100 Artists Project Update
2007-04-11 07:34:00 We’re up to 75 artists now and yesterday got a plug from the folks at Comic Book Resources. Easily one of the biggest projects I’ve helmed and I’m not afraid to say it, I’m a bit freaked out. I could easily have this published on Amazon using their proprietary on-demand publishing and have it hit some pretty big numbers. Not only that, if it’s successful, we’ll be able to do it in rotating groups. Once one phase is done, start another one. I’ve got a couple guys helping me build a site too, so hopefully this won’t be sitting on a message board forever. It’ll be so much easier to get information to people and get their contact information without having to check 2 email accounts and dozens of message boards/community sites. Still, it’s all for a good cause, so who am I to complain about publicity. If anyone’s got information about non-profit or charitable organizations and how to run them, by all means let me...

Laptop Thieves Photos Automatically Sent to Flickr
2007-04-09 16:52:00 Photo 137.jpg Originally uploaded by TOPSHOP. I wonder what kind of precedent this will set. To recap, someone’s laptop was stolen. The culprits used the laptop to take pictures of themselves. (It’s an MacBook with a built in camera.) The laptop apparently has some software and scripts that automatically send any image captured by the onboard camera straight to Flickr. These photos are the result. So now there is a group of photos showing four, possibly five people acting completely retarded (as most people with this camera technology do) and being captured for legal posterity. I’m wondering, when they’re caught, who’s the star witness? I mean, there will be informants and people who call/email and say they know these people, but is the MacBook the actual witness? Would that be allowed in court? Committing a crime or not, these people had their images unknowingly transmitted, I’m sure some legal eagle will try to get this thrown out on some ...

Figures
2007-04-08 18:35:00 I had just made up my mind that I’d be moving this whole thing off my web server and back over to Blogger when I stumble upon a way to get it working again. al·ba·tross /ˈælbəˌtrɔs, -ˌtrɒs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[al-buh-traws, -tros] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. any of several large, web-footed sea birds of the family Diomedeidae that have the ability to remain aloft for long periods. Compare wandering albatross. 2. a seemingly inescapable moral or emotional burden, as of guilt or responsibility. 3. something burdensome that impedes action or progress. So now I’m torn. I don’t want to lose all the writing I’ve done (some of the posts I could do without) but I also don’t want to keep this up. I like the idea of being able to save images to my own server and then display them wherever and whenever I want. I don’t like that I have to circumvent the port blocking an...

Bits O’ Nothing Wednesday (late)
2007-04-05 18:25:00 Sorry, missed out of the weekly BoNW post. I’ve been a bit busy this last week. My job this last week has been hectic and stuff at home isn’t getting any easier. I don’t know if my request to the Q Continuum has been received but so far we still only have 24 hours in the day, which kinda sucks. So let’s get started. Another plug again for Len’s Monsters by Mail. I would have plugged Adam’s Hobo request project, but it finished so fast it didn’t need any extra help. Another plug for the Robot Portraits. The 100 Artists Project is up to 50 artists. We need more. If you know an artist, send them my way. I’m running out of message boards to post to. I’ve hit all the comic boards of which I’m a member, some just barely and it hasn’t apparently caught on. It’s funny what changes in a week. It’s not that I’ve ditched the 700 Thing s project, but somehow I railroaded myself into a bunch of oth... More About: Nothing , Late , Wednesday , Bits

Project Gemini and 100 Artists
2007-04-03 04:50:00 Project Gemini #1 cover Originally uploaded by xadrian. I keep forgetting I’ve done a comic book. Someone off Penciljack sent me a message saying they wanted a copy and it’s been almost two years but luckily I still have a few dozen. So while I had a copy sitting out on the counter, LMA picked it up and started reading it. My baby girl read my comic. She took it to bed with her and red it to herself. If that doesn’t make you want to do another one, absolutely nothing will. So, once I get a few other things done, I’m going to do Project: Gemini #2. I have 6 to do so I’ll just get these done and then we’ll see. I still have copies of this available. If you’d like one, you can send $3 via paypal to ben.lifeinausitn@gmail.com with your mailing address and I’ll shoot you a copy. Limited to about 20 because that’s all I have left, but I’m not worried about a run on them. On another note, I’m organizing a truly ... More About: Artist , Project , Artists , Mini
Robot Portraits
More articles from this author:2007-04-01 17:23:00 Taking a cue off some friends on Flickr, I’ll be doing robot portraits for just $10. Each image will be drawn on a 5×9.5″ bristol card stock. You can email me with your request. If you want to include a photo or a link to a photo, I’ll turn the lovely person into a robot. If you don’t have a picture but would just like a random robot, that’s ok too. Turn around time shouldn’t be a problem unless there becomes a huge rush of requests. Expect at least 10 days until you receive it (at most.) The easiest method is Paypal. If you include the name of the robot, or a link to an image you want portraitized, you can just follow the button. If you need to send an image, feel free to use the link below (the one that says “Make payments”, for some reason I can’t get the button to show up) and then email me. Thanks for looking!
