Done??

Halloween Dream

2009-10-22T09:00:00.000-07:00

What was scary was, when the warning came true...
and I was behind the wheel of a machine...

Dreamt in a Truckee California Hotel during my small market
radio days..I had worked at a "Ka-HI" this was when I worked at KHOE..
I actually found that there was a K-HUM too...wouldn't that have been rich
to have worked at KAY---HI--HO and HUM...

Words...I love em !

All it needs is an ending !

What I thought was attention deficit disorder, was thankfully... only merging in and out of other layers of reality--alternate dimensions-- and bending the cosmic wallpaper...

whew ! I'm relieved ...I thought it was something serious !

2012

Tired of Holiday decorations and New Years ads popping up before Halloweens over?
I thought I'd go beyond that predictable mark and shoot this subject prematurely your way !

Last chance for a summer 'song' ?

I hesitate to put this little movie up-
- there are so many other problems in the world to care about -
- one of my main peeves seems so miniscule...

The BEST EVER Help Line !!!

After careful consideration here at Pickledish house, we advise against believing anything the 'first' guy says...it appears he has a pine cone for hair....and that cannot lead to clear thinking...especially as it seems to rotate..cutting into any gray matter he may have.

Thank You

For the love of hair ...

---Face Trick---

I got a laptop--reconditioned one...see, I only know the landscape of my OLD desktop with Windows 98--so I figure if my 10 year old mainstay computer ever dies --I'd better have sumpin in line that will record voice..allow me to draw and animate---so the 26 sec movie above--is me drawing in Amorphium and Moho on the Laptop...and recording the voice on the cheesy mic that is built in...it proves that I can work with the new program--but I can tell I have to upgrade the mic... the movie woulda been better at a higher frame rate...but this is what turned out to fit for time.
so, funny? .
..uhh...maybe...
a test O' the Thorndike Pickledish communication lab...
yes !

The other day I had to change my answering machine...it's diaper was full of telemarketing droppings....couldn't think of much--but here is the one that answers my phone today....

The other day I found an interesting site--that has an attached contest, simulcast on You Tube...Needing a place to put most of my short films at once, I plopped in 6 films over at BIT FILM-- CLICK HERE
My Favorite aspect is being able to make up stupid names as credits on the film...this, to me is more fun than the films themselves...
for special effects in one, I wrote 'Hal Lou Cynation'---ha ha Hallucination ...
in music for one, I wrote "Hertz Meinhead" --hurts mine head...hee hee..

go on over, see what I mean, n' thanks

All talk and no Cars !

2009-04-18T15:39:00.000-07:00

It is once again time to steal from myself...I invented the names of these GM cars long ago...but now they are more appropriate--it is your doody to support them !

Also on cars...I've always loved the older Jaguar models...and the fine marque has changed owners in the last many years...finally to be taken over by Tata motors of India...I remember when people would say ..."Hey man...nice Jag !!!"

If I had my old Mark 10 right hand drive, back again, and my 1976 XJ12L in my driveway....would I hear ..."Hey man ....Nice Tata's"

I hope not.....

back to the pec deck for more flyes

My Favorite Picture

2009-04-17T11:26:00.001-07:00

I was on the beach a few weeks ago --and saw this --just had to shoot it--click on it to see a larger image....I wonder why there is a fireplug on the beach?
Is it in case the sand catches on fire?
this is an Anaglyph I tried to make from 2 separate angles--I do get the "Gull Friend" out in front with Vancouver in the Background.

I was going to do one O' my animated movies for ya...but I didn't like the end result..so this time it was just snaps with my 30 cent camera.

You say KOMODO I say KIMONO

2009-03-28T17:16:00.000-07:00

Komodo Dragon

Two Komodo Dragons were accused of killing a man recently...it was not drug or gang related...the Dragons were waiting for the fellow to fall off the tree he was picking fruit on...it might have been justified..

who knows if it wasn't their fruit..
their tree??

And with a name like Komodo..don't you think the defense lawyer will be quick to point out the Dragons being bullied in school with things like....

"Hey Dragons--go back to your Commode"

Meanwhile...a Kimono Dragon might be an iffy partner in a dollar a dance club...it might be hard to slip away without being ...dare I say...."frenched"
Kimono Dragon

Me such BAD man !

2009-03-22T17:56:00.000-07:00

This is a rant about the GYM today....Psychiatric help anyone ??

When I started this BLOG it was going to be just an occasional humorous bit of artwork or animation...and my "Bench Bozo" was going to be JUST my Bench Press training--and never the twain shall meet....well, today some merging has taken place and gym stuff (irrational mumbling) has become today's Thorndike Pickledish talking bloggeroo---relapse and enjoy... 2 minutes of me ruminating over the rant that IS the masked gym whistler....

Anatomy of a Brain Amateurism !

2009-03-10T14:14:00.000-07:00

I did this in the free Program "Project Dogwaffle" used the mouse to draw it.

Then I took the ONE panel and stretched it in the old "MOHO" program --MOHO is now improved and called "Anime Underwear" or some name with the word "Anime" in it....
I made 58 frames--repeated them-to 232 at 8 frames a second--I ad libbed a voice track to it and here is 29 seconds of silly thinking out loud..

It's a fun way to blog --when you don't type out your thoughts for the day..but instead do a 'talking letter' to expose the workings of your 35 cent computer and it's inner drawing board....

I like this one today--but tomorrow --or maybe later tonite --I'll probably be embarrassed and want to send it to the messy art grave yard.

Lost Isle - FOUND?

2009-03-02T18:54:00.000-08:00

click to see all the touch ups---I mean Larger size image..

"Smith VS Corona...the yellow beer chronicles"

So You take a jewel case and a red and green marker and?......

2009-03-01T16:28:00.000-08:00

Yeah --I just saw a deal thingus where "Hannah Montana kids" were told IF they didn't have stereoscopic 3D glasses they could take a CD case--take out the label--and on the clear section with a marker...draw a red patch --then a 'nose' away--draw a blue(cyan or green) patch...that way, they could watch the 3D segment Disney had prepped for them....so, raid your kid's room and get that case...and watch another 3D experiment by me....yeah, I know...too many--but mine are getting 'depthier'-- YAY --
and I usually try to 'let'
a "funny"
during them too..

what's different here? the background is new--there is a new sequence with 'pink lightning' (ahem) and a quick flash of an old Little Richard painting I made that I 'anaglyphed' and there is always the "I wish I could be here...but I'm busy.." Narration....so click me baby one more time..

Can't I just see 3D without Glasses?? YES
my friend at -- Burbank's Tomato---has used a technique by Jim Gasperini---and has created a 3D still with NO GLASSES ---Eugene calls the technique the "Gasperini Wiggle" and explains it well at his site ! take a look...especially the 2nd and 3rd images...in the first...I think the statue's 'Gasperini is wiggling' too much (kidding)
in 1- 2- or 3 D !
