Graphic Adventure Game?

Photobucket

I've been running a lot of ideas in my head these past few weeks, and this is an old one that needs to be re-examined. The concept is a graphic adventure game like the kind that were popular in the late 80's and early-to-mid 90's. I've been examining how I could make it work through HTML, but the logistics and time might be excruciating. My knowledge of Flash is also pretty weak comparatively.

But I felt like posting these characters as a way of keeping myself on point!

TTYL!

Block Prints and Foot in Mouth (I mean In The Door!)

Photobucket

This week's comic in the back page of City Pages, the Twin Cities most popular alt-weekly. Fun stuff!

My friend Heather asked me to teach her how to lino-block print, so I brought over my cutter and some linoleum, and we spent the evening working on art. This was one of the two prints I made.

I of course, have been using this Essdee Baren kit. It's pretty neat. Heather used the Speedball kit. Traditional and reliable, but doesn't include the neat baren with it!

The purpose was for her to make her valentine's day cards, so following suite, I made one of my own.

Minneapolis Institute of Art is putting on their once-every-ten-(10)-years show, called Foot In The Door. It was created to show off Minnesota Artists, and allow many to put on their resumes that they've had exhibition experience at a major metropolitan art museum. You read that first sentence right, it only happens every 10 years.

I didn't have time to take a proper scan or better photo, but this is my submission. Seeing as there's about 4500+ pieces going up this show, I figure giving you an idea of what it looks like will be helpful.

TTYL!
