Here there be dragons... or something.

Won't lie, this is a compilation of various stuff that happens to catch my interest.

Current obsessions are mythology, SW:TOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect... ok BioWare games in general, they all seem to have amazing plots. Also interested in history, cats, The Dresden files, pen/paper RPGs, books, Guild Wars and other shit.

Have a nice day.

Ingredients:

CINNAMON FILLING:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, just melted (not boiling)
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

CREAM CHEESE GLAZE:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

PANCAKES:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

Directions:

Prepare the cinnamon filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop the filling into a quart-sized heavy zip baggie and set it aside (see *Tips below).

Prepare the glaze: In a small pan, heat the butter over low heat until melted. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cream cheese until it is almost smooth. Sift the powdered sugar into the pan, stir and add in vanilla extract. Set the pan aside while you make the pancakes.

Prepare the pancake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the milk, egg and oil, just until the batter is moistened (a few small lumps are fine).

Cook the pancakes: Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-heat and spray with nonstick spray. Use an ice cream scoop (or 1/3 cup measuring cup) to add the batter to the pan. Use the bottom of the scoop or cup to spread the batter into a circle (about 4-inches in diameter). Reduce the heat to medium low. Snip the corner of your baggie of cinnamon filling and squeeze the filling into the open corner. When your pancake begins to form bubbles, add the filling. Starting at the center of the pancake, squeeze the filling on top of the pancake batter in a swirl (just as you see in a regular cinnamon roll). Cook the pancake 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bubbles begin popping on top of the pancake and it’s golden brown on the bottom. Slide a thin, wide non-metal spatula underneath the pancake and gently but quickly flip it over. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the other side is golden as well. When you flip the pancake onto a plate, you will see that the cinnamon filling has created a crater-swirl of cinnamon. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining pancake batter and cinnamon filling. Re-warm the glaze briefly, if needed. Serve pancakes topped with a drizzle of glaze.

paintbucketresources: fox-orian: Here’s a (blank) example of the invoice that I send to clients after I finish freelance projects It’s pretty common that I see a lot of freelance illustrators, designers, and photographers use something that looks like it was pulled from a base template in MS Word — your bank statements are probably nicer to look at. Functional, they may be, but I think invoices, (just like your resume,) are another place to express yourself visually to your clients, and may just be a cherry on top to a lasting impression. I don’t think an invoice has to be over-the-top, and you usually don’t want to include images or textures because if your client prints it out, chances are more than not it will be from a black and white laser printer — so if you use colors in your formatting, they have to still be perfectly readable in grayscale. A background texture that may ordinarily be readable in color can make text illegible in gray. What I think is most important is to visually distinguish your invoices as being important documentation, or very obviously “I AM AN INVOICE.” Something that makes things easy for your client to 1) not lose track of it and 2) more easily find YOUR invoice since it doesn’t look like the mounds of others they may have on the virtual table. (For all I know, these are probably not even real problems — but I like to help out any minor way I can. Remember to include stuff like an invoice ID number, both in the file and in the file name. Something unique, (like a date, like 121107,) that they can toss to you in case any mention of an invoice has to come up, both parties will know exactly which one is being referenced. Whenever possible, save it and send it as a PDF. They’re more universally readable (and HARDER TO EDIT) than any other format. My design for ESTIMATES are the same as this one, except they’re blue, and the bar on the side is solid — not striped. On my estimate is where I list all of my terms and conditions, such as all work performed will have to be paid, additional rates based on certain other tasks, etc, all that. Lastly, be sure to have a “THANK YOU / FOR YOUR BUSINESS” on there somewhere. You want your invoice to seem like something positive by the end of it, not a bill for utilities. I do all of my layout design like this in Adobe InDesign. But you can easily do this same kind of stuff in MS Word, Apple Pages, hell even Google Docs — and that’s free! With all that, there’s little excuse, as an artist, to give your client invoices that look like these. Excuse me while I go drool over this.

Then, this one soldier who just wanted a cool photograph gets murdered by terrorists that are specifically targeting Tony Stark.

This was the moment that made Tony Stark reevaluate his entire life.

This was the moment that made Tony Stark cut the weapons program.

This was the moment that Tony Stark became Iron Man.

This was the moment that never truly left him.

Because it’s after this moment that Tony Stark proceeds to spend the rest of his life making peace-signs in photos, in honor of a young man who was more of a man than Tony could’ve ever dreamt of being; whose death Tony spent months agonizing over and trying to ensure wasn’t in vain.

Can you not what are you doing to my feels why are you always doing this.

nope.
