The "SamPowers Effect"

You know that picture of Jeremy I put up two entries ago? That little effect of making him back and white and duplicating him a lot is called the "SamPowers Effect." Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I invented the method when creating a poster for SamPowers.NET at the beginning of this year.

I was in the office where I used to work and I had this HUGE picture of a local lawyer that Peter had found. I made him black and white and duplicated him a bunch in the background. At first, I thought it would look ridiculously stupid, but it actually looked quite hilarious after I was done with it. Never have I seen that effect used anywhere else, so I thought I should set the record right here, right now that that method was 100% my idea. If I could copyright/patent it, I would. Too bad people can just take creative works and claim them as their own.
