Promoting your Font skills with The Mistress of Time and Space

I have an idea, and it may be a good one. I am hoping to get ideas for several projects I am working on, and hoping to warm the cold fee that I have concerning font creation, all in one fell swoop. I do not have dollars and cents to offer participants, but I do have sense, of the graphical design type. I am hoping to highlight your own font creations, by using your font in the header for my blog "Cherish the Hellfire", which is a site that I use to showcase my own stream-o-conscious, which gratefully tends to swirl around the subjects of art, digital art, digital art creation and tools, open-source everything, and creating culture on a shoestring. I plan on using the freakishly huge image of myself as the background for the font that will be highlighted this week. I don't have all that many visitors here, and honestly don't post as much as I'd like, but that is all changing due to the fact that I now have a paying(ish) design job that will keep me grinding at the keyboard, wacom tablet, and edge of the chair(insert NSFW mental image here) for many hours a day for several weeks to come, so the posts will be flowing like cream filling around these *parts*. What have you got to lose, besides some self-respect, twitter followers (I say vagina and boobies a lot) and the 10 minutes it will take to submit a font? 
Every single person that submits a font will get a whole (2 paragraph) blog post about them and their work, written by little 'ol me, and the 4 fonts that get chosen by a team of experts (at what they like..Sports racers, get your voting fingers ready) will be used as the header for this blog for one week each, with attributions and links to more of your work finding a home in the sidebar (at the bottom of this page). Free publicity, tweeting your skills to the world, and a permanent home in the heart of The Mistress of Time and Space. 
What's not to love? Don't answer that....just start submitting.

Pie time

Not sure how I missed this simple pie chart maker, but I can tell, I am going to get myself in trouble with it, or die trying.

My 1st pie chart

I was inspired by this post on the Mental floss blog, where these two venn diagrams halted my synapses in their tracks.

Fractals, Flames and Bubbles

I can't seem to get away from the type of designs I end up making when I'm not thinking about it too much. Enjoy the flames and bubbles. I'm sure there will be more to come.

The flames started as a design for my friends kids phone wallpaper, and developed into something much cooler than I thought.

This bubble and skull design was started for my nephews b-day present: a custom skateboard from my Zazzle store.

In order to make it fit on the whole skateboard (I didn;t plan very well) I had to stretch the design to it's limits, but I don't think I t really lost it's appeal. It's still a "bitchin' Camaro".

"Being" change

Didn't know this was a cover. Saw "Kill your Idols" this morning on Sundance Channel. Amazing documentary from 2004 about New York's "No Wave" music movement of the early 809;s. Funny thing< even though I was in Northern Illinois at that time, I was still very much influenced in my personal development by this music. Bands like The Swans, Sonic Youth, Foetus and Lydia Lunch assisted me with my personal creative visions in my paintings and music creation back then and still very much does. It's a strange thing to look back at that time and see it as a "movement", because when your in the middle of any movement, all you see is pure creation, and all creation is is living the change you want to see. "Being" change.

vagina and boobies warning sign 2, originally uploaded by Cherish Hellfire.

I made this for anyone who tends to lose followers on their blogs because of their tendency to use the words "vagina" or "boobies" more than others think is appropriate. As far as I'm concerned, vagina and boobies are *always* appropriate, but then again, I guess I *do* like vagina and boobies in general more than most other girls. >;P

The Fantastic Four Radio Show featuring Bill Murray as The Human Torch

From 1975, The Fantastic Four Radio show is an attempt to rekindle Americas interest in old-time radio style entertainment. The Kirby/Lee stories featured Bill Murray as The Human Torch, before he was ever cast in Saturday Night Live. Bob Maxwell played Reed Richards, Cynthia Adler as Susan Storm, Jim Pappas as Ben Grimm, and Jerry Terheyden as Dr. Doom. These radio shows were narrated by Stan Lee himself. If you are a fan of old-time radio or Marvel comics, then this series is a dream come true.

10 full episodes are here, and will play one after the other in the embedded media player. Since this is being streamed from The Internet Archive, their embeddable flash media player does not have the ability to display the playlist.
