I Heart Adobe

I do, I really do! I heart Adobe products.

So why I say this is I am working on a couple sites for some friends. The idea behind one of the sites, is vectors.

My friend Johnny is a very talented singer, and guitarist. So I am working on his web site and his CD booklet. So… I have yet to do more than 2 vectors, but I have to say I am really enjoying them. I get the idea of them and i know how to use Illustrator so it really isn’t all that hard and I am very pleased with my progress so far.

That’s the image thus far, I only have the outline of the black on about half of the image but I love the process, how the image gets built over layers of black, greys and white.

So much fun.

Makes me wonder why I was so afraid to attempt a vector in the past. I guess it looked so hard, but really not all that hard once you get a handle of the pen tool in Illustrator.

I think that this image will take about 3 more hours. I am working pretty fast so it might be less time. To help me work I am listening to some of the rough cuts off of his CD which will be released in May.

Not to much else is really going on, I am thinking about updating somethings here, well not really updating since all of this is fairly new, it has been so long since I was active online and doing anything really so I am trying to get back in the habit.

We will see how that goes.

Like a Boss.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, you are living under a rock and you need to wake up.

The Lonely Island is the newest sensation. I am in love with their debut CD/DVD “Incredibad

I’m On a Boat – The Lonely Island

I’m on a Boat is their latest video online and it is amazing. These guys really know what they are doing and they are having fun doing it.

It’s not just that they are making fun of the music they are creating, in “I’m on a Boat” TPain appears and makes fun of his own genre of music like a champ. Just as Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg did in the video “Dick in a Box

Making fun of music videos, how seriously some artists take their image, how “hard core” rappers rap about money drugs, fighting and bitches. Being a hustler isn’t on their minds, punching you in the jeans is.

Just after V for Vendetta the lovely Natalie Portman did her own hard core rap in an attempt to poke fun at her squeaky clean image, claiming to like to fight, fuck like a champ and smoke pot. You have to give everyone in the mix for taking part and having some fun for once.

Other Artists who joined in are Jack Black, Julian Casablancas, E-40, Norah Jones, and Chris Parnell from SNL.

I listen to this album daily, I love it, its on my ipod and I went to buy it the day it was released. Schaffer, Taccone, and Samberg have out done themselves. Their video “Jizz in my Pants” reached over 5 million views in under 5 days, and has reached 32,764,951 views (as of march 16th 2009 @ 6:48pm) since it was added 2 months ago. These guys are getting repeat views, daily. I know I watch it lots, I have a link on my desktop directly to that video.

Just a suggestion, visit their site, and view their vids on Youtube, they are amazing.
