Ledbetter: Character King

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

The image “http://www.joeledbetter.com/images/orbital_blowout_03.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.- For things cute and chaotic, the person who knows best would be Joe Ledbetter. For the past few years, Ledbetter has does rather well to rise through the trenches of obscurity, and become well noticeable, and well versed. Most of his work is acrylic paintings on wood, yet he has also explored in the vinyl market. His secret has been simple… he creates very interesting, very cute characters over and over; in various, sometimes harsh, scenarios of life. All of his creations constantly remind of that we shouldn’t take life so seriously.

CS3: Now With More Fun!!

Photoshop CS3 logo- Well, if you have been living under a rock, then you haven’t noticed that Adobe has launched a public beta version of Photoshop CS3. After looking over some of the new feature and adjustments, I don’t think it will be bad… although, I think it will take time to adjust to a new setting, and most will probably agree with me here. I will say that the new adjustments to the Black and White Filter will definitely help, as well as the additions with Quick Selection. The only other thing I can say about the next installment is experience it yourself…

A REAL History Book…

Monday, December 18th, 2006

- Think of the Full Vinyl Book as a one-and-only place to trace down who makes what and where in vinyl. With over 400 figures from the world’s leading figure creators, this book covers from mass produced popular favorites, to the sub-culture figures, all across the globe. I’d start naming names, but there are just too many to look back on… I will thank SKET ONE for sending this info to me… Read up!!

- Most of you have had the chance to check out Diesel Sweeties at least one time in your life. If not, fear not, cause is going into syndication soon… Yeah!! Anyway, a month or so ago, DS creator Rich Stevens has cleverly conjured another shirt idea, one that I think will do great… Think subliminal advertising, with either a rabbit or turtle!! Let your lips do the rest…

- The OCTONAUTS are a crew of adorable critters, who roam the the ocean blue in search of adventure and fun! And now, you could read along in their fun. In their debut episode, the Octonauts encounter a lonely sea monster, looking for his own kind. Just seeing some of the imagery, I am digging the cute look and feel, and the simple message laid out… This makes for good entertainment! Get it before its gone…

Lean, Mean, Chocolate Machine

- LG is looking to introduce a few low-capacity MP3 players into the market. Picture it as a iShuffle, mixed with a Chocolate. If anything consumers might pull towards this based on the look and feel, including a retractable USB. Now, I haven’t heard the greatest things about the Chocolate phone out there… but if this guy takes off, Apple may actually have some competition over the next year or so.
