Small Robot Dreams of Home (T-Shirt)

So, I recently discovered the joys of layers in the free graphics program GIMP. What's more, I finally managed to get my Wacom drawing pad peripheral working properly (I received it as a gift about four years ago but until recently didn't know how to configure it properly -- not to mention the fact that the hardware drivers have improved a lot over the past few years).

But what does this have to do with Existence is Wonderful, you might ask? Not a whole lot, honestly, except for the fact that after starting on an "experimental" drawing, I thought to myself, "Hey, I'd like that on a t-shirt".



If you would like this image on a t-shirt, you can get it here in my little (highly robot-oriented) Cafepress shop. There are several designs on several different shirt styles -- not all the styles have this particular image on them, but if you want a certain image on a particular style, let me know and I can set that up for you. (And no, I don't make any money off this -- I've left the prices at the same levels you'd pay for blank shirts, so this is most certainly not an attempt on my part to garner profit.)



I'm not assuming everyone will be clamoring to wear my highly unprofessional artwork or anything, but I figured that I'd let people know the means exists to acquire it just in case anyone is interested.

Also: as usual, I am working on several "real" posts for this blog, so hopefully I can get some of those up within the next week or so. On the agenda: some recent thoughts on longevity research and advocacy, some stuff about brains, and a writeup explaining and analyzing the perception poll I recently posted (and which I really, really enjoyed reading people's responses to...it is always fascinating to get a sampling of how different people think about and perceive things).
