Hi, I'm Mar.
I'm an artist, interface designer
and probably some other stuff too.

The Drunken Moogle

July 12th, 2010

My husband and I came up with a silly shots challenge, based on Mario Kart’s “Rainbow Road” a while back.
I ran across thedrunkenmoogle.com and had to submit it.

Check out the post here.
The site is dedicated to Video Games + Booze! How could you go wrong?

Goomba: Kahlua & cream
Koopa: Mojito - light rum, mint, and simple syrup, with a mint sugar rim
Boo: Vanilla infused vodka & non-dairy creamer
Thwamp: Blueberry vodka jello shot, with blue sugar rim
Dry Bones: Dirty Gin Martini
Bowser: Thai bird chili & cinnamon candy infused bacardi 151, with cinnamon sugar rim (Light the shot on fire, but
BE CAREFUL! Lighting the shot on fire is optional; The Drunken Moogle isn’t responsible if you burn your face off.)

13 Lumens

November 30th, 2009

I’ll have a few pieces up at the 13 Lumens show. Come by and check it out!

13 LUMENS is a Prayer Candle Art Show. That means all art displayed will be on Prayer Candles. We have over sixty (60) different pieces of art from more then twenty (20) different artists available on Prayer candles. 13 LUMENS is a candle art show originated from last year’s Wax Burner II show.  All art entered into this show will be reproduced on glass religious candles. The name 13 Lumens comes from the fact that A candle typically produces about 13 lumens of visible light.

Seminal Emissions

Seminal Emissions

“Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering
the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution
in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals
as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal
emission was as strong as that of stallions”

~Ezekial 23:19-20

Halloween!

November 1st, 2009

I won second place at the shelter tonight for my “Jesus rides a dino” costume

I devolved an ostrich costume to make the dinosaur, which is fairly ironic considering the point of the costume was to make fun of creationists. >:-)

Color Experiments

October 29th, 2009

I’ve been using photoshop for over 10 years now (5 professionally), and I STILL find features I haven’t tried.
I thought I’d play around with some adjustments I hadn’t used much before.

These are taken with my Canon 50D and manipulated mainly with levels, shadows/highlights, and selective color.

Long Exposure Experiments

October 26th, 2009

Had fun running around town with Jody takin’ pictures. There’s so many damn settings on my camera, I’m not sure where to start…

Dainty Cake!

October 26th, 2009

Oops. Hi again. Been slackin’ on the blog front, but I’m back now I promise!

Looks like I got mentioned in the LA Weekly food blog for my Dungeons & Dragons engagement cake. :-P
On that note, the other night I made a cake for my husband’s mom. I think it turned out pretty cute, in a “gag me with pastels and roses” kind of way.

Defcon Art Submissions

June 22nd, 2009

Thought I’d take a stab at the Defcon art contest this year.

The first design is a Watchmen parody, and the second is an homage to a long running gag.

***UPDATE***
Won the people’s choice award with the Watchmen parody and it got made into shirts! It was too much fun to see all the people in them at con.
