Here’s an animated short I created for my Photoshop class, starring none other than Banjo! His co-star is Lefty, the orange cat from next door who you might remember from a post earlier this year, Banjo & Lefty: “A Metaphor for World Peace?”. If you enjoy anthropomorphism as much as I do, check it out [...]
What do you get when you combine these photos and several more? A surreal art gallery at the beach, of course! If you read my last post, you will see Sir Banjo floating in the ceiling. Now you know why he was knighted! What you might not know was that this was a project for [...]
I’ve been wooed by a little knight recently: his name is Sir Banjo of Shyhound, and I am quite smitten… (Part of my composite photo project for my Photoshop class… more soon!)
Last summer, I was invited to dinner at my friend’s parents’ house atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As if that weren’t enough of a treat, I was served the sweetest corn on the cob I had ever had the pleasure of gnawing on, the ear’s yellow teeth yielding to my bite with a [...]
My little sister, Bubs, is mischievous. But she also has a very big heart. When she was about 13, she started secretly leaving out milk for a stray cat who roamed the village. Mum wondered why this mewing cat, nicknamed Mrs. Tiddles, kept showing up at her front door, but, being a fairly clued-in parent, [...]
One of the best things about living in California is access to the beach. Specifically, the kind where you can let your dog run around off-leash. It’s doggie heaven for Banjo, and blissful for us. I can’t think of a better reason to voluntarily wade up to my thighs in jeans other than to teach [...]
<– See this dog? I make no bones about the fact that I am guilty of anthropomorphism to the nth degree – Banjo is the canine love of my life! I recently redesigned the graphics (banner, avatar, favicon, buttons) for my dog blog, Shyhound.com. I’d always used a strip of red for the banner, evocative [...]
It was one of those moments when I joked to myself, Oh, GAWD, what’ve I done?! Standing over the printer watching my impending itinerary to Vermont appear with each tuv-tuv-tuv, I suddenly heard a loud and muffled WUMP! and all the lights were out. Actually, what I noticed was that the computer screen was dark. [...]
With the chronicles of the cross-country road trip written, I’ve been something of a Creative Geek lately. I thought it would be helpful to mah fabulous Fizgiggling readers if I shared and linked to some of the tools and resources! Here’s what I’ve been up to: New About Page on Fizgiggery! So much of blogging [...]
Road Trip Day 3: Trussville, AL to Shreveport, LA – 467 miles / 752 kms Another late start this morning, this time because I couldn’t resist Skyping my family – mum in southern Spain, dad in Los Angeles. So far, my iMac is surviving its journey in the boot (trunk) of the car! That’s obviously [...]
