The Evil Onion, revisited

1 Reply

Evil OnionSo I’ve been struggling with what to do with the onion – where do we find the onion, 12 years down the line? Is he still in the suburbs (the most foul and evil place on earth)? Has he turned a new leaf?  Given up on his evil ways? Did he turn that leaf back over and go back to being evil? Is there a Mrs. Onion?  Does he work in IT?  Twelve years later, have his hopes and aspirations been fulfilled?

Fade in, our onion, now an elder statesman in his oniony community, his comfortable life ensured by his misdeeds throughout the years. No.  That won’t work.  Maybe he’s like other cartoon characters, never aging?

Fade in, the onion sits at a desk. There are posters on the wall behind him, calling for donations, onions smile down from these posters.  He’s working for some kind of charity… but what kind?

More later. I think I have the beginnings of a new cartoon finally…

Little phone apps

benchSkullSo I got “talked” into getting back into Instagram again… Mostly it was being shown Tiny Planets and Mirrorgram as two little supplements to play with before uploading anything to Instagram.

Both Tiny Planets and Mirrorgram are basically a couple of steps in Photoshop except all done on the phone, and with an odd little instant gratification – no sitting in a room by myself tweaking pics, I can show ‘em off to whoever’s around!

southwestWingAt any rate, I discovered that sometimes, even the simplest little tools – that most designers pro’lly scoff at – can produce some really cool effects – I’m particularly proud of the “skull,” above, that started out as quick snap of the snow covering the courtyard bench outside my building. A little twirling, and mirroring, and suddenly it was smiling right at me!
