39 of 365 is a life, swallowed #Inkscape

 

A life, swallowed.
A life, swallowed.

I recently decided to jump-start submissions for requests on 365 by asking for random captions and titles for pieces. This isn’t my idea. The best example of this I can think of is explodingdog who has done this for about 10 years. If you’ve never seen his quirky, sometimes jolting illustrations for caption submissions, please google him. This sketch is in response to Kelly Lake’s poetic, very interesting submission “I swallowed my life, and it has consumed me.” Thanks Kelly! You’re the best, and I haven’t told you in a while.

This is a lilting, ending refrain from one of my favorite songs. Karma Police, from Radiohead’s revolutionary album, OK Computer. The lyric lays over an original shot of Seattle, which is an amazing and beautiful city in the shadow of a mountain.

37 of 365 is a common phrase #GIMP

 

Well, duh!
Well, duh!

 

I have a friend who has started saying this to me after every other sentence just because it makes me laugh to hear it. I thought it might be nice for my friend to see how I visualize it when they say it.

35 of 365 is an improved photo #GIMP

So I had a snapshot that I thought captured my smile nicely, but had some other issues worth fixing. I opened the original in the GIMP, Removed some wayward beard with the smudge tool, tightened focus with the sharpen tool in a few places, removed background noise with the blur tool, brightened and added depth to the photo using the brightness/contrast feature, made the image grayscale using desaturate, and added a color overtone with the colorize feature. I think more than anything, I just wanted to make up for yesterday’s monster.

34 of 365 is a… what the hell is that? #GIMP

 

Mixed facial orifice self portrait

Yes, when you use the clone tool to put your eye where your mouth was, and your mouth where your eyes were, you would call it a mixed facial orifice self-portrait. Wouldn’t you? This is a reminder that I am always looking for suggestions of photos and ideas in need of execution. When I don’t have them, I do freaky stuff like this. Apologies!
