My fantastic girlfriend made me these iamnotagoodartist robot stickers for her flexography class. They are from a design I drew in Flash, are three inches in diameter, and very well may be the best stickers ever printed.
Want some? Contact me and we’ll figure it out.
Hey! I made this today!
Those lyrics are super deep. Also, it’s hard to look masculine while playing the egg shakers.
Here’s the MP3, if you want it.
[edit] It looks like one of my friends Dugg this and it’s maybe getting a little attention. Digg it too and I’ll be your homie:

My girlfriend’s birthday was earlier this month and I had no money to buy her something. So what did I get her? A book! That I made! With text I got on the internet! For free! Legally!
The book was Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, obtained from Project Gutenberg, a pretty cool resource for old things written by now dead people.
I laid it out in Word with a 5.5″ by 8.5″ page setup, the dimensions of a letter paper folded in half, so as to not waste any real estate. Then I exported as a PDF and used Acrobat to print it in booklet form with two pages on each side. This one turned out to be 208 pages original. With double-sided booklet printing, that’s 52 printed pages.
I took every five printed pages, that is, every 20 pages of the book, and bound them together with thread. This is called a “signature.” Here’s all 11 of them.
Then, using such professional tools as a ruler, a guitar capo, a pencil, and a clamp thing that came with a generic dremel tool, I clamped all the signatures together and glued them up with some binding glue.
After a whole bunch of coats of that stuff, it gets a cardstock cover.
Opened to a random page, in proof that it is, in fact, a real book.
Total project time: a solid 5 or 6 hours
This is actually the second Jane Austen book I’ve made for my girlfriend, the first one being Pride and Prejudice. To friends and relatives who may receive such an affordable (but thoughtful!) gift like this from me for Christmas, please forget everything you just read. Yay!!
I made myself a sketchpad the other day from some index cards my girlfriend gave me and some curious book binding glue stuff my mom gave me. It’s pretty rad.
I’m gonna keep it in my back pocket and try to draw something in it every day. Gotta keep up my doodling chops now that I’m not a student with boring, mandatory lectures to attend anymore.
Drawing #01 is a robot with buck teeth! Shock! Yikes! Hmph!
I made this little guy for my girlfriend over the weekend. His name is Hansel, and he is in some serious agony.

He’s a smidge under 4″ tall but would be about 6″ if he didn’t slouch so bad. Like the others, Hansel’s made out of Sculpey clay, wire, and some aluminum foil on his oven-burnt feet.
