Hey! There's another stupid pixel art on TUMBLR. I can't remember who told me about it..... oh wait, yes I can... Bruce "The Batman" Wayne. Maybe you've heard of him.
Ok, it's kind of hard to tell in that picture, but his lips are saying "Go to TUMBLRRRR and look at sexy pixel art."
Yeah Batman. Now I know why you're the world's greatest detective.
BONUS: Haha, I tricked you! You were all, "The title of this post was very misleading, as it is less about white stripes of any kind, and more about Batman and terrible pixel art." Hey, guess what over-the-shoulder reading mom? Sometimes people like a little suspense. Maybe you need to learn a little patience.
We all know it's always been your secret dream to be cool. Well, too bad. Nothing you'll find here will make you cool, but it'll make you think that we think you're cool. This is the best, because you're happy, but we can still look down on you. Everyone wins.
Band of Skulls are easily one of the sexiest bands available to your ears right now. They are a three piece rock outfit from Southampton, England. They will rock your socks off, fill your socks with rocks, and then pummel your earholes with rock socks. Metaphorically. Be sure to check them out NOW.
I have a new role model, and his name is Charlie Sheen. Anyone who can compare themselves to an F-18 or claim to have tiger blood is ok in my book, and, frankly, should be working with me. The policy of this blog has always been, "If you can't stand the heat, then you better get out of the friggin' rays of the resplendent sphere that is my sexiness", and I think you'll agree with me when I say you're dumb if you think otherwise.
Sooooo here's the last wallpaper in the WALLPAPER TRIFECTA series featuring the Postal Service. The final wallpaper: The District Sleeps Alone Tonight. Cue video.
Wow. What a boner-jam. Let's get down to it. I wanted to capture that noice 80s feel from the video, so I did a lot of Googling of 80s fashions. I started by sketching my main girl and then did about seven backup dancers. Have a peek at those sketches:
After all the people were done, I made some buildings and the disco ball in Illustrator, and everything went into Photoshoppe. A custom scatter brush for the lights and some sexy font, and you got yourself a stew goin'. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out:

DOUBLETIME! This design is also on the fast track to becoming a tee shirt on Threadless. That is, it will be after you go vote for it nine times. Don't you want to wear this on your chest? Get out there and make something happen.
I was totally going to post this second wallpaper in the WALLPAPER TRIFECTA series like... five days ago, but last Wednesday I accidentally put "Whip My Hair" on repeat on my iTunes, and I've been whipping my hair back and forth the whole time. I didn't even shower, and I think I have some kind of neck condition now, so you really should be feeling sorry for me instead of judging me.
As promised, here is the second wallpaper in the series.
I wanted to capture the 60s feel of the video, and also the post-apocalyptic theme of the song. I also liked the bikes. That part makes me all tingly. So, I finally decided to draw a monster family riding bikes through the desert. Most of this one was done in Illustrator, so I did some fairly rough sketches and just scanned them in. Here are the originals:
After I scanned the sketches, I cleaned them up and changed the faces (some a little, some a lot) and adjusted the perspective on each one. After the characters were done, everything went to Photoshop so I could make it look all nubbly.
Enjoy, the final wallpaper will be posted sometime in the next week.
Gotta keep you on your toes.

Oh my gee. This is the beginning of a THRICE DAY series called WALLPAPER TRIFECTA. This is where I'll be doing a series of three wallpapers based on something I like.
So expect one soon featuring your mom.
HA! I kid. Your mom sucks.
This WALLPAPER TRIFECTA is based on the music videos of The Postal Service. Day one.... Such Great Heights!
Yeah, so The Postal Service is so phresh, and their videos, also, are. Each of the videos has a very distinct feel to it, and I love that. The Such Great Heights video has that swass 1984 space pajama thing going on, and I wanted to capture that in my design. Also, the obvious attraction between the two main characters in the video got me thinking about a machine that falls in love with a human... unrequited love and allat, yo. So, I started by sketching my two main characters and then tracing my pencil with my weapon of choice, the Micron 005 Black marker/pen/whatever. Here are the final sketches:
The boy took about 1 hour. The machine was a solid four days worth of work. After I sketched everything out, I sexily scanned them into my computer and did a little Live Paint action in Illustrator CS5. The coloring was done with the Live Paint bucket, and took about another afternoon. After that, everything was dumped into Photoshop and I did the background and the text. The fonts in this particular design are EjectJap and Kenyan Coffee. Both are, I believe, available on dafont.com.
And here is the finished product. Download and enjoy.
The ferocity! The tenacity! The audacity! Prepare to feel the white-hot heat of boss-ness, in conjunction with the velvety-softness of knowledge enter your eye holes!
