Christians Apr 7, 10, 9:06 a.m.

what exactly goes through your head when reading articles like this? how do you reconcile fact with your religion? do you just dismiss this stuff as "temptation placed by satan" or do you simply edit and delete huge portions of your faith as it becomes convenient? what do your priests think about that practice?

honestly, just curious.

What's the deal with Scarabin? Oct 4, 10, 4:50 p.m.

i know many of you dislike me for whatever reason, and while i can't change that, what i can do is clear some things up. it seems like everyone has a different idea about who i am, and these are often nowhere near the mark. i'd rather you dislike me for who i am than for who you imagine i am.

WHY ARE YOU HERE
i come to qbn because it keeps me up to date on design trends, and you guys make me laugh.

WHY ARE YOU ARROGANT
if you knew me in person you'd know that i'm not. i don't take myself seriously. i don't think i'm better than you, i don't think my job or my work is better than yours. i've never said a single thing about the quality of my work (except that i hope it's good enough to land my next job) and certainly have not insulted anyone else's. i try to never be mean in a crit. i actually avoid crits because it makes me feel presumptuous.

someone here latched onto something i said about "millions of dollars" being at stake with my work. the topic was those annoying "destroy this email" signatures and i defended the mandatory one in mine, explaining that a movie could tank if i accidentally leaked a script or other materials onto the web. this was taken to mean i make millions of dollars and i'm terribly important. i don't know how this happened or why anyone would be so eager to leap there. it honestly baffles me.

WHY WOULD YOU WEAR THAT
i often post weird shit in the WANT thread. i don't wear that shit every day. i wear it to festivals and parties, and for performances. nine out of ten days i'm wearing a plain black tee, ripped up jeans and chucks. i'm having one of my favorite designers make me a pair of leather pants. yeah, that's pretty gay but i think it's kinda rockstar and i'm excited about it. who fucking cares? why does this offend you so? again, i don't do this shit to impress anyone, i'm not trying to fit into any category. i'm just having fun.

ARE YOU GOTH OR EMO OR RAVER OR HIPSTER OR WHAT
definitely "WHAT".

WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT _______
i talk about parties, drugs and burning man a lot. i like these things. a lot. i keep it to the burning man, drugs, blog, and past weekend threads.

i started posting in the "this past weekend" thread a while back and i got comments from people enjoying these posts and asking for more. i complied. then others started bitching about me treating qbn as my personal blog so i stopped doing it. i started back up today because i like looking back on it and because fuck you guys, i like that thread.

in the last couple years i finally started putting names to faces here and found i enjoyed the place more because of it. it also made me nicer to everyone because you stopped being one anonymous clump of people and became individuals to me. so i posted pics of myself in the mugs thread. this turned into a "scarabin is full of himself" kind of a deal and people bitched. not my intent. just joining in your reindeer games.

WHY ARE YOU A DICK
i sincerely apologize for anything i've done in the past to intentionally hurt anyone. when i'm in a heated argument on here, i try to avoid personal attacks and stick to the issue. i think i've done an okay job at this, but i'm sure i've fucked up, too. i make it a point to never hold grudges against someone just because i disagreed with them in a thread. in the next thread we're best friends. i did call out uber and hedge, and i still feel bad about both.

need to vent? do it here. got any questions? i'll answer. call me on my bullshit. just don't presume.

Which would you choose? Jan 28, 11, 3:13 p.m.

and why? if you could have one</> of the following ten magical items:

1. A pot that can produce 1,000 kilograms of any food a day.

2. A bracelet that keeps weather perfect wherever you go and within a 250 kilometre radius.

3. A necklace that allows you to touch books and instantly absorb knowledge from them, without reading.

4. An unlimited bottle of perfume that will make you wildly attractive to the opposite sex (or same sex if you’re gay), which cannot be used on anyone you love.

5. A watch that allows you to reverse time by a minute or less per day.

6. A bell that when rang fixes any one object at a time, excluding living things, within a minute.

7. A chocolate bar, with twelve pieces, that makes anyone who eats a single piece invincible and youthful until the age of 160.

8. A no fuel required, maintenance free, eight person van that can take you anywhere on the planet within one second.

9. A remote control that allows you and another person to change, superficially, into anyone you want; the effect lasts until you decide to revert.

10. An immortal dog that poops out one gold coin every time it goes to the bathroom.

Flyer Crit Mar 4, 05, 3:38 p.m.

i'm a little stumped about what to do with my info type on the front of this flyer. it just doesn't look right to me.

the type can be made any size or color or face. (my complete freedom with this contract is the only reason i accept these shitty flyer gigs)

anyone have any suggestions?
