Photoshop Fun

I found this as I was cleaning out some old files on my machine. The original picture in the corner is actually a screen capture for a video I took at St. Anthony's. I did this about 7 years ago I think so the photoshop I used was either 6 or 7 I believe lol. This is about as graphically creative as I get =p

*Award Winning Hangover Dip Recipe

Here's the recipe on how to make Sausage Dip which was voted by One To One as the best dip to eat with a hangover. Finally, my parents can be proud.


You need:

-One tube (that sounds gross) of Jimmy Dean Sausage. The one that looks like this:

(I prefer 'hot' but the regular one works too.

-One Package of Cream Cheese

-One small jar of Salsa.


Directions:

Cook the sausage till it gets brown (mash it up into little crumbles as you go)
Then add the cream cheese. Mix it all up till the whole thing is creamy.
Add the jar of salsa. Mix this up again. 
Add Onion Powder and Pepper to taste.


It'll look a little bit awful, but it's good.


*sure I technically came in second but I'm still keeping the award.

A Video I Made

For years I have played with video getting my first video camera in 1985. Someday I need to get all those clips off of 10mm tape and put it digital before it is to late. Over the last few years, I have made a few videos mostly using Imovie. I am somewhat limited in what editing I can do with it but hope to someday get Final Cut, for now it's fun. Most of my work is set to music and often includes me and my friends riding motorcycles or some other activity. Hope you enjoy and I look forward to any comments.

Another Paintin'


I found a photograph of this guy in a random Google image search. If you read about him (his name is Lewis Payne) he was not a very nice man. However! He has some seriously awesome hair. So I painted him.

Chain Mail

These are some chain mail pieces I've made. Both use what is called a 4 in 1 pattern, meaning each ring is attached to exactly 4 other rings (except for seams and edges). Each ring is handled individually, and closed using pliers in each hand.

The Griffin

Made out of 16 gauge galvanized steel. The griffin pattern is made of copper rings. Each ring is 5/16th inch in diameter. Weighs about 14 pounds. It has roughly 13,000 individual rings.

Blood Dragon Chain
For those of you who are familiar with the BioWare game "Dragon Age", I copied this pattern from a special piece of armor that you got in-game when you purchased the special edition. Theirs only came in Plate Mail (my wife wont let me have a forge, for some reason). Here's what it looks like in the game. I also have a few pictures of this piece during its construction, as well as the pattern I created for it - on Facebook.

This shirt is much bigger and shinier than The Griffin. It is made of 16 gauge aluminium rings, the red is anodized aluminum. All 5/16 diameter. It weighs roughly 7.5 pounds, and has over 20,000 rings.
