New Quest: So You Think You've Got a Dinniman?

You stumbled across some artwork and you want to double-check if it was created by Matt. Well here's a chance for you to check it on your own!

A Quick FAQ
Q: WAIT!!! Author Matt Dinniman created art?!
A: Yes! Matt previously drew animals at pet shows. Additionally, he and his wife ran a business called Collage-O-Rama and sold artwork at cons, on Etsy and Amazon. Some of Matt's artwork was also sold at Ikea.

Q: Can I buy Matt's artwork now?
A: Only on the resale market. Collage-O-Rama has closed, but sometimes the art shows up on second hand markets like eBay or others.

Q: What kind of artwork is Matt/Collage-O-Rama noted for?!
A: The most famous of Matt's artwork are the dictionary art prints.

Q: OHMYGOD I HAVE A DICTIONARY PRINT! IS IT MATT'S?
A: Well now you've reached the real crux of your quest, crawler. Read on to figure out how to tell if your artwork might be a Dinniman.

Easy Ways to Check

  1. If purchased online and not through a resale site, go back to your purchase point. Did you buy it from a store called Collage-O-Rama? Congratulations! It's a Dinniman. Generally, any other stores means it is NOT a Dinniman.
  2. Does your art feature an intellectual property like Disney, famous logos or recognizable characters? The only confirmed Dinniman uses of other IPs are a Jason / Hockey Mask cat and a Tardis / Police Box from Doctor Who.

How Else Can I Check?

Matt's dictionary at work was all laser printed onto dictionary pages. They were all from the same dictionary and will have the same defining qualities.

  1. Check the back of your art. Is it double-sided like a book page? If the book page is not on the front and the back it is NOT a Dinniman
  2. Evaluate the defining qualities of the dictionary page.

Matt's dictionary prints have the following:

  • No tabs or cutouts on the edges
  • 3 columns of text and no vertical lines separating the columns
  • Top margin of the page: Beginning word on left side Page number in the center. Ending word on the right side. The word is always in lowercase unless it's a proper noun. (mountain vs. Mount Everest.).
  • Bottom of the page: Pronunciation guide.

See examples below:

Is there anyplace else I can double-check?
- Artchive: https://collageorama.artchive.site/
- Wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://collageorama.etsy.com

To be clear, we cannot guarantee that any print that meets these qualities is one by Matt. Purchase, trade or otherwise proceed at your own risk.

NEEEEEWWWW ACHIEVEMENT

You've learned how to use your own skills to determine if a dictionary print is Matt Dinniman's art or not. Your reward? A deep feeling of pride.

Lip Balm FYI

Received this on a Disney Cruise this week. Apparently they are phasing out the Dole Whip scent and moving towards something new. I honestly had no idea that they were even Dole Whip scented, but now I do! Curious to see how it will change.

Advice on Spices

The organization I work for will be providing summer food boxes (featuring canned fruit, tuna, Mac and cheese, pasta and PB&J) and produce (assortment of apples and oranges) to families this summer.

We have a company interested in donating some of their spices. Which do you think makes the most sense - both from a contents of the boxes area and actual usability?

Our choices are:

- Romano Cheese + Italian Herbs
- Cinnamon or Cinnamon Sugar
- Minced Garlic
- Herb Blend (salt, pepper, garlic, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and marjoram)

Checking Before Buying

Hi all,

I’m about ready to buy the Paper Pure but wanted to make sure I’m understanding the features correctly for my use case.

I have ADHD (inattentive) and so writing things down and being able to come back to it is a must and something that I can’t easily get distracted by the interwebs would be huge.

How useful is the Remarkable for:

  1. Brain Dumps: I generally do a daily/weekly checklist of what needs to get done. I like being able to go back through the week and check what needs to get carried over.

  2. Access Away from Tablet: I work remotely two days a week and am also out in the community a lot. There will be occasions where the tablet and I aren’t in the same place. Assuming I pay for connect, can I still access my notes?

  3. Replacing Post-It Notes: Sometimes I need to jot down an idea that is a reminder or the beginning of a thought. I don’t know if I would want to go all in on a separate notebook for this, but is there some kind of function for small notes?

Thank you in advance.

I work remotely two days a week (M&F) and

Update: Catio for Relocated Feral Cats

Original Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catio/s/311icHTiNT

I wanted to update this situation because you were all so helpful in recommending things and boosting the post.

Long story short: The state is building a new fishing pier and it will go right through the rocky area the cats live.

Our org recently connected with a woman who rescues pelicans and other birds who now has an animal shelter space. She is willing to let our cats live in the catio spaces at the shelter! I’ll post photos below!

This is the best news because we can keep the colony together, they’ll be much safer and it’s a beautiful, quiet and peaceful place.

Who would have thought this story would have the headline “Birds Save Cats!”
