Been a bit, hasn’t it?
Well, just back off! I’ve been busy, okay?
To make it up to you, I’ve posted a big one. Just click on the thumbnail to see my latest “meeting doodle”. But don’t stare at it too long; it’s WAAAAY too nice outside to sit around just staring at your computer screen.
This is a Snubbler. That’s about all I know about him. Well, that, and he apparently loves a good frolic.
Or would that be a cavort? Or maybe a romp? Or a gambol? How ’bout a caper?
Whatever. All I know is, he looks like he’s enjoying himself immensely.
Maybe you should go out and indulge in a good dose of frolicking right now, too. Just try to keep the drooling to a minimum.
There’s a LOT of people in there….and some ain’t too happy.
Sorry…I’m shooting blanks from my “witty comment” gun right now. I’ll let you decide what should go here.
I was roughing out a box for a layout concept I was working on, and decided to take a different tack. But I still had the faint beginnings of a box on my paper. I couldn’t very well just leave it there unused, now could I? That would be irresponsible and wasteful.
So I drew a beefy guy struggling to lift the box, which was deceptively heavy considering it was only half-drawn. Boxes are like that sometimes. Especially doodled ones.
Our local police departments post their latest mug shots online. This provides a great resource for doing face studies. I did this quickie sketch in about 15-20 minutes using red, blue and black Bic ballpoint pens.
Oliver was living proof that it is VERY difficult to be a well-rounded bodybuilder and be obsessive-compulsive with a left arm fixation.
As my friends know, I DESPISE squirrels.
Well, as if my feelings towards these nasty little vermin needed any prodding, I stumbled upon a video of a squirrel dropping the false pretense of “cute little acorn eater” and going full-blown, Wild Kingdom carnivore on a blue jay. (Due to the nature of the video and some language therein I won’t post a link, but it isn’t that hard to find the video in question on YouTube.)
Now, before anybody starts yacking about “he was only defending his nest”….nope, that argument doesn’t work. To kill the blue jay as an act of self-preservation is one thing, but the bushy-tailed rat EATS the blue jay! There’s even a follow-up video that shows what was left of the bird when ol’ Squirrelly McNutjob got finished chowing down.
So think about that the next time you’re tossing crackers to a squirrel in the park. He may be nibbling away on that saltine, but the whole time he’s doing that, he’s also scoping you out and thinking, “Mmmm-mmmm….fresh meat!”
We were developing some cartoon characters at work, and one of the characters my friend Jennifer came up with was this little slug guy in his underwear. Her concept for him was great, and all I really had to do was flesh him out a bit, as you can see here.
However, my brain is wired in such a way that I have to flush out any competing variations of a character before I can really get moving on the final, approved version. So, flush away I did…all over an unsuspecting piece of paper in a meeting.
Where the toothy robot and flaming pear bomb thingy came from, I have NO earthly idea. I guess the current from the “slug flushing” was just too strong and they got pulled in by the rip tide.
