I did this illustration the other day and figured I'd give it a shot as a t-shirt design over at Design By Humans. Check it out and if you like it, please vote for it. If you don't like it, vote for it anyways (I've got student loans to pay!). Here is the direct link: http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/25972

Udon is putting out a Street Fighter book. There's an open call for Street Fighter based entries. Winners get into the book and a free copy of said book.
Interesting? I may have to do a Dhalsim drawing for this.

Gotta go with 'Ducky Fire' as my favorite so far.
FancyZoom is a lightweight javascript that enlarges images inline. there are some examples at the link.
it took me less than a minute to get it up and running on my site.
i've never been crazy about the behavior of opening images on websites. either it takes you away from the page you were on and forces you to hit the back button, or it opens up an additional window which is plain rude.
i was using the lightbox js on my website, but i was never satisfied about the default functionality. it had a cool feature for viewing sequences of images, but i felt the effect was too severe for one at a time viewing. i'm sure it's possible to alter the lightbox script to suit different needs, but that's outside my code monkey abilities.
anyway i like FancyZoom. it's from Cabel Sasser of Panic software. (if you're using a mac and maintaining a website, i highly recommend you give Coda a try. what little coding i am capable of i taught myself using Coda.) FZ is free to use for non commercial websites. if you make money off your site (i sure as hell don't) it's a one time fee of 39 bones. though i'll gladly fork over the money if things get rolling over at inksktink.net. ha.
apparently FancyZoom has issues in IE 6 (because IE 6 is terrible), but for reals... nobody worth knowing uses IE 6 anymore.

Seriously. This is pretty big shit.
Seriously. I'm totally gonna try to do one.

Simply pick a patch, upload a 50x 50 gif and add a hyper link. You can even do an image made up of several squares.
I've gotten a bunch of hits on my blog from this. So I made second one, made up of 2 squares, for my site.
Use it. Or don't. What do I care.
Tom got one of his awesome illustrations printed in Time Out New York. Unfortunately, they don't sell Time Out New York in Battle Ground, Washington, but I can view a dinky digital version here:

And I'm sure he'll blog about it, right?
Great work Tom!
