Inspired by this epic XKCD comic.

I thought this was the best reference image ever:

It’s horrid. Absolutely horrid. It’s the only program which seems to consistently crash on my computer, which is saying something! It crashes almost silently sometimes, which is nice since I could be reading something, finish reading, go to do something in Illustrator, only to discover that it has crashed. On one hand “thanks for not making a scene, buddy”, on the other: “I didn’t save, you prick.”

The love-hate relationship with Illustrator can’t be avoided and despite my ambivalence I find myself returning to its warm and tender embrace; *I’m imagining some kind of image involving the curve or spiral tool making a path that wraps around my neck*.

I’m not sure if this is portfolio-worthy, but I’m going to add it as a super-awesome blog-only wallpaper (and deviantArt, since I somehow feel the need to upload there). Behold the tentacle-filled box! It was a concept for an assignment which I have yet to complete (will be up when finished), however I came to realize it would be impractical for the assignment so went for a “flashier” style.
