Everybody! PULSATE!

I've created banner ads.


Promising to not make a habit of it (and thinking that I'll likely never do it again) I present art from my youth. I was 14 years old, or something thereabouts, and had asked my mother to drive me across town so I could meet my very first client. He was the owner of a business that was half costume rental and half custom screen printing, and he was contemplating creating a line of custom tshirts. I arrived with a stack of artwork I hoped he'd consider purchasing for his new endeavor. After roughly half an hour we shook hands and I returned to the car happily waving a check. No, Micky and Pluto viewed through Frank Frazetta-colored lenses turned out to be one design he did not want. It is, however, the only one of the designs I presented to him that hasn't fallen into a yawning chasm of forgetfulness forevermore nevermore to return.
Full disclosure: The color, the background, and the stretchy shadow were added many years later when the art was brought back into the light of day to be utilized in the creation of one of many downloadble desktop backgrounds. That was way back when 1024x768 monitors were something special and only rock stars and oil magnates owned them. But we've already spent too much time strolling down Memory Lane to be wandering off into that bit of desktop resolution history. THE END.
There's a new tshirt submission currently in the running and covetous of your vote. You'll award it a 5? Bless you!
There are more pint-sized pics where those previously posted pixellations painted with a palette of 15 colors came from, and I had a yen to share them:

If I had been paying attention last week I would have noticed (and mentioned) that this blog o' mine is one year old! But better late than never, so happy birthday to it! I have, of course, maintained a web presence for much longer than one year and a week, but it's only been since February 12, 2007, that I've visited your web browser on a quasi-daily basis, displaying thingies that weren't there on your previous visit. For the occasion I had considered chronicling the lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made, the pitfalls into which I've stepped, and the various and sundry ups and downs that are a part of keeping this place reasonably fresh; but, golly, would that have ever been a dull post. I will instead express a hearty thanks to all you good people who stop by to see my stuff: THANKS!
Is it a hallucinogenic Nintendo Wii Mii experience? Why, yes, it is. But it's also my latest Threadless shirt design submission. Thanks for your vote! Now please excuse me while I kiss the sky.

Love to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and to you, and most especially to you!
