Another from the reject heap...yeah.

Just wanted to draw a sagely turtle (the last in our turtle series).

Yeah.

Wanted to sketch something digitally for once. With a flag on a face.

And a typo'd URL. I typo the URL constantly...you have no idea. But it's just too idiotic to change it.

So there.

Fun_NoAidea

I wanna say this was a sketch from when I had a TV or I was doing a sketch inspired by that one member of Perfume, but I can't remember. I do know I inked this to practice with the G-Pen, though.

So there's that.

Alrighty, live from our cheapo 7-11 grid pocket sketchbook, a little Alexis Blight, with neato eyebrows, caked with as many artistic doohickies I could jam onto the paper, including Copics and my lame-o white out.

An appeal of the cheapie stuff is that it makes you less afraid of ruining a piece and just think, "Meh, let's see what happens," which I feel is something I need to be less precious about art. Drawing live in pen also ironically helps embolden you. Just make a choice and deal with it. Go with it. Think about it if you want, but just do it. You idiot.

So I just went with a risky move I felt wouldn't be correct--adding a much lighter color tint on top of the generally finished base, and well, I messed it up, so I had to coat everything over with the color to smooth out the color-warping.

Still not a Copic scientist after all these years but at least at this point I knew in my gut that color layer was a bad idea. But meh, wanted to see what would happen.

What good is a sketchbook if it can't take some Copics? Our roving reporter was on the scene to find out.

Bought a little pocket grid sketchbook on the deeeeep cheap the 7-11 bargain bin they put out every now and then when they just cannot sell something.

Decided to give a little sketch of Alexis Blight, though obviously decided that after I finished the eyebrows...

Fun_NonsenseTheAlbum

An album cover for a CD from the 90s that doesn't exist.

Easter Eggs: The lyrics-like pattie is an old email, and we're up to our neck in/with it.

Used the art from this picture of a print of a scan of a picture I drew in some old sketchbook of Dan.

Fun_Fische

Drawing in the Moleskine in some dreary building of dreary people in a dreary mood.

But Kingdom Hearts and the fish toothpick vibe always remains. Regains. Re-sanes.

Fun_TheFrenchFiasco

A disaster of French ancestry scrawled amidst the ostensible bustle of daily laborings.

It is unremarkable.

Like your mom.

Ok, let's get off the nostalgia kick before we spiral into the don't-get-out-of-bed zone this weekend.

An idiotic card alter I did for practice...maybe my second card ever.

Stupid.

From that old envelope in the old file I found...these long-lost originals...thought I'd given them away, but I guess it was just the giant posters we made from these.

Ah.

Feeling really down. Nostalgia, man. Bittersweet.

Fun_GridOfDespair

This was the cover image of that old file I found the other day. I believe it was originally for some worksheet I made, and then I mashed them all together for some new game.
Out of curiosity about whether I'd posted all of these images, I went crawling around the Removal archives...so many memories in the old art I came across. I don't take photos of myself (aside from like references for hands and stuff), and I haven't really taken photos of people since college...so everything is wrapped up in these old drawings I've posted on this site over the years--we're closing in on ten years, aren't we? I saw this one, for instance and felt so strange...nostalgic, sad, I dunno.

I'd say I have difficulty being warm verbally. But I express my love for people with art. Just seeing old posts, and all the hidden meaning behind the art I can't express otherwise. Seeing people happy through my art. Making people happy through my art.

There is no other purpose.

Starting 2015 of the backlog run off right on the wrong foot or eight with my first card alter I ever did.

Awful.

But just testing the waters. Boom.
