Stache Tutorial: So you wanna Stache, hmmm?

You come to us asking about how we do what we do - No problem, kids. We're here for you. We're here to serve the public. We started this site to get the laughs AND to show people how easy it was to create content on your iPhone. Sure - It's come to also include an item or two that had some work done on the iPad, but That's just an extension of the app ecosystem. It all works together, no reason to keep it out... But maybe you have a non "i" device, hmmm? Maybe you are living on the other side of the street, but you still wanna know how we built this nice new addition onto the house. We're good neighbors, come on in, we'll show you the blueprints and maybe even pour you a glass of lemonade to help beat the heat.

Start with a picture - sometimes you can skip that step (@pitcherday, I'm looking at you, here). Next you are going to want to noodle with it - NOT that way, you'll go blind - see where the picture takes you. What CAN it be, what CAN"T it be. Got to be realistic with this phase, yo. After the noodling phase, tweak for effect. Get your hands dirty, and kick yourself out of that box that you have been sitting in. It's not doing you any good, anyway. Play with colors and textures. Remember that you have to try to tie it all together. If you aren't Salvador Dali, don't try to be. I made that mistake once... Not pretty. Bubbles and toilet paper all over the damn place.

So let's see where we are at this point:

Yeah... A friend comes in, wants to know how to make a zombie (and I have to say - as far as zombie based knowledge goes, he came to the right people. The Q knows zombies, folks.) on his phone - What happens? He becomes a zombie... Please note - The color effects were alright. They worked, and they got the zombie thing pegged pretty well, but here - at The Q - we expect a little art and style with our posts, so I kicked out the color, punched up the flavor, and the zombie goodness now has an old school wood-cut art style that is sweet enough that some Art History student out there is going to be willing to use the final image as a part of his / her research paper that debunks the crap that Tanya A. Jung tried to pass off in her dissertation, "The Phenomenal Lives of Movable Christ Sculptures."

So that's how you do it. Any questions?
