Beware of the exploding dog
I spend too long sat behind my computer, and I visit a lot of websites. However, you are permitted to reap the fruits of my dubious computing habits thanks to this very weblog.
Every so often, you'll come across a site that you'd like everyone else to see.
About half an hour ago, I happened across an interesting little website called explodingdog. This guy, from the States, invites you to send in short picture captions to him. He takes some of these titles, and draws some pretty cool pictures based on his inspiration resulting from the titles.
Here are a few titles that I picked out.
it is better when we cooperate
shake it don't break it
could i try a bite of that?
not today
i lost the stuff
The pictures are created using Photoshop (some guidance on how this is done is included elsewhere on the site itself) and are distinct in their style. More notable, though, is the way that this guy takes the titles and uses them to guide him in his choice of drawing.
You've got to check it out yourself to see what I mean.
