Too much time on my hands

This is what happens when you mix silly putty (a birthday gift from kitsune_iii), Photobooth, and GIMP.

The blob! It moves!

It took twenty four hours to get from the first purple bit to the second (and then about 5 minutes to get back up again :))

As you can see, I hadn't really thought through what I was doing till I started. My advice to anyone else doing something like this (why you would I don't know, there's MUCH better ways to do stop motion photography) is to cover the screen with an open A4 book, stops the flash ruining the image. And think through what you're going to end up with before you start :) Here's the instructions for using GIMP to do animation.

Clearly I am in tune with the zeitgeist

So you know how I spent ages angsting about making a fan comics community, because none existed? And then made one?

Well it turns out there's been another one around since June :)

Mine: fan_comics
Theirs: fancomiccentral

They have quite restrictive posting guidelines though so I don't think I would have been happy if that was the only place to post. They also have a nice backlog of strips to read :)

In the process of thinking about what I might post there I was reminded of the very talented astridv (check out her profile for links to her stuff) and from there came across this cute vid of SGA credits in the style of House.
