Holy Paintings, Batman!


Christopher Uminga is a freakin’ genius!  He is the mastermind behind the paintings/drawings I am posting on here. I really like the way he paints everything so zombie like. His drawings have so much to say while truly being painted in a  surreal way.

I am an illustrator and a painter. I see monsters in my head and I put them on paper or canvas and let them play.This is my art;I paint and draw things that make me happy.

My favorite painting that I have posted has to be The Joker.  The absolute insanity Christopher portrays in his eyes is awesome.  The blood stained card and hands – exceptional!  Let us not forget he painted The Joker in true form to the original Joker in the Batman series, right down to his corsage.  What he paints is true new age masterpieces.

I know I posted mostly, OK, entirely comic book characters, but he also creates more than just that. If it goes bump in the night or possibly in the day, Christopher will paint it, hell he will even paint your insanities for a price.  If you want to check out more of his work or commission him to paint you a masterpiece, you can click here.  If you really like his stuff and want to have updates of what he is doing you can befriend him on FaceBook here.  Oh, and if you want to get updates from me on FaceBook, click here.  I know…shameless plug.

Coolest thing since sliced Bread!

volcano, watch There are lots of companies out there that make beautiful watches, such as this Romain Jerome Volcano Watch.  The problem with them is that no matter how expensive they are, how exclusive they are are, or how Swiss they are, they all function pretty much the same way. They also fundamentally look the same, minute hand, hour hand, or digital.

They were made this way for a reason…so that no matter where you are, you can look at a clock or watch and know what time it is. This is true for just about everywhere…except Japan.

That’s right, the country with some of the weirdest sh*t, makes these awesome art pieces that double as every geeks fantasy.  There is a company named TokyoFlash that creates such pieces.  They range from the mild, like the Nekura line that look pretty much like regular watches, to the extreme such as the Kisai line that includes “Changing Lanes“, which is a watch that you need to follow the lines that cross over each other.

Kisai changing lanes

I wanted one of these watches for years but couldn’t bring myself to cut into my food budget to actually get one.   I checked the sites weekly to see what the newest insanity was that they were going to create next.  Well it is Father’s Day weekend here in the US and my wonderful wife, who has been going through her own medical issues and recovery, bought me a TokyoFlash watch!  The R75 to be exact, tells time in binary along with it’s own twisted “normal” time.  Plus, it is black with blue LEDs which adds a cool and sophisticated touch to give the TAG Heuer, Rolex, and Citizen watches a run for their money.

So, if your significant other is an Uber-Geek and you have no idea what to buy them, check out something that will stimulate them visually as well as mentally. I mean, who doesn’t want to take 5 minutes to figure out what time it is – especially during those long a$$ boring meetings?

Everyone Loves iGoogle Gadgets!!

So I know this guy who owns this website that is like social bookmarking on crack and he has created this awesome new Google Gadget.  The name of the site is TagFoot and it rocks!  Now those of you who have been reading this blog or those of you poor unfortunet souls who know me in real life, know that I am not one to promote other peoples sites unless they they do one of two things.

1) They pay me.  In this case I would love anything depending on how much they want to give me.

2) The site really kicks ass and they never asked for anything. AKA I do it for free and hope I get some good Karma.

In this case it is the latter of the two.  Scott is the coder/guru of the ‘Foot and has poured his blood, sweat, and tears into this thing.  It isn’t really the bookmarking aspect of the site that makes it rock, it is the personal interaction with some of the greatest people from around the world not to mention Scott is right there in the mix with everyone else.

Anyways now that I am done inflating Tagfoot’s social ego, it has come out with an incredible iGoogle Gadget.  Everything on Tagfoot is set-up with Tags, yeah I know big surprise every site is set-up that way now.  True but what Scott did was make a gadget that actually goes out and grabs every article that has a related tag on the site and give you a nice brief synopsis of it with a hyperlink to the actual article itself.  See now how did you ever live with out it before?  Check out below for some pictures of the tool in action!

Random Mush Conversation 10/27/09

*Disclaimer: No real pumpkins were harmed in the making of this random mush episode. Fried for your entertainment and baked into pumpkiny Halloween goodness…

WebSpinstress
New England pumpkins and apples…great for more than feeding and decorating. Nature’s natural weapons. lol

Faustus
I should run my self defense class using pumpkins

WebSpinstress
Hehehe…when your students can “hi-ya” the pumpkin and carve out a Jack-o-lantern with their bare hands, that’s when they will be considered masters. LMAO

Faustus
Screw carving it with power tools… I carve my pumpkin with Chi and pure violence.

