Geeking out

Christopher Lloyd is coming to Melbourne for Supernova and as a big BTTF fan, I'm sporadically geeking out about it as the date draws nearer.

So, I totally got my geek on this weekend and made a couple of time-travel t-shirts by cutting up large iron on sports numbers.

On the left is the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future and on the right is the Season 5 Dr Who logo.


I'm definitely going to wear my Flux Capacitor T for one of the days.
I'm just hoping I don't freak out too much or loose my (already pretty hindered) ability to speak if I get to meet him.

Back to the Future has definitely imprinted a LOVE of time travel in me. To the point where I'm a little ashamed to have never watched any Dr Who until last year (thankyou ABC iview!).
I've watched all the new seasons, and have some old episodes waiting to be consumed, and am LOVING it!

Okay, I'm gonna stop now.
Need to tone it down for work tomorrow. Don't wanna push being the office eccentric any more than I have.
Hope everyone has a terrific Monday and a funderful week!

*Edit: Oh, and I know the Dr Who T should've been more of a TARDIS blue, but Best & Less didn't have any XL's left in that color, so I had to settle for navy. That said, 2 shirts for $15! Awesome!

Happy Friday everyone, possibly the best day of the week!

Office Extras

Hey everyone,
Thought I'd post some of the stuff I've put up around my computer at work.


Ella Spork. Made from a spork, paper, fineliner and whiteout.






Ah yeah... I seem unable to resist finished toilet rolls now... There's just so much potential!
This is a toiletpaper mammoth. He has no ears 'cause he's all about doin', not listnin'!

Hope everyone's having a grand Thor's day,

DIY Shirt Prints

I've been meaning for a while to go through some of my old (and slightly grubby) t-shirts and put stuff on the front of them. (to cover the afore mentioned grubby)

The tricky thing is finding something you feel strongly enough about to have plastered on your shirt all day. So this first one is simply the (aproximate) hexadecimal RGB value of the shirt.

After trying to take photos of the shirt and getting an average value and comparing it to the shirt, I ened up taking the value from a character I'm animating at the moment with very similar colored sleeves.
It would've be slightly off due to lighting, shadows, and fading over time anyway.



Because I don't have any screen printing equipment and couldn't be bothered waiting for fabric paint to dry, I used a giant iron-on sprot number from Lincraft and cut it up. For the record, zeros give the most useable surface area.
