Station Idents: A Call For Images
June 3rd, 2010 | brainjuice
As regular readers know, I tend to start the day’s broadcasting by posting a "station ident," which is a photo or other image and the words "this is warren ellis dot com."
I have decided that I need to draw on a wider pool of images for a while. Perhaps you’d like to provide me one.
Something arty, something filthy, something strange, something funny: don’t care, so long as it’s original to you. Snapshot or illustration, Photoshop or fansign; don’t care, so long as it has the following words in it somewhere:
"this is warren ellis dot com"
Email it as an attachment to warrenellis@gmail.com, my public dump email address, if you feel like playing. Please include your name and a website if you have one, or plug a work of yours if applicable. Ideally, it’d be 600 px across or less, but I can resize stuff. And I’ll use all the ones I like, eventually.
Would it matter if the words were superimposed vis-a-vis photoshop later, or should we strive to make art that includes it as part of the scenery? Or both? This is neat.
Just flinging the words on top with a graphics program is of course fine.
Aaaaaaand here comes the naked-lady (maybe) fan mail! Possibly awesome, possibly horrible… but then, this IS warren ellis dot com.
[...] can’t use this as a station ident image, for reasons that will become clear when you read the related post, but this is an example of the sort of mail I’m getting [...]
