Tell us a bit about yourself

I work as a professor at the Art Institute of Tampa – I also work as a freelance illustrator and cartoonist. I recently self-published my first book, “PC Weenies: Rebootus Maximus”, featuring characters from my long running webcomic, “The PC Weenies”. When I’m not teaching, I spend the balance of my time between freelance work and my family.

Ever wonder just how big the internet really is nowadays? Want to know which website rules the world? (Spolier: Its Facebook.) Check out the very artistic and well edited motion graphic piece below to educate yourself.

File this story under, I-want-to-grow-up-just-to-be-like-this-guy.  Wes, father of 2 lucky kids, has painted a Super Mario Bros. 3 wall mural for his 2 year old son. The process photos he took shows that he painted the whole mural pixel by pixel.

A little bit of background story: just found out my wife is pregnant with our second kid (we were trying) and our two and a half year old son will soon need to be transitioned from the nursery to a big-boy room.  I wanted to make his big-boy room special for him, make it a fun place in which he looks forward to spending lots of time.  I started this process about 2 years ago, got about half-way through the process and then stalled for a year and a half or so.  Once I found out our second kid was on the way, I wanted to get the mural done as soon as possible so that our son could get used to spending more time in his new room and be comfortable in there when we finally moved him out of the nursery.

I just hope that kid doesn’t grow up to ask, “Dad, why are these graphics pixelated? Why didn’t you do any anti-aliasing?”

Artist of the Week is back with this week’s featured artist: Ethan Nicolle. I first started to hear about Ethan’s work while doing my frequent search on Deviant Art. There was some talk about this WebComic called Axe Cop. I wasn’t familiar with it but was interested in checking it out, almost at that same moment Nelson started to ping me about it to :) Be sure to check out Ethan’s Website www.EthanNicolle.com along with Axe Cop. Below is a small interview with Ethan.

I’m just a guy who has drawn comics most of his life.  I have always been into black and white indy comics more than mainstream, though I swear I am not hell bent on being punk rock, I just like my black and white comics.  I sort of worked my way up after doing a bunch of forgettable stuff and got a book called Chumble Spuzz with SLG Publishing which was nominated for an Eisner for Best Humor Publication in 2009.  I have a pilot optioned at Cartoon Network and most recently I am known as the guy who draws the web comic Axe Cop, which is written by my 5 year old brother.

Straight from a tweet form one of our readers, Mathew has posted screen shots of how the new Facebook is looking like.  Personally, I have never been a fan of Facebook’s current layout, but then again, I doubt I could do any better.  Past the break are the screenshots of the future of Facebook.  After viewing these, I think I’ll be happy with the design.  It’s very reminiscent of the iTunes/Mac OSX Finder layout.  Simple shortcuts or menus on the left, and everything else happens on the right with a simple search bar at the top.

Good job, Facebook. I look forward to your achievement of keeping productivity down in schools and businesses across the world by 25% or more.

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Hello, my name is Yaya Han and I am a cosplay idol and costume designer currently residing in Atlanta, GA. I have been making costumes and modeling for over 10 years now and am one of the only cosplayers in the world to turn this hobbyist activity into a career. I guess you can say that I’m a household name in the world of geekdom. I travel world-wide to teach workshops and panels on costume making, and to judge contests and host events, not to mention constantly working on new costume projects. I have a lot of fun playing dress up every week but also work hard and never have a day off lol.

Flop Culture has, what could be, the best Valentines Day gift you could give someone this year.  For you ladies, you can use this to help your significant others practice their combos on Street Fighter 4. For you men, you can use this to help your significant others understand how powerful the Konami code really is.

Update: If you want one for yourself, it comes from this foreign site.

Why yes, we will have Yaya Han from http://yayahan.com/ on the show tonight!

Why yes, you could talk to her, but you have to go to PixelatedLIVE.com @ 7:30 PST.

Hope to talk to you guys, come one out!
