Chickens taking over the lavatory

August 13th, 2007 Posted in creativity, life

A while ago i set up my own cartoonsite, cartoons.liessa.net. The initial basis for this initiative was taking my WordPress plugin USCD for a test ride. Because of my plugin i’ve added every cartoon with a picture-rssfeed available, since there’s really no downside in having some cartoons that you don’t like. A cool byproduct of this is that i’ve discovered quite some good cartoons that i’d have never found out about otherwise :D

Last friday mactijn and i conceived the idea to print one of those cartoons, “Savage Chickens” which consists of one post-it per episode, back onto post-its. The result is rather cool if i may say so, and i’ve stuck quite a few of them to the the tiles in my house’s toilet, to provide some fun reading material for those who don’t spend whole book-chapters worth of time in the smallest room :)

PS: the method used was:

  1. crop until your picture is only the post-it bit of the comic
  2. remove yellow and increase contrast
  3. scale the images to post-it size (3 inch square in our case)
  4. print a page filled with these images
  5. stick post-its carefully over the printed images
  6. re-print on the post-it covered sheet
  7. enjoy!
  8. Update: pics available \o/

    Chicken post-its!

    Hmm… didn’t know that cartoon yet, but I spent a large part of this evening reading them, very nice.

    Can you post a photo of your wall ;)
