NEW! TO SAVE HER  Strip: 279

NEW ! Wednesdays of Wonder

Woden's Day, July 23rd, 2008

Ok, you're thinking, what the farg is this? 
A reasonable question, considering.

 
For a looong time now, I have been following the upcoming Playstation 3 game, LittleBigPlanet by Media Molecule. I've also always had a thing for certain aesthetics, among them 8-bit, which I started my messed-up games career doing graphics in, and playful, cardboard, childlike imagery. LittleBigPlanet's entire aesthetic is the latter, since the game stars little stuffed, cloth and stitches 'Sackboys' (and girls) who also happen to have Creator powers to make worlds, running in four-player mayhem through a literally endless number of photo-realistic, film-like platform landscapes that the player can not only play, but build and modify by themselves at will. Needless to say, wow.

I made a shadowbox to hang on my wall that follows the LittleBigPlanet aesthetic, and though it suffers a bit from my scanner, I thought I would share it for this Wednesday Of Wonder. On my wall, it is so arranged that the lighting shines into the box and illuminates it from within, making it an impressive portal into another world, but you can at least get the idea of the basic design of it from me slapping it on my scanner. I've put a little toy robot man in the doorway inside of it on my wall, the lighting is especially dramatic from inside the box on the little toy. I wish I was better at using Stephen's camera.

Still, that is what this is all about, and if you haven't played with cardboard box material in a while, you might consider it, it has a wonderful look to it, and it is fun to make stuff with.

Oh, and you might want to check out everything you can online about LittleBigPlanet, as it is the most utterly compelling reason -in my opinion- to consider bothering with a Playstation 3; it is absolutely the most amazing sort of game - a true system seller, innovative in every way, and I actually believe more interesting, important, and purely fun than Spore, and that is a hell of a thing to say, if you think about it.

LittleBigPlanet comes out this October, at last report.

This new edition contains the entire Unicorn Jelly saga, plus all supplementary materials, plus additional materials in one very thick, single, high-quality, super-slick volume. The Unicorn Jelly Book is currently being published through Lulu.com The paperback version can be ordered either online, through them, or by special order through your local chain bookstore, such as Barnes and Noble, or Waldenbooks, or other fine outlet. The Unicorn Jelly Book softcover is priced at 33.95 dollars American

There is a Hardcover version as well now!

The Hardcover version is 31.95, slightly cheaper than the softcover, and it is utterly fine, BUT it has two caveats: one, it can ONLY be ordered online from Lulu directly HERE, and it will likely take just over a month to be delivered to you. If you don't mind an online only purchase, nor a long wait, the Hardcover is the way to go. It is lovely.
