Animation Discs

A 2D animator’s best friend– their animation disc– is quite a versatile tool.

One can use it as a pillow…

One can use it to soften the sun.

One can use it as a tray on which to eat…

Or, more than anything, one can bring flat drawings to LIFE with the help of its pegbars and smooth, semi-opaque surface! (All the while, losing sleep, not getting outside to see the sun, and forgetting to eat).

You and I live a full 24 frames a second. We may even think every action in 24 frames a second! 2D is alive and will never die so long as our friend, the animation disc, is around.

(Which isn’t to say that 2D is impossible through computers… But the satisfaction of bringing paper to life is unrivaled!)

Companion Cube

“The symptoms most commonly produced by Enrichment Center testing are superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.”

R.I.P. our beloved [talking?!] friend, the Companion Cube!

Don’t worry, it lives on in the form of shiny buttons that you can proudly sport on, say, your backpack (containing a towel with the number ’42′ on it)– certainly with all these put together you’d never need another companion your whole life.

That is, so long as GLaDOS doesn’t threaten any of them with a euthanization chamber… In which case it doesn’t hurt to order a backup set.

HTML strengths and weaknesses

Do you write your History notes in HTML, defining class and importance to each paragraph?
Do you write up a separate style-sheet to reference your notes, to make sure your brain’s browser interprets those notes correctly?
Okay, so maybe the majority of us don’t write our notes out quite that nerdily.

But we can sure pretend we do!

If you’re all about the web scripting, let the people know that by giving your body HTML tags.

And we won’t mind if you show off your bicep’s strength with the <strong> tags, either.

Or, if you’re not feeling so hot, pin the “404 error” tag to the back of your hat. Then people can expect you to lack of short-term RAM– I mean, memory.

I Believe

I Believe!

Certainly those images of the Loch Ness Monster, otherwise known as beloved Nessy, are based off of true-life encounters. Hoax? Never! You know just as well as I do that there’s a googley-eyed, fanged beast swimming in the waters of Loch Ness.

Not only will you proudly proclaim your belief in Nessy with this button collection, but you will also display for all to see that you know there are yeti out in the snow, jackalopes hiding in your garden, aliens in the sky and mermaids in the sea.

Button collection includes all five designs.

Outlet Emotions

It’s common knowledge that those wall outlets look quite worried! But, that’s the common plug to see around the States… what about the all the other emotive plugs that exist in the world? Take, for instance, the Danish power outlet on the bottom of this set. It’s happy! It’s excited!

And you should be too! Completely interchangeable with the Powerstrip button set, these outlets bring you more power to express your own emotions.

Puzzled

Do you love puzzles?

Specifically– Rubik’s cubes?

As fun as those multiple-colored blocks may appear in their vivid technicolor, one may soon discover that the frustration overwhelms the fun-color factor, sending one’s hands into a furious flurry to find the solution.

Cubes can be a love-hate relationship. Perplexing as they may be, it’s always satisfying to fit those colors into place. Fit these buttons onto your backpack, hat or shirt to display your cube geekery.

Tug-O-War

It’s an all-out tug-o-war between the lil guy and the big guy! Who’s going to win? You can decide by who’s closest to the knot!

Looks to me like the big guy’s dragging the lil guy in, despite the knot being in his favor. The swear-bubble would seem to indicate that the lil guy’s having a tougher time.

Goes great on the back of hats– especially if you’re one of those people who has a hard time coming to a decision!

Cartoon-YOU!

Why go out to a sweltering-hot themepark to sit and wait while a caricature artist makes fun of you on paper– when you could rather be doing thirty loop-de-loops on that latest rollercoaster? Come on, you know they’re going to pick on the fact that you’ve got sweat waterfalls pouring from your temples…

Instead, however, you can send in either a link to a Flickr account, Facebook photo album or directly email in photos of yourself to me*– and I’ll draw a cute, non-insulting version of you! In the meantime, you can go out, enjoy getting sick on some rickety rollercoasters and come home to a COLORED print-resolution 8″x8″ digital cartoon rendering! There’s even the option to have the rendering printed out in high resolution and mailed directly to you. Frame it, put it in your binder, tape it to the front of the Wheaties box and proclaim yourself a star… Yup, because you’re that special, and you deserve better than an insulting drawing referenced from you in your most roller-coaster-battered condition.

*Of course, there are other means by which one may display photos on the Internet. If you happen to have your own website photo gallery or a PUBLIC album on a social site, these are more than welcome, so long as you test them beforehand to make sure they are, in fact, public… otherwise there’s going to be nothing for me to reference!

It should also be noted that these cartoons focus on the FACE, not full-body.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A ‘PERSONALIZED COMMENTS’ BOX ON THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT PAGE. PLEASE FILL THIS IN WITH IN THE LINK TO YOUR ONLINE PHOTO ALBUM, SPECIFICALLY STATING WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE AND, IF YOU PREFER, STATING AN EMOTION THAT YOU WISH YOUR CARTOON-YOU TO EXPRESS! Please upload your preferred image for me to work from. You may also email your online album link to tahneegehm@yahoo.com. Links to albums on Flickr/social sites are preferred to emailed images.

Cartoon-YOU! Superstyle

Looking for a super-unique, stylized portrait? Congratulations, you’ve found it!

Here’s how it works: you send me* an image that you want drawn (either by email or social networking link– ie, a Facebook or Flickr photo) and I’ll go full-force into creating something aesthetically unexpected!

All drawings start out as ballpoint illustrations, which are then colored digitally.

The end product will be an 8×8″ 300dpi illustration. The digital file will be sent to you– and if you want a print mailed to you, make sure to select that option! (It’s already selected by default).

*Of course, there are other means by which one may display photos on the Internet. If you happen to have your own website photo gallery or a PUBLIC album on a social site, these are more than welcome, so long as you test them beforehand to make sure they are, in fact, public… otherwise there’s going to be nothing for me to reference!

It should also be noted that these cartoons focus on the FACE, not full-body. The higher the resolution, the better!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A ‘PERSONALIZED COMMENTS’ BOX ON THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT PAGE. PLEASE FILL THIS IN WITH IN THE LINK TO YOUR ONLINE PHOTO ALBUM, SPECIFICALLY STATING WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE AND, IF YOU PREFER, STATING COLORS THAT YOU WANT ME TO USE! Please upload your preferred image for me to work from. You may also email your online album link to tahneegehm@yahoo.com. Links to albums on Flickr/social sites are preferred to emailed images.

Cartoon-TWO!

Perfect for anniversary gifts, super-personalized computer desktop wallpaper or a simple “I love you”, Cartoon-TWO! is a charming portrayal of you and the love of your life… or maybe a fun way to see you and your best friend together.

It should also be noted that these cartoons focus on the FACE, not full-body.
