clientsfromhell: Client: My blog needs to have a picture that can easily be taken from Google images or other free sources. Me: Hate to break it to you, but you can’t legally use Google images for free photos. Client: Uh, yeah, you can. Just right click and click “Save Image As…” I shouldn’t have to tell you this. You’re supposed to be the graphic’s expert.

Spheres & Stuff & 3D things!
