Calling All PuppyLinux Artists !
Posted: Sat 23 Jun 2018, 23:57
Hello all.
As the title says.
This is a call for a background for a "never-seen-before" Puppy.
The concept is this:
Our poor Puppy has been suffering for the last 15 years from all sorts of
transformations, woofing-CE, trimming, fattening, remastering of all sorts.
He or she (do we really know?) has been forced to live in the company of
strangers: Ubuntus, T2s, Debians, even Archs and what-have-you for
awhile.
And now Core's and Slitaz's? Wheeee!
Following up on sort-of-a-request by a fellow member, I am working on a
minimal Puppy, but not a to-the-bone Puppy. The default WM will be
snapwm (yan-han-han; see attached). There will be almost no music
player, almost no editor, etc.,just enough to give you doggone Puppyists
(from the point of view of our poor abused Puppy) a lot of trouble
rebuilding a Puppy to your liking. Enough said.
When I was a kid, I had a dog who had a skinny -- and strong -- tail. When
she was happy she would wag her tail, of course, and anything in the way
would be swept away or broken. E.g. mom's coffee, dad's Ginger Ale, my
lemonade...
Her dad was a rather big-sized bulldog, and her mom was a mix of a
sausage dog (dachund) and a greyhound (short legs and long nose...).
"Noirette", the result, was a regular-sized dog, who could outrun a car at
30 mph without panting, kill a rat by snapping its neck, howl without end at
crows landing in the yard in the Spring, ferociously dig out the neighbor's
lilac tree, and when her day was done, devour the meal in her bowl, roll
up and sleep like a baby on her favorite cushion.
Was it predestination
, she was dressed a bit like Tux: all black, except
for a white ascot, and white "shoes and gloves".
So the concept of the background would be to convey some kind of
revenge:"look what you made me do, you doggone Puppyists", not to the
point of biting and rabies, however, but with a malicious chuckle and a
wink in her eye.
Not sure about the title: Chuckle Puppy? Revenge Puppy? Surely this group
has language buffs who can suggest a concept between "laughing at you"
and "getting back at you"?
So I declare this picture contest now officially open: the likes of futwerk
and nilsonmorales, anyone with graphic talent: welcome!
Please post your masterpieces below.
The winner will get no cash prize, I'm afraid. (Exception would be if I win
the Lotto!) Only "eternal" recognition and credit. Plus the exposure, the
Oooh's and the Aaaah's on this thread!!!
BFN.
