VG Cats & T-Shirts

Kinda late notice, but there are t-shirts for sale off this website that have some intersting designs. The comics are video game satire so you should check those out while your at it. I would post this weeks comic on the blog, but I'm not sure whether it's appropriate or not.

Vector Magic

Vector Magic is an online bitmap tracing tool that creates vector images. It works just like Live Trace in Illustrator, though Stanford University, creators of the tool, argue that it works even better.

Check out this comparison :


It seems to me that some of the obvious issues with Adobe's tracer can be fixed by simply toying with some of the options, I'm not familiar with Corel's. But either way, it's another tool to stick in your belt, give it a shot and see how you like it.

Raymond Swanland

I love fantasy illustration and this guy creates some awesome looking examples of it. He is one of the creators of the Oddworld Universe and much of his work relates to that. I'm not very familiar with Oddworld myself, but it looks cool as hell.

If this image interests you at all check out his website that has many more examples of his work.

Bakers Pink

A teacher shared with us how a shade of pink was used in doctors offices to calm men specifically down when needles were used. The shade seemed to actually make the males more docile and were able to be administered the shot easily.

It was then decided that since the color calmed men down in the doctors office, its uses could be used in other places. The gyms of some prisons were painted this specially made shade of pink, Barker's Pink. The first few months of the gyms being painted proved that the men were calmed by the color and fights were drastically reduced. This didn't last long and after six months the inmates became psychotically violent. This spike in agression in all cases after prolonged exposure led to the ban of this color. It is now illegal in most places to use Baker's Pink.
