so, I'm apparently the God of Discordian Graphic Design

[metaphorge]

It's flattering when someone likes your graphical design work, but it's doubly flattering when they use your design elements from more than one separate location without knowing that they share a creator.

This Discordian MySpace user has both some of the design elements I created for Discordian.com and this photograph of my crotch:



which was art directed by me and taken by xanadumalion. The highly amusing thing about this is that she apparently located the photograph at a German website, mythropolis.de, which had blogged about the Discordian Pool @ FlickR, which I founded and moderate.

Guess it's time to print up posters, huh?

(Just a note: I'm not one of thoise creators that gets bent out of shape when someone uses my work elsewhere, especially if they're not making a profit off of it. I find it flattering that someone enjoys my art and finds it representative... infornography in action.)

Sounds like a worthwhile project, indeed.

I envision giant billboards, 50-foot photos of your crotch...

Posters? Um, hellz yeah.....! Imitation - or in this case, borrowing - is the sincerest form of flattery. It's a gorgeous photograph too. Infornography - that's a new one on me! I like it....

That would make an awesome poster.

Oddly enough, the lease to my new place includes some fine print about checking all posters in with management before putting them up, even if nobody else will ever see it.