WebSpinstress
Look…the spider web….chop..kachink…plunk… :-)

Faustus
And with only 1 casualty! …someone call an ambulance so we can get Billy’s spleen back inside him

WebSpinstress
Not bad, not bad…no fatalities for the day today. Tomorrow we shall master the throwing up pumpkin technique.

Faustus
hwarf

WebSpinstress
No…not after you eat it. Only fingers allowed this time. You have to jam them straight through the rind and rip out the innards with no hand chopping. Finger strengthening. lol
You should SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO make a youtube video on the art of mastering the pumpkin technique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Faustus
“how to defend yourself against gords and pumpkins”

WebSpinstress
Yes and then how to defend yourself using them. lol

Faustus
*raises the pumpkin high above me and smashes it straight down onto your head
HUMAN JACK O LANTERN
render your attacker blind!
and let the hilarity ensue
now light it on fire!

WebSpinstress
LMAO!
*spitting seeds into your forehead….
Watch your eyeballs…

Faustus
AH! *throws lit tea lights into the pumpkin setting your head ablaze

WebSpinstress
*Pulls flaming lid off the top and whips it at your head…
Hold on….loading up a pie crust with boiling pumpkin mush.
ok…continue.
mmmmmmm

Faustus
*drops like a sack of potatos from the flaming pumpkin
*shakes off the burning bits and runs to get my carving tools

WebSpinstress
Ahhhhhhh

Faustus
*runs back out with a rather large kitchen knife and a serrated chunk of metal
Hi!
*throws the kitchen knife at you, sticking it to your sternum

WebSpinstress
*catching falling flaming pumpkin chunks, rolls them into a firey ball….sprinkling with pumpkin spice….bakes them into muffins….
Loads them into cannon….
Haha!

Faustus
…all with a knife stuck in your chest
….oh crap.

WebSpinstress
Yep ;-)

Faustus
…that knife is really nice tho

WebSpinstress
*Grabs a spoon and mixes head full of boiling pumpkin guts….
Watch out – it’s hot! Pumpkin soup
*Flings a burning spoonful in your direction

Faustus
*attempts to dodge… only taking 2nd degree burns on my arm
HOLY FLAMING PUMPKIN NAPALM BATMAN!

WebSpinstress
* Stabbing falling flaming pumpkin chunks with an arrow
Mwahahaha
Kachink….got your leg

Faustus
*runs at you, cutting at…. falls down from the arrow
…ow.

WebSpinstress
You’re forever branded by the flaming Jack-o-lantern
That one was in the shape of a skull though, so now you match Porkschop…ironically.

Faustus
*hobbles at you with the serrated chunk steel and tackles you… pinning your arm and sawing off your hand

WebSpinstress
*Falls over one-handedly and accidentely smashes the pumpkin head into tiny embers. :-(
Oh, pooey!

Faustus
*starts carving your hand to look like a horrific hamburger helper clone
*makes it dance like a dark puppet of finger meat
nom nom nom
lol

WebSpinstress
*Kicks a pile of embers your way in hopes of revenge. But use them to crisp the fingers first! Easier for digestion…

Faustus
oooo bbq WebSpinstress fingers. *gets out some sweet & sour dipping sauce

WebSpinstress
*Shoots out spinning web then breaks out black widow teeth and chomps you in the neck…
Hehehe..backup abilities.

Faustus
*grabs you by the back of the face and throws you against the wall, clutching my neck as the venom sinks in

WebSpinstress
There. You lose. :-P
1 more point for WebSpinstress!

Faustus
*dies… and waits….
*twitches…
*ceases to breathe…
*is still…
…….
*eyes jerk open
*sits up, not breathing…
*stands up but stays crouched in a low hunting position

WebSpinstress
*raises the pumpkin high above me and smashes it straight down onto your head
ZOMBIE JACK O LANTERN

Igor! Fetch me my Brain!

It is coming up to my favorite time of year again, Halloween!!!  This year I have been wracking my brain for an old school mad scientist layout for some pictures.  You see I have this problem, I have to try and one up my costume from last year or make the decorations in the house just that much better than the year before.  As I have gotten older, I have had more money, time, expensive taste in the elaborate set-ups that I crave.  Like most of us, I have resorted to DIYing most of my layouts.  So enough of me talking, let me show you a killer idea I had this year.

Leech jar with leeches.phpAtomic Brain

So nothing says mad scientist lab like a jar or leeches and a pulsating brain in a jar.

An autopsy pump for getting every...last...drop!
