HI everyone! I decided to start a self-pimpage thread in order for everyone to post links to their "Burn Notice" art work, videos, fanfic, etc. Feel free to post your art work in this thread as well if you like. OK I'll start here's a link to a little video I made that I have up now on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKt-bki8Vhw

FR,

Sounds like a great idea, but I think if we started to move the tag-team written "Questions" fanfic here....we might break a few brains.....Maybe if I come up with some (MUCH!!!) shorter work though.....

I love this idea! Alas, I am not very creative when it comes to this sort of thing, but I am a great admirer of those who are. So I will very much enjoy seeing/reading what people post here. I wanted to link to a few things from the "wallpapers" thread, as there were some fantastic and artistic wallpapers related to BN over there -

NatashaFatale provided a link to her own terrific BN wallpapers and gave permission for anyone to use 'em. She's got some really artistic ones - although I have to say, I'm partial to the gratutiously shirtless JD/MW wallpapers myself, lol.

Vestokes provided a link that includes wallpapers related to BN via LiveJournal:TVBoyfriends (scroll down the page to find 'em) - some of them are so creative!

Anakalia posted a link to a couple of her wallpapers, which are available here.

Anyone else have any artsy wallpapers or other artworks that they want to post over here? I'd love to see it...

HI everyone! OK I was listening to Maroon5's "Woman" the other day and I decided to make a little video to it. If you would like please check it out here:

I would love to know what you think! OK, thanks everyone!

FiRocks!!! Woo-hooo that was great!!!
The song is perfect for them and the clips you chose.
Thanks for sharing (& starting this thread!!! ) Peace.

Thanks Gia, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my video and thanks for your compliments, I really appreciate it!

This was sooooooo cool. Great job. Love Maroon 5. great choice of music.! Make more!, maybe w/ea. of the main characters. Pleeeeeeeeeease. Pretty please. Really good work.
-K-

Thank you so much, kaiulani for taking the time to check out my video! I really, really appreciate it! Mahalo! BTW I do have an idea right now for a Michael video using the theme from "Mission Impossible". I'm still thinking about it and I'll post it as soon as I've made it.

Natashafatale where did you get the action figures on your wallpaper thread

Not necessarily real art, but this is somthing I've been foolin' with for a few days; I've recreated a 1st draft of Carla's business card from s2.

Here is the screen cap from the end of Ep 4 "Comrades"



... And here is a scan of my recreation:



I'm not a graphic artist kinda guy, so the tools I used were from WORD, which is rather limited. But I think it turned out okay for a first attempt. The graphics are not an exact match and I still have not ID-ed the fonts used in the address and the last line. I'm also guessing about the zip code, since Fi's finger is covering it in the photo.

But I am pretty happy so far.


-Mac

good job mac, the font looks like tahoma, arial or comic sans for aquifer specialist.....keep up the good work

Cool jlove15, thanks for the suggestions. I am leaning toward Diamanti Condensed EF Heavy for the address line. I am doing some font searches on-line now.

I pretty much agree with my friends that her name is in Arial, so I am happy with that part.

**EDIT**
"Aquifer Specialist" is especially tough because it looks like a different font between the two words. If you look at the "e" in both, one seem level and the other seems to slant. It also lookes like there is a font change between "Specia-" & "-list", but it is a low res picture.

Thanks!!
-Mac

I got them at yes-i'm-obessed-with-burn-notice-convenience-store -- AKA just some photoshop fun with Burn Notice Action Figures that started in the "what are they saying" caption thread

I'll have to give credit to the fab Lulu for giving me the idea when she mentioned suggested that Mattel makes a SPY Mike et al & sell them at a Toys R Us. They should!

Which reminds me... I'm still waiting to see if USA/NBC/Universal will add any BN merchandise AT ALL to their online store, considering BN has been one of their tops shows for 2 seasons now. Still all they list is the dvd & book. *sigh* no snowglobes or mugs for us

anywho, nice vids & art/business cards in this thread, ya'll!

bump

Great job with the cards, macgyversg10! Here's what it looks like in Arial: Aquifer Specialist and here's Tahoma: Aquifer Specialist IMHO they both look pretty close to the original typeface, but I'm leaning more towards Arial because it's not as compacted as Tahoma. Anyhow, have fun with it, make sure to show us your finished product!

cool, can't wait.
-K-

yeah about "aquifer specialist" its either two different fonts that are similar or its the same font and "specialist" is in bold

Okay, here's one a friend of mine did in Photoshop (a real man's graphic arts tool)


I think he nailed it. Too good for me!!! He wins.

