Unflappable clouds - IBM Patent 9329908
People depend on the cloud for pretty much everything. But clouds get busy. Now when you’re uploading all those videos from vacation, Patent 9329908 will help by spreading the work around so no one part of the cloud is overloaded. So yeah, go ahead and sync those playlists. Which playlists? All of them.

It's been a while since I played around in Adobe Aftereffects! Making this animation was a great refresher. Looking for remote work as a Product/UI/UX/Visual Designer or in the Greater Boston Area.
wow guys i Actually Finished It
Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, 1892-1893 by John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925)
Chinchilla sketches. They are the cutest of rodents.
Open for commissions!
I’ve been painting portraits for friends and family and the occassional comission now for a couple of years now. They make great and personal presents; all I need is a reference photo (I can even use low-res cell pics--all four paintings above were done from cell pics).
Depending on the complexity and size of the portrait, I may even be able to finish in time to print and ship for the holidays!
To discuss a commission, send me a private message or comment with your email address and I’ll reach out to you.
Just pried this squeaker from Shadow's toy a second before he could get to it! We're waiting on our #barkbox order with his new fish taco toy and it can't come soon enough! #destroyersclub #shadowthegreyhound #greyhoundsofinstagram
Test driving a new logo for myself. Feedback welcome!
Ok so while I wait for the noodle to come home, do any of you snootblr people have coats and sweater tips for a naked boy? He’ll be coming home right before it gets cold, plus he’s white so that won’t help at all with retaining heat. Any brands you prefer or boots you like? @k9kesi @bandizoi @falossuhfeesshadow @snootblr @phelipa @threesighthoundsandchunk @salty-sighthound
Buying cold weather accessories for Shadow is one of my favorite activities. Hope this summary helps! Here’s what we have:
Voyager K9 Apparel
I wanted to buy pretty much everything here, but I’m on a budget so I stuck to a tummy warmer, a raincoat, and a hood. I figured I could use each individually as needed or combine for extreme weather. Needless to say they bring us much joy, and Shadow doesn’t seem to mind them a bit (except when the rain hood obscures his vision and he shakes the whole thing back).
Boots I ordered from Slicks Greyt Booties. They hold on nicely but can be tricky to attach properly if your horse is particularly fidgety. Shadow is less of a fan of these.

