I made it in Photoshop --- a few samples out of Van Gogh's Starry Night to start with, plus a few more blobs and spots, all shrunk down tiny and spread out over a 514x514 area. The background is transparent so the file size stays small (only 2k) even though it covers a large area. So then all I have to do is use the background with a dark blue color. Like :
The colors in the header are sampled out of Starry Night too, although it didn't really come out the way I wanted it. Yet. I can just keep fooling with it....
Greetings Sister! I am Brother Neutron Bomb of Mild Reason. For the uninitiated, we'll soon be invading their pot-luck dinners. I for one believe there may be many gods, and their weekly poker game is getting really exciting! Viva la Unitarian Jihad!
Yesterday morning I picked up the newspaper outside my door and saw this: Woah, hold onto your brains! Zombie Crisis in the Vatican! Anyway, after I took it out of the wrapper, the full picture emerged. Don't things like this make you wonder if the people doing front-page layout are awake, asleep, or trying to make us spit our coffee all over the paper?
If you've never heard of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, turn to page 38. Otherwise, click over to Uncyclopedia and play The Game . And waste some more time while you're there, too, fooling around with Zork . Not the original Zork, mind you, but a twisted, bent, Uncyclopedized Zork. Add your own screen if you like. Just watch out for the grue.
