Tick tock.

Hej!

It's been a while. It's been a whiiiillllleee. That's a long while. Maybe we should get started, so I can show you some of the stuff I've been wasting my time making. Please keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.

First up is this book cover, just a design experiment, for Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. If you haven't read it already, I strongly suggest you get a copy and do so ASAP - it's essential reading for anyone. So yah, I designed a little book cover. The outer sections are the flaps that flap back under the hardback cover.

I thought I'd get really deep and meaningful, and do something typographical. I failed, so created this witty graphic.

Then again, this one is one I'm quite proud of. Simple, but meaningful. So what's the meaning? Well, don't ask me. Det ved jeg ikke - I don't know! Art's all about the user's interpretation of the piece, anyways. So stop being lazy and work something out yourself!

A witty graphic, which is meant to represent a food. Can you guess what it is? See the bottom of this post for the answer :P

Now, what's this? Did you never know about Dimensionality? I could have sworn I told you one time... anyways, it's a blog I run (and post on from time to time where I basically rant on about my little theories on the nature of reality. Don't start reading unless you're prepared to understand it.

I've discovered a hidden passion of mine: typography. So I thought I might compare two fonts, in this case Rockwell and Lubelin, known as 'slab serif' fonts.

Well, that's really all I have to say ATM. Not much, sure, but I can't think of everything right now. Oh, BTW, I've decided to undertake a 365 challenge. No, not pictures: no one wants to see 365 pictures of my ugly mug, and it would really mess up my photostream, so no; I'm going to do a 365 blog. That's right: one blog post, per day, for 365 days. The posts should be a couple of paragraphs long, and I'm only allowed 5 get-outs. That means I can only say "whoops, I was busy on that day" 5 times. Any more and I've failed and I'm a disgrace and you can all slap me.

So that will start on 1st January 2010. One whole year of blogging... it's going to be challenging, I can say that for certain.

Adieu,
~John




ps. The graphic is a hash brown (heh heh)

Phone Pics?

You can't be serious. Honestly, I took more crappy pics with my phone and I'm now gonna dump them on here? No wai.

Yes wai. Reel #6 is here, and some of it is actually good.

Bus stop, dark cloudy sky. Quite nice perspective IMO.

A nice blurry pikcha.

Relaxing on the bus, putting my feet up after a long, tiring day at school. I like the angle on this (I guess you could call it a 'crotch-shot' :P ), but that's all.

What's this? A tropical rainforest, teeming with wildlife? A humid overgrown wasteland on the equator? No, it's the dump by an alleyway near my road, which the local council is either not aware of or (more likely) just ignores.

Did I mention God lives on my bus?

Oh, that's it. Ah well, at least some of it made it here. Also, a funny thought: why not rewrite the famous Lady Gaga song 'Just Dance' to 'Just Dansk'? Hee hee.

Happy Birthday (x2)

Yeah, it's time for two birthdays. On the 21st, it's Brickspace's first birthday (aww, bless), and two days before, on the 19th, it's my birthday! I'll make a post on the day/the day after showing y'all what I got - you'll stay in the loop. Speaking of 1-year anniversaries, I bet none of you remember my birthday post from last year!

Ah, happy days, happy days. In fact, don't follow that link. It's got a picture of me on it. Even Jimmy McGrew wouldn't want to see that, would you Jimmy? "No, John, no I wouldn't."

You probably won't be all that pleased to know that I've found a new picture of Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, which inevitably means I made some more Jørgen-related graphics. And I did. This time, Jørgen is running for 'statsminister', which is the Danish prime minister.

What's scarier than one Jørgen? Three Jørgens, each getting progressively darker and smaller!

Then there's my Obama-style one. The text at the bottom reads: "vote for Jørgen! Has he got your vote?"

I get bored easily :(

Banner: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" sorry, I said I was out of ideas.

100 posts!

Well, 100 posts at the last post. This is 101 - so something like the Dalmation post.

Anyways, I guess I'd better show you some stuff so you don't run off. This is, in all honesty, just a post to say something about the 100 posts and also I realised I had barely posted in September :(

Sure, I get bored sometimes - so I create fictional Danish creative agencies and make websites for them. And yes, I know 'vilkom' is wrong - I gave my Danish book back to my library ._.,

I've launched two blogs in the past month: the first is Brickspace Opinions (above), which is not technically launched, but it's pretty much finished in design terms. Then there's my struggling 'science and other strange stuff about time' blog, Dimensionality. I'll be updating it every week, if all goes to plan.

Now then, let me just look for some other good pictures to show ye all. Oh wait... where's my harddrive folder!? What?! WHAT!??! Oh--

I accidentally my whole hard drive.

Sorry, I just found that picture (I traced over the original) and thought I might put it up here. Don't worry, my hard drive is perfectly fine.

Banner: Now I'm out of ideas. [no really, I am. Banner ideas, anyone?]

Gee...

It's been a while since I posted here. Sad, in't it? Well, not really.

Now for a quick overview of what happened since I last posted. I posted the following successful (!) pictures on Flickr:

The armchair on the left (posted just yesterday) has become very popular, with 12 comments and 4 faves in under 90 views. Well, less comments if you discount the conversation about whether Mika is gay or not :P

And this is my desk. Well, it was last week. It's a bit neater now, but anyway. This shows some of the stuff that my life is all about: my computer, with the prelim homepage of my website. Hopefully that will be finished soon. Then there's all my textbooks and newsletters and schoolbooks, because last week I went back to school ( .__. ). You can also see my phone (which it seems like everyone else I know has), and the then-latest edition of NewScientist magazine, to which I am subscribed. It may even be the one with the article about higher dimensions... that was such an awesome article.

Well, I'm off to see District 9 on sunday. Maybe I might just do what I really feel I should do and write a review of it. You'll just have to see!
