[Apartment 303: Brian Says...]

Brian says many things. Some of it is smart, some of it is entertaining, some of it is useless...

But sometimes Brian opens his mouth to speak and golden pearls of wisdom pour out.

That is why I made this series.

[Fun with Photoshop]

Sometimes I get bored.
Sometimes I get really bored.
Sometimes I get so bored I end up photoshopping my dog's face on assorted pictures.

This was one of those days.

Yep.

[Apartment 303: A masterpiece in the making]

I recently decided to make a series using our characters in famous paintings. It has been challenging but very fun and I think they look pretty neat. I will continue to add to the series as I find more art works I would like to remake.

If you have any ideas please send them my way!

[Picture of the day: Spore Creature]

My husband downloaded the Spore Creature Creator yesterday. The adorable creature below is one I made last night. I call him Grumbledorf. Stinkin' cute, huh?



Brian has been talking about Spore for over a year and this September it will finally be available. The game has you follow the development of a creature from a single-celled organism swimming in a pool of muck all the way through its evolution to a self-aware creature with a thriving civilization, eventually finding its way out into the stars. Sounds pretty neat. Although most of my time will undoubtedly be spent on the creature creation phase, I am excited about the release. :)

(True story! LOL)


(I borrowed this punchline from Kevin James' stand-up. Too funny.)






Let's get physical, physical,
I wanna get physical, let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk,
Your body talk, let me hear your body talk

Oh Olivia Newton John... :)

(It's like this every time he eats.)



(I try to make all the business names in my comics rhyme... I swear I didn't mean for the name of the gas station to reference flatulence. I didn't even notice it until days after I made the comic. Oh well.)



(This was another actual conversation. They had some exfoliator called Cosmedicine on the shopping network. Brian was flexing his genius muscle again and came up with this.)


(You know you it has crossed your mind too. We saw a terrible Hummer last Friday that had giant barbed wire decals all the way around it. Is it a joke? Do they really not know how ridiculous they look? Inconceivable!)


(Another actual conversation. Car rides with Brian are especially fun.)
