Another strange idea involving unborn children


I've been wrapping presents in tin foil and newspaper way before it was cool...so, maybe I started another trend with this odd idea. For my aunt's baby shower, Mike and I got two little outfits for the soon-to-be tyke. We didn't want to present them in the normal way--balling them up and putting them in the bag they came in. So, I thought, why not put them on cardboard cut outs of baby bodies...and use our heads as their faces. Hence you see Mike trying to kiss himself in this picture. They were a hit. My family laughed. And my mom did too! See mom, I'm no crazy.

A little bit more

What happens when I create animation in Illustrator and put it to music from a Target commercial?

Being a native Philly chick, I grew up watching commercials for regional businesses like, "Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastee Kake" and "Make Herrs Yours." This one is for a Philadelphia institution called ACME (even though it's used by so many supermarkets nationwide). But here's what I see in my mind when that can-can commercial plays in my brain.

Hello in there...

My active imagination concocts the strangest senarios, often wierd and wonderous at the same time.

Here are a few ideas to let twist around in your mind:

Urban Crunch Cereal:
filled with whole grain cars and sugary smog pieces. Different flavors would cover different cities. More "green" cities would feature more marshmellow trees. More polluted cities would feature "traffic jams," a gaggle of whole grain cars bunched together.

The Alarm Clock:
So what would get your attention more? A slightly annoying buzzer, OR someone shouting that your house is on fire, or that your wife is cheating on you? That's the idea behind the "Alarm Clock." You just enter in your biggest fears and when the time comes for you to wake from your peaceful slumber, you'll get a booming voice confirming one of your fears. You choose which one you hear on which day. Up to 7 different fears.

Blood or Ketchup:
A site devoted to telling if it's a picture of blood or ketchup. Because sometimes it's too damn hard to tell them apart. Also sprinkled in would be other strange thoughts... for when I can't get enough pictures of blood, er ketchup.
