The blue in there doesn’t look right either.

It is part grunge… but there is a lot of negative space (empty space with solid color).

It is really cool though.

Yeah, you have to copy and paste the URL into the address bar, because Tripod doesn’t allow hotlinking of files :-\

really? how strange! it never does that to me! unless for some reason it knows it’s me or something. i dunno. i don’t really like tripod. i switched to tripod from geocities because tripod supports cgi and perl. i don’t really use perl anymore but its always a huge ordeal to switch unless of course you have something like CuteFTP. oh well. i’ll look around for a better server, or better yet just my own web site.

this is ok, but your just not getting it! look at the Grunge Experiments thread. That will give you ideas. btw, just rename your files to whatever.TXT change it to .txt and you can hotlink away.

it’s avril lavinge. i think i’m done with grunge. it kinda gets boring after a while. i think i work on some more projects with ps so i can really get a handle on it. then maybe i’ll go back and try it again.
