Make Me Some Art

Wednesday, 4. November 2009, 10:03:22

Hey! Are you bored like me? Then do this! (If you havent already on facebook months ago but do it again!)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. (It's album art, so make the picture square)



Here's my band, Paretroplus with our debut cd, I Have It No Longer.
IN STORES NOW!

There is good money in album art. I designed a cd cover for a guy and am getting paid R800 for it apparently. COOL!

Gavin Sheedy 4. November 2009, 14:19

:yes:

Lu 4. November 2009, 16:34

All that for only one easy payment of $29.99??! *grabs phone*

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 17:09

Why yes caller #2! A once off payment of $29.99 and if you call right this very second, you get a whole 5 cents off the original price! Can anyone spell BARGAIN?
*huge cheesy salesperson grin*

Gavin Sheedy 4. November 2009, 17:10

Waaaait, ye're in this together! :furious:

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 17:12

Possibly :left: :right:
Hey! Where's your cover art hmm??

Gavin Sheedy 4. November 2009, 17:29

I don't have photoshop. Maybe Picas will suffice...

Hermitess 4. November 2009, 18:50

Oh i saw this on FB! :D

I don't have photoshop either. :frown: *feels left out* Will paint work?

Hermitess 4. November 2009, 18:56

:lol: My art photo was a scary homeless man gaping at the camera holding a cigarette! :lol: It wouldn't let me save it to my hard drive though. :frown:

Necroholics (to continue on our theme from Conors blog yesterday), a picture featuring a couple dieing of thirst because they can't bare to stop kissing.

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 19:33

eeeeew Gavin! :ko: visions of skeletal people and tongue action *barf*

:lol: Lindsay!

Gavin Sheedy 4. November 2009, 19:37

:lol: Sorry.

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 19:38

and why are you still online!? go draw some art cards or sleep off your sickness! cootie-monger! P:

Gavin Sheedy 4. November 2009, 19:40

:lol: I have cleaned a bit, and assembled all the art cards I've received into one, scannable location... but I think I shall surrender and go to bed. I may even go to work tomorrow, got to share the cooties, you know. p:

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 19:43

Yes of course. How else would pandemics spread so quickly?! Did you get my cartoon card by the way? and what time is it by you now?

Hermitess 4. November 2009, 20:06

Assembled the art cards you've RECEIVED. Gavin! You are supposed to be working on SENDING. gah.

:left:

Men.

:right:



Hermitess 4. November 2009, 20:07

Bianca did you ever get my card from last month? was it squished? Homer: Doh!

ShallowMuse 4. November 2009, 20:16

The cartoon one Lindsay? No i havent got it yet.. hopefully it isnt squished but if its in a bubble wrap envelope again, it wont be! :lol:

Hermitess 4. November 2009, 20:30

No I meant the scrapbook one, The cartoon is on it's way! was wondering how long it took them to get there

Cσησя Mμяρнỵ 4. November 2009, 20:59

I'm on it! :yes: :headbang:

Cσησя Mμяρнỵ 4. November 2009, 21:11



I admittedly cheated with the quote a little haha.

Gavin Sheedy 5. November 2009, 02:21

Yes! I got it! And ones from Lindsay, Lucy and Henry... I did a friends only post mentioning that, I never know if ye get notified of those. :lol: German gerbils! I liked! And Rhubarb and Custard from Lucy... I'd totally forgotten about them. I think that Lindsay's is last months. Laughter. Or maybe I'm confusing myself. It's 3.21 A.M., couldn't sleep.

Sorry for disappearing like that, my super duper free internet died. Karma! p:

ShallowMuse 5. November 2009, 08:26

Oh i did get the scrapbooky one Lindsay! :yes:
Yea, the notifications on this thing are a bit strange.. sometimes i get them, sometimes a dont.. gah!

Hermitess 5. November 2009, 22:55

I guess I missed that notification Gavin :frown: I will look. And the laughter one is from last month. :eyes: It too 4 weeks to get to you?!! Holy cheese, I will have to get them sent sooner.

Well you are getting another Gavin! Yes Bianca yours is on it's way as well. :smile: Lu and Henry too. I mailed them all out on Oct 30 I think. :up:

Gavin Sheedy 6. November 2009, 08:11

Post from America is weird. Sometimes it get here in week, my record is seven months; it came to Ireland via Israel. p: But between a week and a month is normal.

Lu 6. November 2009, 11:39

I get it in a week :up: which is amazing considering the postmen spend more time striking than delivering anything!
I sent mine out last week so i'm hoping everyone got it ok.
Once i sent mail to someone who lived 30 miles away and it took a month to get there, which we later found out was due to the fact it went via Ireland and had a little holiday! Nice!

Gavin Sheedy 6. November 2009, 11:42

I sent a postcard from Denmark to Ireland, and it went via Thailand.

Hermitess 6. November 2009, 19:36

I just today got Bianca's cartoon card and so far none from anyone else (well except Henry but he sent his realllllly early).

Bianca you are awesome! I loved my cartoon. :D I will post it when I get the others. Maybe by then I'll have my camera/old computer/laptop sorted out so I can have pics from a real camera instead of my phone camera. You all would prob appreciate that! :lol:

ShallowMuse 6. November 2009, 20:02

Yay! Yea i got Lucy's on Thursday.. :hat: so will post pics as they come in (can't remember what cards i post on here and what not! must tag properly! must tag! :insane: )

i wish i were a letter. i'd get to see more of the world that way!

Aleksander Aas 20. November 2009, 16:03

My contribution

Gavin Sheedy 20. November 2009, 16:54

Not bad at all at all.

ShallowMuse 20. November 2009, 17:01

oh thats very nice hey! :yes:

Manny Calavera 20. November 2009, 18:11

:lol: what a great idea, too bad I'm a n00b with photoshop, but my MS Paint skillz are good P:

Strangely, all the album covers make me think of post hardcore bands except the first one which reminds me of Porcupine Tree...hmmm... *listens to Rise Against*
