    The West Wing #1.09:

    It’s not about abortion. It’s about the next twenty years. Twenties and thirties, it was the role of government. Fifties and sixties, it was civil rights. The next two decades, it’s gonna be privacy. I’m talking about the Internet. I’m talking about cellphones. I’m talking about health records, and who’s gay and who’s not. And moreover, in a country born on a will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this?

Graphical Tomfoolery

Posted by jetblack on November 20th, 2005

I dabble a little bit with graphic art; mostly because I wanted to make my encyclopedia a little more colorful than simply writing a bunch of words. I’d been working on unit patches for some of the fictional ships in my universe, and I thought I would share the ones that required me to use Japanese lettering:


Unit Patch for the CSS Taiho (BB-01) Unit Patch for the CSS Akagi (BB-06)

I used Paint Shop Pro, and it probably shows that. The kanji for both says “Space Battleship” (Uchuu Senkan) and then the name of the ship. Both are named for World War II carriers, the Taiho and the Akagi. I have a bunch more made, but I’m not sure if anyone even wanted to see these ones to begin with :P If they’re red x’s, then livejournal sucks right now. They’ve been loading intermittently for me.
