I had a Canon 20D for an evening two days ago and figured I had to do something with it before I gave it back.

I’m not sure you can tell but I used the blue LED on one of my external hard drives as a backlight. Nifty!
Inuit Jargon is in the paper — and not just any paper — the newspaper. Here’s our mention that we got today in The Alligator:
INUIT JARGON
Get ready to laugh and be musically impressed at the same time. Everything seems to be a big gag for these three talented jokesters - everything except their sound. This band can make anything into a song that is sure to get stuck in your head.
Why You Should Listen:Who wouldn’t want to listen to toe-tapping pop and rock tunes with lyrics spanning the important issues of pulled pork sandwiches and Lance Bass? Their smooth sound and comical lyrics give Inuit Jargon a reputation around Gainesville for being one of the most original acts in town.
Read the whole article.
So back when we released all dozen copies of Inuit Jargon’s first “album,” Who Authorized This? my then friend now roommate Tim “remixed” the title song from our Pumpkin Pie Sessions EP and transformed it into the “Pumpkin Pie Overture”
I still find the remix hilarious.
Still flush with free time to do anything I felt like, I designed a potential cover for what Tim’s Inuit Jargon remix album would be and made it into a wallpaper.
The full title of the would-be album was Pumpkin Pie Sessions: The DJ Tanner (re)Mixes … The joke with the parentheses is that none of the songs that we recorded were actually “mixed” so any “re”mixing he’d do to the songs would just be mixing.

Interestingly enough, I’d reuse pretty much all of this art a year later for the cover of the first real Inuit Jargon album, Hot From the Oven, when we ran out of time to make the cover because we needed send it to the printers in time for our CD release show the following month.

A quick doodle I made when I was testing my Graphire Tablet back in February 2007. I still really like the curls in the sun and the gradient of light coming up from behind the hills.
I’ve also always liked this style with the skinny black, sketchy lines. Too bad I can’t draw figures, or this might’ve been pretty cool.

Another one of those backgrounds I made for my laptop back in early 2005. I must’ve had so much free time back then. There are so many of them with weird filenames hidden around my hard drive.
I’ve realized the amount of money I make is almost a direct inverse proportion to the amount of free time I have. Something to think about.
Drawn in pencil in a notebook. Scanned to get rid of notebook lines and digitally colored.
Finally a drawing that’s not 2 years old. Flowers for a special someone. From 2007.
An “Autobiographical photo series” for the first project Jean Dennison assigned in her Visual Anthropology class Freshman year (2005). Apparently, I didn’t understand the assignment.

Lens flare? Ewwwww…
Now that I think about it, this really marks the beginning of a trend for all of my video and photo projects:
Something to think about I guess.
Thanks a lot for everybody’s help: Matt, Bailey, Beth, Skeet, et al.
