Have you guys ever seen those cheap dollar store knockoff toys? Let’s see some funny knockoff shirts - be careful with your IP in this one, no mentioning the actual IP and there should be no doubt of the design being “parody”.

Here’s one I did last year, with a Kenner-esque “Knock-off” brand label…

One of my favorite things to do is to run a phrase or song lyrics through google translate multiple times, copying the translation and pasting it into the translate section, then selecting another language. Over and over, until I feel it’s good enough, then translating the last thing back into English.

Tried it just now (English, to Serbian, to Indonesian, to Punjabi, to who knows what else, then back to English), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became: “Teenage Mutable Ninja Loom”

Enjoy this.

Today I learned that I can create a realistic potato from scratch in Sketchbook.
