I Touch Myself

Lately, I've begun Rasterbating (that's with an "R" and not an "M"). I've had so much blank wall space in my apartment for so long, but I've never really known what to do with it. I've considered traditional posters, but I don't want my place to look like some dorm room. I've wanted to something somewhat artsy, but on my budget, my options have been limited. Then, a few days ago, I stumbled upon the Rasterbator web site and I knew that's what I have to do.

I've already created my first rasterbated poster: a poster of Audrey Hepburn (yeah, it's cliche, I know) that I have hung up in my bedroom. The poster looks nice and I'm really happy with it. I'm going to make more such posters, but I haven't settled on what those posters should be of.

The other problem that I have is that the Rasterbating process uses up a lot of printer ink. I've gotten around this so far by simply making use of the printers in the SLU library. It costs 5 cents a page, but that's a hell of a lot cheaper than a new printer cartridge. The Audrey Hepburn poster is a poster of a black-and-white photo. Some of the other poster ideas that I have had would involve color, but I'm not surehow I want to proceed with that.

Here's a picture of my first Rasterbation:
