Rule 34: “If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.”

I was making this sign for a book cover (where it’d appear on the wall as a framed print), then thought: why stop there?

Back when I worked at a backbone ISP, the first day HR training session was interesting.

“If you object to adult material, please do not walk through the art department. We make 2/3 of our revenue from adult content.”

Maybe you like the weird stuff. Maybe it just makes you hilariously happy that the weird stuff exists because then you’re something approaching normal. Maybe you just need a new shirt and randomly clicked on this page.

Whatever freak flag you fly (or, you know, don’t fly :wink:), Rule 34 is there for you.

I have various products now available on Redbubble, Society6, and Zazzle.

In addition to the clothing options on all three of the above stores, the design’s also available in a bunch of other formats, including:

I thought I’d go over some of the things I’ve discovered or loved in the last year, in no particular order.

1. Johnny B. Truant’s essay, The universe doesn’t give a flying fuck about you. It’s an interesting head trip: by making everything you could possibly do look small, it help reduces fear for the consequences of what you do. Interesting NLP technique there.
   

   If you want to be awesome in this life, do awesome things.

2. Bats hangin’ out on a tree.

3. Milford. Northern Wales and an amazing workshop.

4. My whirlwind round-the-world tour featuring a visit with friends in New Zealand, more friends in Australia, even more friends in South Africa, and a play with an actor I like in London.

5. Overwerk. Especially when used in the Air Tahiti Nui video.

6. Tim Grahl and his tips on book and author marketing.

7. Tiffany Reisz. Bookalicious Pam listed The Siren as one of her favorite novels of the past year. On her recommendation, I inhaled the first four books between Christmas and New Year’s. I think her new book, The Saint, is even better.

8. James Mickens’s “The Slow Winter” is one of the few short stories ever where Rick and I have quoted random lines to each other. Most frequently, “This does not lead to rising property values in Tokyo!”

9. Hard-hat behind-the-scenes tour of the newly-opened part of SFO’s Terminal 3. That was pretty sweet, especially the ability to go onto the roof and watch the planes land.

10. The number of people who search my site for the mongoose joke. (two today!)

11. All the fun I’ve been having with Society6, Redbubble, and Zazzle. Thanks, everyone.

Here’s a Dihydrogen Monoxide Containment Shield shower curtain.

This is a photo I took in 2010 when I was on the big island of Hawai’i.

Available now from Society6 in prints, cards, pillows, shower curtains, coffee mugs, tote bags, clocks, rugs, and laptop, phone, and iPad skins and cases.

Note that while the coffee cup is available, the flower’s center is opposite the handle.

#3 Design element credits

• Font is Daft Brush from Pintassilgo Prints, purchased as a part of a Design Cuts bundle.

• Splotches, including angel body and wings, are from the Splatter Brushes bundle from Robin Gough designs, purchased as a part of the Beautifully Artistic Brushes bundle that’s still got three days left to purchase. I’ve been really happy with their design elements. Even though I don’t do design for my primary income, the bundles I’ve purchased (five so far) have already paid for themselves.

• Background is a watercolor texture from Kimmy Designs.

• Blended into that layer is a tie dye layer, using techniques I picked up from this video.

It’d be nice to have a link back to desamo.graphics, deirdre.net, redbubble.com/people/desamos, and/or society6.com/desamo, but it’s not required.
