(Re) building an empire

For anyone who read yesterdays blog, was here for a while then deleted.. Apologies, yesterday was the shittiest day of the year so far and I know there are a lot more like that to come.. I was frustrated and wrote what I did and posted it and I shouldn't have.. There are other blogs for that shit, I just popped open the one I was messing with at the time.. Ok,, enough, new day..

BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST: Well trying to build the blog to look remotely like I want it to.. Here and an PNOP blogs.. Here I shut it down Monday and tried a few ideas so.. Here is where it all started..

This was the starting point, believe it or not.. A GIF file but I really wanted this to be the site.. The motion, in full screen, makes you feel like you are falling forward.. GIF files are the greatest aren't they???

After getting a still shot of the GIF this is what you get.. Seriously i always wonder how that happens.. This is from using the Kaleidoscope setting and not having very many pieces because that would likely have made a mess.. Then what??  Well I couldn't see it.. Where to go from here??  I worked on dozens of other ideas while this was the logical choice.. I mean there it was just staring at me..

The peep hole from the triangle motel is such a go to idea.. Taken some time back it seems every trip to Silverton warranted a shot like this.. Taken right from the door of room number...

I will use the "glowing edges" effect from Adobe Photoshop on anything and everything.. including the picture above that I kaleidoscope then glowing edges to produce that above.. And this one here..

The original fire plug that was here for forever, Gotta have it.. Legacy and all that.. The original picture has been long lost, possibly from when I effected it and didn't know to keep the original picture just rename the finished product with the slightest of  things..  in my case it was a lower case "i"..

 Putting the peep hole thing on top and the fire plug below and this is what we have now here.. And here is another idea..:

This really didn't work so.. The other is it and will be for a while.. Now for the other blog.. PNOP, this was and still is a work in progress and is in fact being done live, rather than shutting it down... There's a reason for that.. Don't rub it in..

Not a GIF file but rather a heavy pixel picture.. Lotsa pixels and was hard to look even remotely good when I resized it.. Too many tiles..

This one was the next idea, boxes in motion.. I really wanted it but.. Didn't work either.. Too big..

So after about ten more ideas this was settled as the base prism picture.. Other prisms worked but this has a presentation like area there in the middle there.. and will likely be changed regularly.. With what is there right now

Has this glowing edges effected broncos helmet in there.. There were any number of other things in there and will be that way in the coming months.. 

  And then there were other ideas ...

An action shot.. Not used yet..

Typing in prism in the search box yielded this gem, and it was on the site for a short time..

 This little guy I'm not sure where he came from.. The glowing edges has made his eyes off a bit.. originally a cartoon of a golfer..

 Glowing edges did this to a football player running the football..

 This bronco above was almost put in the prism for the page then.. Wasn't..

 This prism was left alone and unefected and just put on the site over night..

 The little golfer in the prism... Has sort of  a Marty Feldman look to his eyes, looking at his ball and the cute chick at the next tee..
