MY WIFE APPROVES
I can get my Cintiq 12WX. Drawing in powerpoint is fun (and handy) but I think I can do alot more with the Cintiq.

BODY-PAINTING BY NUMBERS
My link to Just Whatever below got me looking more into this body-painting thing. There is some very good work out there. Below is a partial roundup (mildly NSFW--painted boobies) from flickr. I keep writing about characters with multipile faces, eyes and whatnot; in fact, asymmetry is a theme of mine. These pics actually help me put images to words.
Great stuff:
Robert Eric's Gemaldelady and check out his Liechtenstein:
Damn Dirty's set, with the awesome monkey man:
Finally, Wildcatfin's awesome captures at Seeboden.

S'MORE: FROM MY DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK
A Baby...
A Ditty:
"Eviscerating evildoers,
That is what we all are true too…
We are the John, John Laws…
When putting bad guys in the ground,
You’ll never, ever see us frown…
We are the John, John Laws…
Protecting your deoxribose
From Dr. Hippy’s evil lyses
We are the John, John Laws…
We’ll hang tough through the darkest night,
Prepared to push back all the fright…
We are the John, John Laws…
When things get tough don’t abdicate,
Call us, we’ll eradicate...
Remember, we’re the John, John Laws."
And some dudes:

POWERPOINT: EVOLVED
Got a little better visualizing with my powerpoint 'toons. Granted, powerpoint isn't a high powered graphics tool, but it is everywhere I am. Give me a clean sheet of powerpoint and a mouse over a WACOM tablet (except one) and a graphics suite any day of the week (and yes, these pictures are what inside my mind).
Small, compact, and easy to upload. I like.

VISUAL ICONOGRAPHY
Interesting fact:
Gerd Arntz designed around 4000 signs, which symbolized key data from industry, demographics, politics and economy, for the visual language Isotype.
Including this early representation of Rosie the Robot:
