  The basic premise was that a group of male pirates rescues a group of female pirates (who lost their ship in a severe storm).  A high-seas battle-of-the-sexes and hilarity ensues!  (I know, right?  Hey, I was 19.)  Anyway, when the crews weren't battling each other, they were battling Grendelfish, an evil sea serpent with glowing yellow eyes.

The best thing to come out of all this was the logo I designed. ;)  I still think it's pretty cool.

Interesting side note: I designed it in Illustrator 5.  What was that?  Like 1993 or something.  Anyway, all I had in my file cabinet was a printed version.  I scanned it, and then opened it in Illustrator CS4.  Illustrator auto-traced it and then I clicked Expand.  And that was it.  No cleanup required.  We've seriously come a long way.  And somehow I gotta figure out how to get that edging into a brush stroke, cuz that's just plain awesome.


Interesting side note 2: See the graphic at the very top, the one that says 'On the Third Floor'? Notice the F and L are 'combined.'  Now look at this graphic.  The L and F are 'combined.'  17 years separate these pieces.  That is really quite creepy.  Do I require therapy to deal with my inherent need to get Ls and Fs up in each others' business?