Art School Stereotypes I’ve observed*
Animation
N e r d s
Unhealthily obsessed with video games, anime, Disney, or some sick combination of the three
One of the most sleep-deprived majors, but also surprisingly chipper (there are exceptions)
Instantly recognizable by their triforce t-shirts or Pokemon Go snapbacks
In spite of everything, they have the highest population of straight-edge asexuals
If you weren’t straight edge and celibate before, then prepare to be, because you’re about to disown all bodily urges and dedicate your life to drawing cartoon animals
Illustration
Like Animation majors, but cooler and much better taste in fashion. A little less tech-savvy, though
Comic book nerds
Painting & Drawing
A friend of mine once said, “People who love animation go into animation. Then they realize it’s a ton of work and switch to illustration. Then they realize THAT’S a ton of work and switch into Painting & Drawing.”
Highest percentage of colorful hair and weird tattoos/piercings
grunge
Listen to music you’ve never heard of
Smoke a LOT, asthmatics beware
Ceramics
Kinda stereotypical stoners or high level artsy kids, but not that pretentious
Somehow even more conceptual and indie than P&D
Behind the ceramics building, there’s a sculpture garden of all the sculptures of students past. Every night, the campus closes at 4AM. They say it’s for security, but I say it’s because the sculptures all come to life at that point. I mean, think about it. The whole “spooky midnight hour” is so cliche, I don’t know anyone who DOESN’T stay up till midnight at least once a week. But 4AM? That’s the true witching hour. The hour that belongs only to the living sculptures (and architecture majors I guess)
Glass
Frankly, the least hygienic major
All the males and most of the females have a rank odor after being sweatily hunched over the steaming hot forges for too long
Might be stoners, but the chill, easy-to-hang-out-with stoners
Probably the most like a real family. I always walk by the Glass Studio at night and feel the breeze of warm air from their fire, catch a riff of tasteful classic rock, and hear the echoes of genuine laughter from within. It must be nice to have a home.
Jewelry
I dunno, I’ve never met one. They put on some sick gallery shows, though.
Graphic Design
In spite of Graphic Design as an art not being super emotional or indie compared to, say, Painting, the GD majors are probably some of the most tortured souls I’ve met
I used to be best friends/date a GD major and watched before my eyes as she was crushed by the world around her from Freshman to Junior year. Honestly I’m not sure if she still goes here. We don’t talk anymore, it’s too painful. I miss her, or rather, I miss the person she used to be. The person she used to be before Graphic Design.
I’m now roommates with a poor little GD Freshman, and I worry about her every day. Not as a lover like with the last one, but as a parent. What will happen to her? How long will she last? Cheyenne, if you’re reading this, run away while you still can.
Gets excited about fonts and kerning.
I don’t really know what kerning is.
Photography
Outdoorsy and nature loving hippies
The chillest major, I envy them
Photography IS hard work, don’t get me wrong, but come ON! You travel to a beautiful mountain spring, snap a few pictures, and call it a day
Never need to pull all-nighters
Seriously, I deeply respect Photography as an art and all BUT
Film
Some of them are also outdoorsy and nature loving hippies, the rest are hipSTERS
“I don’t watch ‘movies.’ I watch Films.”
Apparently they have something of a drug problem, i.e., half the class comes in stoned
My friend Chris said one of the film teachers plays Porno he made in class, I’m not sure if he was messing with me or not
Architecture
Oh boy, Architecture
The coldest hearts of any major
The only nice Architecture majors are the first years. After that last final, something inside of them breaks. At that point they either crawl to a different major in submission, or become as sharp, straight, and lifeless as the buildings which they spend so much time designing
They literally do not sleep
Seriously, I was pulling an all-nighter last week (since the Architecture place is the only place open 24/7) and I swear to god there was an entire CLASSFULL of the Architects up and jamming from 10pm to 7am. I tried to sleep, but the Architecture majors just wouldn’t quit. Also, it was so cold there. So cold. Cold from the hearts of fifth-year Architects. I’m bringing my winter backpacking sleeping bag next time.
Industrial Design
Mostly foreign exchange students, especially Chinese, Indian, and Korean
I don’t speak Chinese, Indian, OR Korean so I can’t say much else
Vaguely like Architecture majors, only they appear to have a normal spectrum of human emotions
Interactive Design
What is Interactive Design? Honestly I don’t really know. Like making Apps or some shmuck.
Tech
Graphic Designers who love themselves
Fashion
Mostly female
Obviously they’re very very VERY nicely dressed
Calm, confident, but also have fun sides
Textiles
Most of the textiles students I’ve met are just stop-motion loving Animators
I think the ones that aren’t are probably like grandmas that love knitting or something
Furniture
Honestly I didn’t know this was a major until like last semester
The only furniture major I’ve met was this Norwegian dude who looked like a greek god
We were once assigned to do a group project together but then he blew me off to go surfing so I had to do it myself. Seriously? Surfing???? Like I’d be mad but that’s a cool reason to blow someone off. Hell, I’d blow people off surfing if I had the easy life of a non-animation-major
Writing
“We have a writing program?”
They’re cool though
Get really excited about books. I’ve read only about three or four books so I kind of just smile and nod while they talk
Seem genuinely interested in other people’s stories
Community Art
I’m not entirely sure what this is
Passionate about social justice and teamwork
Disclaimer: No offense to any of them (except architecture majors)
*At California College of the Arts during the years 2014-2016
OH MY GOD

@thesecretkouhai
Where would a visual development major fit in
Omg these are SO ACCURATE!!! Lollll!!
Just ordered some sample sheets of a Halloween sticker set I made because I wanted to. Who wants one?? Reblog to enter, and I’ll pick 5 people at random to mail these to by next Friday, October 14, 2016.
6 more days to reblog (but I get to keep the extra stickers for myself so I won’t be mad if no one else reblogs cause i wanna put these stickers everywhere I go)
Oh man they just came in the mail and they look even better than I hoped.
The lovely people below have some zany Halloween stickers headed their way! Message me a mailing address and I’ll get them out as soon as possible :D

@youwatchusdeduce
@twobarklessdogs and @citygrump you have stickers coming too, but I already have your info ;)
A good friend of mine has a fabric and cloth diaper company (www.beanpop.net) and I help her with branding needs and the occasional fabric pattern design. I designed the logo on the label as well as this pattern. She made me a special order bandana in this super soft fabric with nifty matching snaps!
The pattern is called Little Stinker and is modeled above by a not-so-little stinker.
MGA Tutorial: Creating a monitor scan-line effect in photoshop
Making a convincing screen display can sometimes need more than simply applying a texture onto a screen. In some cases you may need to apply a scan-line effect to a texture to imitate certain computer screens, mostly older ones where this effect was more noticeable.
To begin, create a new photoshop file with a width of 1 pixel and a height of whatever you want, the height will determine how big the lines will appear. Since this is a very large image I will be using a height of 8 pixels.
Next you need to use the pencil tool to colour half of the pixels black.
From here you now go to the “Edit” dropdown menu at the top left. Select Define Pattern.
Name the pattern and press OK.
Now return to the image you want to add the effect to and open the fill dialogue box and use these settings. (From here you can change blending mode from normal to overlay to save time.)
If you haven’t already, change the blending option from normal to overlay.
And it’s done. You may not notice it in this image due to its size but the effect is quite useful.
I actually needed this. Thanks.
