“And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord. So Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.”
Genesis 12:8-9
If you had the chance to invite anyone to dinner, who would it be?
A couple of weeks ago I posted a painting that I had begun. Last night I decided to get back to work on it. The triptych (pronounced:[trip-tik] NOUN Fine Arts. a set of three panels or compartments side by side, bearing pictures, carvings, or the like.) was my very hip wife’s idea.
Hello everyone. I’m glad you could join us on this fantastic day. I thought today I would show you how to make a nice cheerful sun to live with the clouds we made in the last tutorial.
Sawubona people. Just wanted to remind everyone that there’s only one more week to enter our first ever, super-fun-time contest. A quick rundown of the rules and guidelines are below.
Rules:
- Deadline is April 5th
- You can only use ClickPopMedia vectors and elements you personally create. In most cases, we really have no way to check this; so we’re on the honor system people.
- The composition can be either still or animated.
- Send us stills as png’s or jpg’s.
- Send us animations as either swf’s, or mov’s.
- The composition can be any size and shape. Use common sense with this rule. If you send us a 1px by 1px image, we probably won’t look at it. Likewise, if you send us a 100 ft by 100ft submission, it’s safe to say it won’t be considered.
- Send your submissions to design@clickpopmedia.com with your contact details.
- HAVE FUN.
We will be judging on hipness, coolness, mad skill level, and general breathtakingness.
The Prize:
The winner of this contest will receive a shiny pair of our custom ClickPopMedia dice (pictured in the header). These little beauties come in a beautiful transparent case complete with moocard. The winner can choose either a blue dice/black dice or a pink dice/black dice combination.

“This is the genealogy of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begot Lot. And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans…And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan…and Terah died in Haran.”
Genesis 11:27-32
As I read this passage I can’t help but notice how rough life was even for the guys and gals in the Bible.
Followed by the introduction of a dad (Terah), and his three sons (Abram, Nahor, and Haran), we go on a rollercoaster ride of news, rising high on emotion as Baby Lot is born to Haran, and then the devastating fall out of Haran’s death. I’m sure Terah was grieved over the fact his youngest died before him. Soon after these events the family is uprooted to a new place. While en route Terah dies, and Abram is thrust into the position of “Head of the Household”. Not only is Abram trying to pick up the pieces of a broken and grieving family, he’s also in a foreign land separated from everything he was once familiar with. To add insult to injury he discovers his wife cannot bear children, bringing the dilemma of not being able to continue the family name (which was a big deal in the ancient Middle East).
We’re all big Bob Ross fans here at ClickPopMedia. Today, in the tradition of the Joy of Painting, I am going to show you how to make a happy little cloud.
Welcome back everybody. I sure am glad you could make it out today. Does everyone have their Illustrator warmed up and ready to do some vectorizing? Good.
