Aliens Use Firefox – Crop Circle Evidence

M.H.M — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 02:13:54 +0000

A crop circle in the shape of the Firefox logo has appeared in a wheat field near Amity, Oregon. The 220 foot phenomenon, discovered on August 12, 2006 is clearly a representation of the open source Internet browser. Scientific explanations for the shamelessly promotional piece of cerealogy have been dismissed in favor of evidence of extraterrestrial contact attempts. Though communication means have traditionally been limited, our out-of-Earth neighbours’ message is a clear: aliens prefer Firefox.

But the truth is, somebody from the insider said this, “How we made the Firefox crop circle. Executing this project was one of the best summers of my life. Mozilla Firefox hired me as a marketing intern and I came with the idea of doing a crop circle — we ran into a lot of doubters but made it happen in the end. Mozilla is a great company!” End of the story. Crop circle is an art, not from extraterrestrial life being. This is how they made the Firefox crop circle:

Curtis Killorn, an artist from California, creates amazing works of art by painting dead trees, essentially bringing them back to life in all the colors of the rainbow. The rainbow tree looks very lively and hopefully he can make the miracle by painting other dead trees around the area. Or maybe he can create a garden of rainbow trees. Can’t wait for that to happen. Enjoy the art!

Great Ways to Express Your Design Creativity

M.H.M — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 06:49:14 +0000

Are you looking for something creative, like funny tshirts, that can help you speak your mind? Creativity and communication goes hand to hand because every artists and every person has something to say about and it is always a good thing if we can say that in less possible words. Communication through art is the best way in which you can speak your mind and there is no doubt that painters, writers and artists all over the world have made art their ultimate weapon when it comes to speaking about their rights and revolution. If you are desperate about something creative then you need to look around as there are many small things that can help you say your attitude.

It does sound stupid at first, but clothes can surely become our mobile advertisement slogans because we wear them and move around. Hence, we become human banners that are speaking about the way we feel and what kind of attitude we prefer. T-shirts have now become the mobile banner for all the youngsters as they prefer to wear funny tshirts that have some kind of preaching statements, one liners and funny pictures on it. These tshirts are not only popular in the West, but many Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are soon following the trend.

Another way to speak up your mind when you are at home or in your school is to use film posters. Of course, there are thousands of movie posters available all over the internet and even in stores, but there may be some posters that appeal to you because there is something in it that attracts you. It can be that you love action heroes and therefore you have a film poster of Bruce Willis or Jet Li with some action sequence in the background or some other posters where the heroes are flexing their muscles.

If you are crazy about movies then you can also get inspired by certain genres of movies. There are many creative people who look at movies with different perspective and therefore they are able to know more about their movies than any other local movie freak. There are many internet websites like IMDB where you can find some of the latest information about the movies that are about to release and also about the movies that have made it to the box office. You can even read about how the audience felt about a certain type of movie on such websites.

The History of Printing Presses

M.H.M — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 01:29:10 +0000

For anyone trying to trace the roots of printing, Caxon and Guttenberg would be a good Beginning point, although further investigation will lead them to China, thousands of years previous. Much of the styling found on many later printing machines, traced its roots back to some of the Victorian presses which had an extremely heavy and gothic influence. It ended up that presses weren’t being designed by artists, the were instead designed by engineers for the artists.

Artist were, for quite a while restricted and only able to print their work at print houses. Machines were revered without being used to their full potential. The equipment was the main thing not what was being printed.

That’s where we were until Dave Gunning came along and designed a brilliant fabricated machine which is totally ‘hands on’ during the late eighties. The immediate results were fantastic and the machine design has been honed and perfected during the last 20 years. Dave strongly believes that people from all avenues of life should have the resources to embrace the art of printmaking. Dave has steel bashing in his roots, he was born into a long distinct pedigree steelworkers in Biston 55 years ago. His own art is featured in many private and public collections including National Museum of Wales, The Palace of Westminster and also the Royal Collection.

Unlike any other printing machines on the market, every press is hand made in Ironbridge, Shropshire. They print etchings, collographs, lino, bromoil and woodcuts. The quality of the prints produced is so high, every one of his printing presses come with a lifetime gaurentee. Dave Gunnings Gunningarts printing presses are located in schools, colleges and artists studios. In fact he has produced over 1000 of these premium printing machines. One even takes a pride of place within the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, an accolade any artist or designer would be proud of.

‘I saw a press in a museum in Paris that was Picasso’s, I never dreamed I would have a press I hade made in a museum as an exhibit!’ Dave Gunning 2009.
