Amazingly enough that Orleans album cover and the "Let Me Touch Him" cover are real, and can be seen among other hilarities, including the original of the ribs cover at http://porktornado.diaryland.com/albumcover.html, I heartily recommend a visit.

As for technology, it's mostly stuff found on Google Image taken into Adobe Photoshop and given a 2 minute laff-bath, dried carefully and sprayed with a coat of sarco-glitter. For the animated stuff, I use a combo of Adobe After Effects (which is a compositing program that makes a lot of the flashy graphics you see in ads and in films) and Adobe ImageReady to make lean, mean animated gifs out of them.

Some things don't even need the treatment:



Lucky damn Estonians!

Ahhhhhhhhh haa!! Gotta admit, best chuckle I've had all week!

OK, Stewie... I just download a picture that I've searched on Google http://images.google.com/ and load it in Photoshop, which is picture editing software (you could use any freebie pic editing software, though). Then it's just a matter of squeezing, stretching and chopping the overlays until it looks somewhat authentic. When I'm finished, I save it in .jpg format (one of the standards for web use, as it makes nice, small files) and upload it to a server like imageshack.us (free) It gives me the url address of the stored photo, and ba-ding, on it goes!

Maybe that's not Stewie, but a shot from Theo Fleury's last game...
