and Electricity series, and the birds, and ...
thank you! and thanks for taking a look! it's very enjoyable to decouple my homepage from Tumblr/social media. it kind of sucks on one level because i had a decent online following on weinventyou (humblebrag, sorry), whereas the new website will be lucky to see 50 visitors a month. but it's also very nice to feel like i "own" it and can customize it as much as i want to. and very nice to not feel the subconscious pressure of making something that people "like" or "reblog". i know it's lame to admit that it was a consideration, but it's difficult not to let that influence what you're making. it feels very liberating to be away from that!

This is fantastic. I'm also relieved you preserved centaur.gif

yeah that was kind of a trippy day! here's an outtake from that one

originally it was going to be a video with the action moving from the wall to the real living room to the objects and me, back and forth, but i never got going on it.

xpost thanks fetchboy! it would probably be pretty easy to do a centaurpart2.gif. i feel like i see that centaur in new photos every few weeks or so, it's very photogenic.

If you had a following from Wordpress could you revive it but post links to your site? or is that not allowed?
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Monday, 16 April 2018 05:16 (six years ago) link
Hmmm, what do you mean by “revive”? Can you follow blogs on Wordpress? I guess it has a social layer, too, but I haven’t thought about it yet.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 16 April 2018 05:30 (six years ago) link
Sorry - misunderstood, thought weinventyou was hosted on Wordpress, my mistake.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Monday, 16 April 2018 06:25 (six years ago) link
oh, no problem! yeah, weinventyou was hosted on tumblr. that was fun for a while but became a nightmare. i followed everyone back and before long i could no longer use it with any practicality because the feed was a chaotic mess generating 100+ new posts to sift through every minute.

This is great stuff ZS! <3 Love the new website. It's very "artiste-y" ;) It indeed feels 'in control' to me: more a personal curation of your work than a bloggy, tumbler-y pile on.
Would've so been at yr exhibition if I could.

aw, thanks LBI! i'm going to try to do a decent job of documenting this on<e so i'll post a video in a few weeks. if the whole thing comes together in time, that is. it's coming down to the wire and i have left a ridiculous number of things undecided, and materials as of yet unpurchased. but glad to knock out the 'put up a new website' item because i needed to do it and it was distracting me.

thanks! i replaced my old stop with "eeeeee eeeeeeeee", seemed fitting. there were 32 names in Key and Peele's sketch; turns out there are way more dc metro stops than that. i thought about making up my own fake names to fill in the rest, but for once i managed to stop myself from doing a bad thing.

wait wait wait did you forget the East West Bowl 2013? I see no Goolius Boozler, Fudge or Blyrone Blashington.

I really appreciate that you also changed the line termini at the top btw
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 01:04 (five years ago) link
was wondering if someone would catch that, heh
i admit that i didn't realize there was more than one year of east/west bowl, so i just grabbed the names from here: https://alvinalexander.com/funny/key-peele-east-west-college-bowl-names-list
i should have went with this instead, which has the names from all three years: https://gist.github.com/JamesChevalier/7900a468a5038f7d0dc8

it's up to you to print these out on glossy photo paper and clandestinely distribute these throughout the DC Metro system

that's really cool james! what did you use to make it?
beware: when you post GIFs on twitter, it converts them to a video format and then introduces a laggy pause before each repetition of the frames, thus destroying the smooth quality that GIFs are supposed to have. twitter pretends to be a supporter of GIFs, but it's a cruel façade!
i usually upload images to imgur, which has an absolutely awful community (they're corporately bonded with Reddit, now), but at least they let you just upload GIFs without changing them to a different file format. here's what your GIF looks like there (i assumed that each frame (6 frames, each .1 seconds, I'm guessing?):

Thanks for that! I wondered what had happened to slow it down. I altered the original image using Deepart, with a picture of static rotated four different ways as the style images to use.

there is perhaps a better thread for asking this question, but I'm looking for a simple free/cheap application to superimpose text on images (to create album covers), preferably something I can learn to work with by watching a 30 min tutorial - any recommendations? (so far using Word and MS Paint, works OK but thinking I can do better...)
― niels, Friday, 27 July 2018 07:27 (five years ago) link
GIMP is the standard free photoshop recommendation - it's a photoshop clone, and it looks like it has plenty of tutorials as well!
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 July 2018 15:26 (five years ago) link
NO
― mh, Friday, 27 July 2018 16:11 (five years ago) link
what platform are you looking for this on, niels? windows?
yes was looking for a Windows solutionI downloaded gimp a few years back but never got into it, might give it another try
― niels, Saturday, 28 July 2018 09:34 (five years ago) link
Paint.Net is a free app that’s like a more fleshed out Paint, decent starting point
gimp has always been oversold and undercooked imo
