Simple & Natural

Following simple mathematical rules can make drawings plucked entirely from your imagination seem "realer". It's true. Logarithmic compositions and even just consistent spacing and shapes will improve the believability and appeal of your fantasy vegetation.

Kazaap!

A drawing of an electric eye taken with an electric eye encoded into electricity then into light then back into electricity then back into light by your display then into your eyes where it's changed back into electricity for your brain which makes you ask yourself, "Is that crayon or colored pencil?". Who's in charge now, buster?

I'm Tired Of This Sh*t


THEN
sigh... a long week
slept in onion soaked sheets
lost in a catacomb of cubicles
with a vice on my testicles

NOW
but tonight Tonight TONIGHT
the juice hits my nostrils
the bass shakes my tonsils
electricity in blue bolts
felicity not blue balls

LATER
my life's in the pits
I'm tired of this shit

MUCH LATER
I quit.

NOT MUCH LATER
No! Instead I'll own it.

MUCH MUCH LATER
sigh... I've outgrown it.

Embarrassing Confession Time: "The Network TV Interview"


Sometimes I fantasize about being interviewed on network television, where I layout my bleak worldview while the host does his best to sit and nod politely but is clearly upset with me for destroying his Nielsen ratings.

Hairy Sparkler Doodles

These photos were taken by leaving a camera shutter open for fifteen seconds while drawing shapes in the air with a sparkler. You know 'a sparkler,' a fire and electricity emitting stick, we adults like to give to young children, so we can watch their fear transform into detached amusement. Who doesn't like to see that process at work?

I like them because it looks like we're waving a long string of shiny plastic Christmas tree garland through the air, and who doesn't like Christmas and gravity playing together? Maybe religiously devout Christian astronauts, but that's only like 0.0000001 percent of the world's population, and if they don't like it they can just leave, Buzz that means you.


Adam - Flower




Amy - Sun 




Jamie - Star




Keith - Smile




  I stole the idea from a photo of Picasso I once saw.

March Sketchbook Dump

No rhyming this time.  Just doodles.  Wonderful marker doodles.

Here's the most interesting page chunk in my latest sketchbook.  I've been into Mayan hieroglyphics and Dave Cooper lately.  There's some fun little nuggets in all the mess.

Strange Mood - Sinus Infection




Kings can be defeated.
beaten or breaded.

Pizza maybe deviled eggs.
Mood stablizers.
A mirror with a bevelled edge.
Image tranquilizer.

Taste and rate.
dishes and plates.
Feasts from the past.

Swollen and hairy.
I'm very sorry.

At least population is increasing.
So things can't be all bad.

9 to 5 in' it.




Work force, work horse, work boss.
Get up brush your teeth and floss.
Put on a clean shirt and give your hair a squirt.

It's time to make some bucks.
It's bucks that make my time.
If your mind is on your money...
everything is fine.
If you're fined money don't pay
it any mind.
Head down, big smile, shoes shined.

Take The Money

Gifts of money are just grand...
until you have to take the stand.
Where jealous people with hateful jelly eyes
will ask you to recall...
how and when and why and where...
you, Mr. Viking, got it all.

So when you get slimy money scrub it clean
Hide the hurt, the dirt, and the paid-for-skirts.
Return brown paper to its proper green.

Friendship Curse


"I liked my new friend a few moments ago, but now I don't.  Nothing has changed between us.  Right?"

Sorry the bubble has burst.
Your friendship is cursed.
Warm feelings don't last forever
Because one day we all discover
That Bobby is no better than Jimmy who is no better than Jane
Retroactive personality lameness... that crushing sameness
Is the worst kind of adulthood pain

Bad Elements


Mercury, Lead, Uranium, Plutonium
Beasty, Brick, And Bobo
All Bad Elements
Don't Put Them In Your Mouth
Don't Let Them Under Your Skin
They're Catalysts For Dangerousness
They'll Take You Down With 'Em
You Think It's Clowning Around
You Think You're Painting The Town
Well Lemme Tell You Something
Do You Want A Life Where
You Spend Your Days And Nights Slumming
Drug Smuggling
Huffing
Puffing
Head Numbing
And Ruining Your Plumbing
Living To Forget You're A Mess
And Everyday Asking For Forgiveness
A Life Like That Is Senseless
Do What Your Dad Tells Ya
Stay Bad Element-less

Robot Love


People And Their Feelings
Bah!
Who Need's Em
So What If Some Are Soft
And Smell Better Than Food
They Want Too Much
And Talk About
What They Want Too Much
Which Is Rude!

They Need So Many Things
Sleep, Sheep, Water, Wheat
Vitamin C, Vitamin B,
Six AND Twelve
Photos And Frames And Shelves
Touch And Smiles From Strangers
Comfort AND A Little Danger!

See!
They Want Impossible Things
Paradoxical Things
Things That Can't And Will Never Exist
Ephemeral Things They Should Try To Resist
Things That Last Forever And Shouldn't
Things That Do What One Couldn't

Well, Well, Well
It's A Crazy Chase
To Keep Everyone Happy
So They Stay In One Place
There's Always A Better Way
That's What My Dad Used To Say
And Here It Is
The Gee Arr Ell Ex Six

It Does Everything Humans Do
Eat, Sleep, Worry, Waste, And Want
Walk, Wait, Bathe,Baste, And Flaunt
And It Does These Things More Efficiently
Than Humans Do Them By A Factor Of Three

The Only Problem Is They're Highly Flammable
And One Or Two May Have Gone Cannibal
But Don't Worry We're Working On A New Model
The Next Generation Will Be Much Slicker
Which We Can't Say For Humans, Eh?
Yes... They Just Get Sicker!
