So, I’m trying to learn Illustrator. Here’s today’s results. The fonts are Chaz, Ache-Condensed, and Brandywine-Extended. I didn’t make the fonts, but all the rest is mine.

I’m not really that happy with Illustrator. It’s supposed to be the thing to use for vector graphics and text, but I’m only liking the vector tools. The text tools aren’t really working well for me. I ended up saving the image to a PDF and opening it up in Photoshop to do the text. Now, the disappointing text tool performance might just be because it’s an old version of Illustrator. Or it might be because I’m still learning my way around. *shrug* Oh well, it’s good for me to learn it, anyway. 🙂

I love our president and I’m voting for him. But geez… Not the best performance in the debates despite Romney giving him SO many openings.

Alternate lines for the flies (Fly 2 would need it’s upper left arm propped on it’s waist instead of it’s current position):

Fly 1: I wish I knew who was telling the truth.
Fly 2: They both are.

Fly 1: I wish I knew who was telling the truth.
Fly 2: Oh come on. You know which one produces the most shit.

Stolen Bumper Sticker

June 15, 2012June 15, 20125 Comments

Someone pulled a bumper sticker off my car while it was in a parking lot. How rude! However, I’m not sure it had the effect that the person intended.

As you may have guessed, it was a political bumper sticker. Nothing offensive. It was just an old Obama 2008 sticker.

See what you made me buy, Mr. Bumper Sticker Thief?

I can only assume that some conservative Republican pulled it off because they don’t like Obama. But let’s think about this for a minute. If you pull a bumper sticker off my car, then I have to replace it. In the case of an Obama sticker, that means paying Obama’s campaign fund to send me a new one. Which means that, because of this person’s actions, I just donated five dollars to Obama’s re-election campaign which I otherwise would not have. I can only speculate that this was not the result that this person was going for.

As a side note, I also had a Darwin fish magnet on my car which they didn’t even touch, which puzzles me. I always thought that was far more offensive than the Obama one. After all, the campaign sticker just supports the Democratic candidate. The Darwin fish insults Creationists.

People are strange.