** EDIT **
Ok, this is the modified rev with the correct spelling.

-Enjoy,
-Mac

Nice job with the video. I just recently got into the show but it is awesome. The show reminds me of a song by a band named City Line (www.myspace.com/citylineband). If you guys want to check it out its the one called burn =P

Anyway, how cool would it be to have the song and the show put into one?

Welcome and thanks for the link, sunburst! It really is a great song, it really is such a "Burn Notice" song:
"I'm wondering where you are,
Since you're inclined to disappear.
Everything goes numb,
But everything gets clear.

Show me that you're alright,
I know you're gonna fight,
The urge to make the best,
Try to forget the rest.

And now,
You're simmering in your emotions.
You're flickering like a flame.

You know you're old enough to learn,
But you refuse to part with that old familiar burn.
And you need someone to ease the pain,
But you can't because no one can escape their name.

You're waiting for the call,
In regards to who I'll be.
And time slows to a crawl,
And I find it hard to breathe.

When will you realize,
This is way too hard for me?
And when will the good inside,
Finally come clean?

And now,
I'm simmering in my emotions.
I'm trying to shed the blame.

When will I finally feel it?
How long will this take to heal, yeah.
How much more could I deal with?
And how, should I be?
When the "you", seperates from me.
In truth, I'm never gonna leave myself, again.

You know you're old enough to learn,
But you refuse to part with that old familiar burn.
And you need someone to ease the pain,
But you can't because no one can escape their name."

Now the real question, can anyone make (or find) one of these?

Hey Mac, how about this site http://www.customwaterglobes.com/index.html
maybe they can make one for you based on the picture. Peace.
(and they are based in Miami!)

I don't know how I missed this until now! I loved this video - one of my favorite moments you highlighted of Michael and FI is when they're meeting a the bar before Mike confronts Carmello...I love their body language in that moment, and how Fi says, "knock 'em dead." Very cool! I loved the music, too. Most excellent!!!!

WOW, that's AMAZING, Mac! Wow...you all are so incredibly creative *and* talented.

Those action figures are AWESOME!! I missed hearing about LuLu's action Mattel "Spy Mike" doll idea, but I love it! LuLu has such a wicked sense of humor, lol. Hope you're having a wonderful vacation, LuLu!

Dear I Like Collectibles, I too am wondering where you can find such a snowglobe. My mother is an avid collector of snowglobes and she loved Fiona's collection (especially the one of the Taj Mahal in the background - I'll have to try to screencap that one).

ETA: This isn't the same snowglobe, but this was too funny not to post here - this store actually has a little video clip of the snowglobe "in action," LOL!

Thanks Philippa I'm glad you liked it! It was a lot of fun to make, as was this one:
http://www.imeem.com/people/FpAeud_/video/...embers_tv_video
It's a support video for all my fellow ABNO members, I hope it brings you solace!

Rockin' LGia, that's a grand option ...AND, they're in Miami (How appropriate is that!!!). I need to make contact with these cats.


... you don't suppose they made the original episode one, do you??




Thanks you, but ...
Nah, I'm just a hack who occasionally get's a good idea or two. Mostly I've got good friends. Hey, I found you guys, didn't I?? ... get on with yer bad selves!!!!

Dear Enquiring Minds in Ol' Virginny

Well, we just gotta make this work, for your mum's sake as well as snowglobe collectors everywhere. I think many a folk her would love a snappy BN snowglobe. I've seen some fancy ones at Nordstroms, but that was up in the OC. I'm down near SD now and don't know exactly where to look.

Hopefully LGia's wedsite idea will pan out ...


-Mac

I found one on the same page with a dolphin that kind of looks like the one Michael gave Fi:
http://www.nycwebstore.com/detail.aspx?PRO..._ID=ZZ-DMSG4038

Hey, we're off and running. Great work!!

