Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

^ZS, could you do the dropping "DEAL WITH IT" sunglasses on this bag?
It might be a meme.

So, a few things.

First, I'm really sorry I haven't responded to any requests in a while (although maybe still within the revised 25-60 day window?) Sadly, ever since I got a 9-6 job and was forced to pretend that I'm some sort of mature adult, my creativity just totally went down the drain. Also I haven't had a weed connection in months and tbh that used to be my motivator...now I just get home from work, eat dinner, watch the news, and gradually fall asleep. Yes, shit's getting way too real.

Secondly, miraculously, I've been spending the few moments of the week where I feel creative on a comic that will hopefully be published by Just1n3's Chance Press! I can't actually draw, so it relies on manipulated photos to tell the story. I know that shit is lame, but that's the way it is. My WDYLL from this month is one of the frames.

Finally, I didn't post to Barrylutz for a long time while I was in the gutter the past several months, and it appears that 1337 h4x0rs have taken over in the meantime. Everytime you go there (using Chrome) you get a warning about the horrible shit that will happen if you choose to view the page. And the last time I posted something, it appeared another the user name "John", even though I never registered that name and there should be no other registered users. (ironically, I was posting a picture of John Denver, so maybe dead John Denver is an 1337 h3x0r with a sense of humor?). Regardless, since my grand plan to take over the internet via barrylutz.com failed, I'll probably take it down. Maybe I'll replace it with barrylutzen.com in the future and actually, you know, pay attention to it and stuff.

this my blag

loads fine on firefox?
being a mature adult is overrated; you're all good duder.

whoa thanks, that's awesome!

weird synergy - I've never ever tried to "publicize" barrylutz beyond my friendz + here, but after redesigning the site a little bit and doing a few more than usual over the past week, I decided to email a few blogz that have covered animated gifs in the past to be like "hay i do this too, come and look". It's kinda weird because most of the well-known animated gifsters are people that loop film/tv clips, or a series of photo stills (like clouds moving across a sky, the sun rising, etc), which is cool, but when I try to get my stuff "out there" I think it kind of hits the taint of the internet because it doesn't really fit on an "art" blog, but it doesn't fit anywhere else either.

if anyone knows of a good place for me to email and say "hey look at my stuff and write a post about it sometime if you want" please let me know. so far I've just emailed

http://laughingsquid.com
http://rioyanez.com/ and
http://pblks.com/

http://tumblr.com tbh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh dang, should I get a tumblr?

honestly (and obvs) I'm a bit dummy when it comes to stuff like this

a BIG dummy, not a bit, to clarify

start here and then look @ all the other tumblrs he re-blogs and then the tumblrs they re-blog etc etc
http://gifanime.tumblr.com/

http://barrylutz.tumblr.com/ is already taken??? dangit!

ugh that sucks and theyre not even using it

this guy is my favorite one doing all original shit:
http://dvdp.tumblr.com/post/1102402038

should be:
http://dvdp.tumblr.com/

really enjoying dvdp

trying to figure out whether to be something like barrylutzzz.tumblr.com or to just go off in a different direction

whats the "barry lutz" thing about

hahaha
it's from a The State skit, a name of a talk show host
it got awkward one time when a friend of mine named Daniel Lutz was asking what it was about, and my only real answer was that I thought Lutz was a funny last name but couldn't tell him

shit, should've g0ogl3proofed that

yeah, if you get a Tumblr people can easily follow your blog and thus see your updates in their dashboard without having to remember to specifically keep returning to your blog itself to see if you've updated. also, Tumblr makes it super easy for people to "reblog" your stuff, which will put your stuff on more people's radars

markers otm

alright, the consensus is overwhelming...

I'M GETTING A TUMBLR

pretty soon i should be able to publish a novelty hipster book

yeah dude i learned fast that animated gifs dont make for good book/t-shirt ideas :(

damn, I hate coming up with titles, I'm the worst

so far my best idea is robocopII

...I'm serious

shouldiseerobocopy/n.tumblr.com

ok, tomorrow i'll work on the layout and try to make internet tumblr friendz, but for now:

weinventyou.tumblr.com

dope!

ok, can I ask a quick favor? and this is going to sound totally self-serving, but -

could on tumblr try to "like" one of my posts? I was messing around with the code for the notes, and I'm not sure if it's not showing up because no one has "liked" one of my posts (;_;) or because I fucked up the code!

also, slightly bummed that tumblr has problems with animated gifs wider than 500 px (http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/posting)

You can host the gif elsewhere and just use html to post the image, rather than uploading the gif to tumblr itself.
