Hey guys, if you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, and have installed the latest firmware (you’ll know if you did, it cost $20), bookmark Penguinbros and put it on your Home Screen. You’ll see that it has a custom icon! Man! We are some of the first! Google don’t have one, Meebo doesn’t have one… HECK! APPLE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ONE YET! Just saying. We first.
I’m off to college tomorrow! Woop!
Look to antiART for my latest stroll around the Photoshop block, Keep Walking.
In light of my beta-testery, I have been invited out to the snowy plains of Spokane, Washington to visit Cyan Worlds, the developers behind Cosmic Osmo’s Hexisle. Now this is something of a pilgrimage for me, since these people were responsible for my favorite games of all time, such as Myst. You may recall that over the summer I was involved with a certain fan-convention called Mysterium. This is no coincidence, friends.
A trip report upon my safe return (and no need to pack warmly — I am a penguin after all).
Welcome to 2008! At the writing of this post, the Penguin Brothers are on holiday vacation — meaning they actually have a little time to provide content for their website! Check back in the weeks to come for thought-provoking controversial revolutionary regular ‘ol content, proudly brought to you by the brothers Penguin.
Hey guys, what’s happening? How about that month of September? That was really something, huh? Yeah, Red Penguin and I have been booted from our cushy summer jobs into the “real world.” We had an excellent summer of Sun & Fun: Comic-Con, Mysterium, and seeing some of our more reclusive FV crew members in a relaxed social context. All & all excellent, but as I said it has come to an end. After we snuck off the Polar Cruise ship which brought us to Antarctica, we had a several weeks journey to McMurdo Station. Once there we parted ways to our respective educational institutions. I arrived to my posh private college and settled in right quick, but I didn’t hear back from Red for a while. When it comes to him, it’s not uncommon to get the silent treatment. That said, he’s been a unusually hard to get in touch with as of late. He goes to the Igloo City School of Design but this year he’s living in an outer borough, so the internet’s been rather shoddy for him. He’s got some other stories to tell but I’ll leave it up to him to tell them.
So anyway, after all this nonsense, I bring to you a new antiART update. It’s called “I got blood on my hands,” which sounds ominous but I assure you is the lyric in a song by TPB (WARNING: Gothic Country is not for the weak of heart or stomach). I hope you enjoy this piece: half of it came from Los Angeles and the other half came from New York. I’ll leave it up to you to parse which is which, not that it really makes a difference to me.
So anyway, on the topic of updates. Like I’ve said, Red’s internet’s bad. My problem? I’m insanely busy directing The Rocky Horror Picture show at my school. Yes, I am not joking. I’m also taking a class on Fairy Tales and a class on Literary Theory (Freud, Saussure, Lacan — those guys), and then some. I was lucky to wring this update out, but I can’t promise any degree of consistency at this stage. By the end of the year, Red and I plan to take Penguinbros.com in a slightly different direction, to “unthaw” (if you will) certain aspects of the website. Continue sticking around in the meantime, we appreciate your return visits!
File this under “better late than never.” In fact, with Comic-Con looming on the horizon there was every reason to pound out this Mysterium 2007 trip report right now. I do this under sleepy conditions, and in addition to this I really have no memory of who I was with at a given time — sorry! Now no two Mysterium experiences were the same, but I’m sure that all of them were memorable and enjoyable. Here is mine: ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
