Alexis Blight isn't evil, she's just really into having a good time.

And our lasto old-o rejecto, yo.

Just between us, the Monkeez set was just an exercise in concepting digital pieces since I am not terribly used to full digital.

All in all, had a good time, but messed up my back marathoning these because I just had to decide to take this opportunity to radically change how I normally sit while drawing out of worry that I've been doing it wrong all these years...

Live and learn...and when you can't live, just listen to people blindly. It always works out. Or so they tell me.

Fun_ScratchSleep

I have hated going to sleep since I was little. Sleep is nice, but going to sleep. Disgusting.

Now that I get to control when my bedtime is, I only sleep when I am exhausted.

One week I remember resisting until I'd collapse in my chair. Good job.

Fun_ScratchRevenge

Found a pad of scratch paper sitting around one day along with some incredibly expressive ballpoints.

One that's on its way out, so you can get some nice tones from its deathrattles, and another that's razor sharp for just gorgeously fine lines.

It is the little things in which joy is at its zenith.

This is joy.

This is revenge.

Vaguely Marco if he were older. I hope he's still alive.

Accidentally read who died...wish I could forget...wish they'd wake up and make it an animated series by now.

Fun_Marco_L

Just mindlessly sketching, but after the fact seems like a Marco.

Maybe when he grows up, as paradoxical as that is. Don't tell me how it ended. I have to read the last 10 books or so.

A pile of postcards I drew starting with Inktober '15, and then carrying over into November.

I dunno.

Y'know?

After I lost my Yale beanie, I had to get another head-warmer for the bitter winter in Japan.

So I got the least ridiculous thing I could find, a beanie-hat combo.

It looks neat, but not for me, so I wanted to draw it on someone who maybe could pull it off.

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.

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.

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

It is unremarkable.

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.

Fun_FFGhibliJamboree

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.

Finally! 2014 is in the backlogged books! Just one more year before we're caught up to being now three months behind schedule!

Sending off 2014 with a Moleskine sketch of our intrepid zeroes. Note, Zero is never supposed to wear pro-JE gear...

When faced with inferiority, it's complex, but Inktober seeks to simplify in '15.

4/4 measures lightyears less than we are.

By which they mean me.

It's in a book.

So it goes.

Added some stars to this because I was thinking about Mario for some reason.

It made sense at the crime.

A drawing for Inktober '15.

You can tell I didn't know what to draw because of all the nonsensical swirls at the top from which I stone-water-like extracted this drawing.

Also the character is just fuming angry for no reason and making some rando gesture, tell-tale signs I don't know what I'm doing.

But of course I know what I'm doing. I always do.

I went to Yale.

And here's our not-so-scary scary Inktober '15 piece.

I imagine she has some kind of pumpkin-based power. She's about to bravely fight off some horrible monster.

And die.
