I have had a blank canvas open in illustrator for the past few days, just waiting to become my next Threadless design, and I keep failing at putting anything on it.

In Summation: I hate crappy weather.

Example:

I hate mayo, and I despise fish but

mayo + tunafish = good sammich (from time to time)

Now, list more things in life (that aren't math) that have this same double negative effect...

So I submitted this design over at Emptees and DBH for the DBH10k, and I was sorta let down by the response to the original 1 color on camel/tan version that I did.

So here is a new colorful version with some adjusted linework, and I would love to see this do a little better at least at emptees...I would rather not have to make a zombie version if it can be avoided.

Need I say more?

Ok, so those other blogs got outta hand, I actually didnt mean to leave the star wars dislike blog for that long, but I was away from my computer for a bit and forgot...I had intended to flip the title of the blog and change what I said so that peoples reactions looked ridiculous...but instead I waited too long, then tried making a couple serious points about acting and dialogue... and then it all spiraled out of control.

Anyway, I want to talk about sci fi, in a big way. I was trying to think of some really good sci fi movies when I made that blog, and they aren't really coming to me.

Dark City
The Matrix (#1 obviously)
Equilibrium (was good, if not for some plot holes)
Serenity (one of my all time favs in the sci fi genre)
12 Monkeys (another in my top 10 of all time)

WHAT ELSE? Why can't I remember?

note: I would say 2001 but I saw it when I was so young I dont even remember it...so it would be a bit of a lie.

Added:

Stargate
Total Recall
Moon! (how could I forget, I just saw this)
5th Element
Blade Runner
Minority Report
Star Trek (2009)
Mars Attacks

I would comb the desert to find a copy to watch if I had to.

Look, Han Solo, R2-D2, Chewbaccca and Yoda are awesome. Darth Vader is an Icon, the voice work and the costume are memorable. Tons of imaginative visuals and lofty ideas, but the movies just kinda suck. The sum of the parts and all that... I am not going to lie, the acting is mostly wooden, the dialogue is a jokeshow, and the movies themselves are overlong in the worst possible way. Its like the whole trilogy was an extension of the last 20 minutes (and 20 endings) of Return Of The King.

Deal with it.

Wow, I did not expect that. Not at all. Thanks so much everyone. Highest score yet.

Apparently, 70% of military aged youth isn't even qualified/fit for duty, so they can't even join! Take that France!

70% Awesome

I have a really neat idea for a custom line of toys, and nowhere to take it... The information out there on this subject is severely limited. DAMN YOU GOOGLE!

Now, for some random vinyl toy images to hold your attention.
