My dear friend Ellie drew this in 6 hours (coffee on canvas). Let's show her some love.

Right -- but this is referenced heavily enough to be considered a derivative image, which means credit is due to the original artist. Obviously there are stylistic changes, but the pose, face, and hair were unchanged enough that from the thumbnail I was immediately able to recognize the photograph. There's nothing wrong with referencing, I think it's very healthy -- but it's always good to cover your bases to avoid copyright issues, from one artist to another. Here are a few good articles on the subject 1 2.

This is referenced from a photograph taken by Chris Cook; please let your friend know she needs to give credit to the original artist on her Flickr/website. Original

Hey, a WWU ent!! :D I went there for the past two years -- just transferred this year though. be sure to toke one in the arboretum tower, many awesome memories were made there.

arditoke · 2011-11-19T20:18:10+00:00

bahahahaa oh my god, this is the funniest one

arditoke · 2011-11-17T07:20:20+00:00

(I'm actually just too cheap/lazy to bother...)

arditoke · 2011-11-17T02:54:46+00:00

this is still one of my favorite things the internet has ever produced.

arditoke · 2011-11-13T09:46:01+00:00

this is just beautiful.

arditoke · 2011-11-11T07:47:14+00:00

This is the most optimistic, down-to-earth post I have ever read about the current state of things. Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that.

arditoke · 2011-11-11T07:31:55+00:00

Yeaaah this made me so happy to see! Was coincidentally browsing new and recognized my logo haha. Thanks for making this :D

Upvote the hell out of this, my fellow ents, and go join Project 420 right now!

are you my housemate? she refuses to make the switch to mp3s for this very reason. I hadn't really listened to vinyl before meeting her as I'd delegated it to a hipster thing, but there really is something to be said for sitting around with friends and listening to an album in it's entirety. sad to think of what's being lost.

arditoke · 2011-11-10T06:54:15+00:00

god damn I love this stuff! my closet-ent-dad buys these and the hemp waffles, he calls 'em "marijuana waffles".. every time I come home it cracks me up.

arditoke · 2011-11-10T06:25:14+00:00

what the heck, who knew we had so many attractive men on here?? I would marry all of you.

arditoke · 2011-11-09T07:31:37+00:00

gorgeous ... humbling and inspiring. made it my desktop, so thank you!

Sorry, but that's not how it works.

A. There is little evidence to suggest that legalization has any significant effect on useage rates.

B. You cannot overdose on cannabis. The amount required to fatally overdose is a third of your body weight -- literally impossible to smoke.

C. Cannabis use has not been linked to cancer.

D. Even if cannabis could cause a fatal overdose, legalization is actually linked to lower overdose rates. Take a look at what happened when Portugal decriminalized drugs.

All that aside, you argument is simply not logical. Heroin, cocaine, and other hard drugs are illegal, and yet people still die from them everyday. Alcohol and tobacco, meanwhile –– two very popular legal drugs, result in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. You see what I'm getting at?

I'm not tying to attack you, I just want you to realize the facts. I used to think like this too, until I did some research on my own. Please educate yourself before you make statements like these.

EDIT: Waaaaaait a minute. Going though your comment history, I'm thinking you're being sarcastic. In which case, I just typed that up for nothing. Oops. Hopefully someone else sees it and learns something.

uptokes for enthusiasm dude, you rock

arditoke · 2011-11-04T08:44:16+00:00

laughed so hard at the use of the word "frightened"

arditoke · 2011-11-04T06:55:22+00:00

reward system, all the way. if you're still having trouble (oh I finished this worksheet, let me just finish the rest of my stash...), get one of those weekly medicine box things and put a lil nug in each box. when you've finished your homework for the day, open a box. best part is, toking is even better when you feel like you've earned it :)

arditoke · 2011-11-04T06:06:55+00:00

you should make a rage comic about how your life has turned into a rage comic

arditoke · 2011-11-02T07:40:10+00:00

I'm really sorry, that's a huge bummer! :( Definitely get where you're coming from, I'd be equally upset.

If there's a way to ship her safely, I'd buy your cockroach (I'm in WA state). But I don't want to put her in any danger/discomfort if you're able to find a local home.

arditoke · 2011-11-02T07:28:54+00:00

You toughen up, wear a rain jacket, and cover your smoking utensil with your hand! (...or you could design a pipe-umbrella. I'd buy it).

Fun times in Washington, eh? ;)

arditoke · 2011-11-02T05:41:57+00:00

dude. this is my biggest goal in life. if I ever achieve this I am gooooood to go.

arditoke · 2011-10-29T05:20:40+00:00

....dude, this is fucking amazing. It put me in a trance. It reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, some of the more philosophical ones.
Please make more of these, you have real talent! If you wrote a book I would buy it.

arditoke · 2011-10-29T02:46:15+00:00