Humm ... after looking more closely at their minimum order requirements, I see that you have to order at least 500 units , which unfortunately it not feasible for me to do

However, I did send a suggestion to the USA network, so maybe we can get them working with the snowglobe manufacturer that LGia found and they can produce one we could all purchase??

Fingers crossed,

-Mac

Delurking for a little self pimpage...

I recap/review and discuss all things Burn Notice at the TV Watchers blog for my local newspaper.
If you'd like to check it out, please feel free. There's also no registration on the site, so be sure to leave comments (just keep it clean, and please be respectful of other posters).

I'm really trying to get the blog rolling after a slow summer season, and my most recent post is an argument against USA Network's decision to air a split season of BN.

(If you check out the bottom of the blog, there are a few pictures from the upcoming episode "Double Booked". Enjoy!)

Siggy first of all welcome and great job with the self-pimpage! I love your blog, it's great! OK everyone, more self-pimpage I finished my Michael Video and if you would like to check it out go here: http://www.imeem.com/people/FpAeud_/video/...sible_tv_video/
Thanks everyone!

Oh MY!!! Fi - you do Rock!!! That was great!!! Love that you even got the scuba scene, and the scene throwin the grill gas on the car!!! Great loved it!!! Peace.

Siggy, I visited your blog and left a post for you there! Great work, and I look forward to reading your blog on a regular basis!

AWESOME video of Michael Westen, FiRocks!!!! I'm glad you included that moment when Michael is meeting with Agent Bly, who has set Fi up and Michael has to run to Fi to warn her that the cops are onto her thanks to Bly. He was *such* a super-spy in that moment, wasn't he? *clasped hands, wistful sigh*

Thanks gia and Philippa for taking the time to check out my video I really appreciate it! OMG I can't believe I spelled Michael's last name wrong, I'm so embarassed! I edited my title and so I'm uploading the video again to correct it. Thanks for pointing that out Philippa! I was so busy editing other parts I didn't even notice the misspelling!
ETA: Here's the new link:
http://www.imeem.com/people/FpAeud_/video/...sible_tv_video/

Ummm...what misspelling? LMAO!!!!! Man...I was sitting here thinking, hmmm - what did she misspell, Michael? *lol*

LOL! No I think I'm almost to the point where I could type Michael in my sleep and not misspell it, since I type it so often. I spelled Westen as Weston so I had to go back and edit! Anyhow, thanks again for checking out my video, I really appreciate it!

...just checked out your MI/Michael video. Niiiiiiice. so cool. again, really good work.
Kai

I just loved the video. I think I thanked FiRocks - but if not - thanks !

FiRocks - I just enjoyed your videos again...please keep up the good work....you have a following now How about something for BC or did I miss that one?

Thank you so much kaiulani and elisetx for your kind words about my videos, I really appreciate it! Elisetx I haven't made the Sam video yet, I couldn't think of a song to use for the video so I posted a request for song ideas in a thread. Anyhow, today I was listening to "Everybody Wants You" which was used as the season two promo song and I thought "HEY! That's perfect!" Anyhow I don't have much time this week but I'll probably get to it this weekend. Thanks again everyone!

Take your time, FiRocks - all good things take time. Plus it gives us something to look forward to in the upcoming days away from BN. Can you believe this???? We've still got like, well over a week to go before we get to see our beloved BN again. *melodramatic sob*

Great song choice.............thanks and looking forward to your next release!

Thanks elisetx! No, no pressure at all, why do I have a feeling that I'm going to be listening to "Under Pressure" a lot this week on my iPod?

I enjoyed your videos FiRocks. "What's the fun in staying safe, I think I'd rather misbehave" is definitely Fi's theme. I'll have to download that song. The other song was on point too for Mikey. And thank you for taking our feelings of loss seriously during this break from our beloved BN.

Hi Siggy! I read your blog and posted a comment! I completely agree w/everything you said! I would love to watch ALL of season 2 without ANY interruption! I can not believe USA is going to make us wait 3 WHOLE "FREAKING" MONTHS to see the rest of this season! THAT REALLY SUCKS!

omg FiRocks i just watched the "Everything" video it was great you chose all the best scenes.....Way to Go!!!
