~ I don’t know if the title of this post makes sense. Did you interpret it as a change in my lifestyle or that I hadn’t told you anything in a while? Maybe it makes sense either way but I am just not sure which way I meant it. So it is up to you to imbue meaning into this here text. Which by now there is probably too much of so I might have lost ya..

~ Grills! Not the ones for your mouth (silly momma). I have been obsessing over grills for the past week. Well that not really true I have been obsessed with trying to obsess. I am slowly finding the interest necessary to design, not one, not two, but three! haha Gary Oldman, I heart that ~creepy~ dude. Anyways, I need to crank out three grill designs and renderings by Monday. A finished tongue cleaner would be nice too…

~ Interesting web thing about design school here.

~ Random note. I have really been obsessing about the stars(the universe, and everything).. Best way to feel awesomely insignificant (by best I mean best, not sarcastic, like satisfyingly so) I borrowed this picture, but it is too awesome to not share…

~So as a studio we are hosting an idea farming session about industrial floor cleaning! (gasp!) We are each responsible for moderating one exercise within the session. Mine is the Scribble Game! Have you ever played this?

The Rules:

1.) Must be played with two or more people.

2.) One person draws a series of random lines. These should include a variety of line types, like a scribble, a zigzag, a curly-Q, or whatever. Between 4 and 6 lines is optimum.

3.) The lines need to be random and not subconsciously implied into something. Random. Do it.  Don’t think about it.

4.) The other person then has to use the random lines to draw an image of the others’ chosing.

5.) Themes make the game more fun, e.g. naked people, animals, weapons, etc.

6.) Then you switch roles and compare results. Funny results make the game more fun, so be loose. It is not a drawing contest. It is a crazy  contest.

Here are some scribbles if you want to play with me. : )

And a random image.
