No one wants to be friends with Yellow. 800×600 | 1024×768 | 1280×1024 | 1600×1200
Carmen Miranda’s Star Trek I was raised by nerds.

Fingerprints Simple Illustrator graphics, nice and clean. 800×600 | 1024×768 | 1280×1024	Divoon! …And so then I thought, you know what would make this image even more ridiculous? Boxes of pancake mix everywhere! 800×600 | 1024×768 | 1280×1024	Caribbean Rhino Those Colonial buildings took a long time to draw, that’s for true. Made with five colors. 800×600 | 1024×768 | 1280×1024 | 1600×1200

In the daytime, this display looks a whole lot less eerie, but where’s the fun in that? 800×600 | 1024×768	Love Conquers All "Omnia Vincit Amor" is Latin for "Love Conquers All."

Heart A photograph of a paper heart against some glass. I took this photo, developed it, and printed it in a darkroom. This is about as old school as photography can get. 1024×768 | 1280×1024	Jack of Diamonds I photographed this with an SLR camera. I processed the negatives in a darkroom. I printed it and enlarged it under the red light, made a bunch of tools to burn it, then printed about 40 versions before I scanned it in for your viewing pleasure. 1024×768 | 1280×1024	The Cashier All the 1920s art deco women always look like they’re brooding. I figure they must have some reason for looking so wicked serious all the time, like maybe they’re stuck in a crappy minimum wage job. 1024×768 | 1280×1024
