I thought this one might be fun. I somehow got to drawing a guy who reminded me a bit of Seasick Steve.
I like that Seasick Steve fellah. He seems like a nice guy. It was pointed out to me that the instrument in the picture above has too many strings. Well, all I have to say is that this isn't Seasick Steve and that ain't no diddley bow.
Here is a video of Steve for your viewing enjoyment.
I've started my leave, and I finally have some time to draw. I admit I started out a little lazy, but I'm starting to get in the groove of everything. Anyway, here is a bunch of stuff. I find I'm enjoying doing theme pages more and more. I've been really getting into the mood of simple narrative lately, and I think pretty soon I'll be able to graduate to "comic".
This is just a bunch of random junk. Most of it sucks pretty badly, but I like the Groening-inspired frog in the corner there.
I saw Harry Potter, so I just kind of tossed that one down. It's okay I guess. My favourite on the page is Trans-Am Sam. I love that little picture.
Here's some narrative, it's Captain Space Hero and his sidekick saving the universe from the Killbots of Doom. In the future, people always lose track of what year it is (or maybe they're just proud of it?) and so it's posted up on the wall there in a big digital sign. Also of interest is the temperature, the weather and your horoscope.
I think the general agreement is that "Outdoor concert" is the best of today's pictures. I don't know if I agree with that, but I still like it. I have no idea what the narrative is, I guess raccoons don't like rock'n'roll? It's still pretty fun though.
This one is okay, but I wasn't quite sure what to do with the table, and my eraser was filled with graphite dust and it just smeared when I tried to correct it. It's time to quit when your eraser refuses to erase.
Just for the hell of it, here are King Khan and the BBQ singing about balls. Again.
I've been going on and on enough about how great this pilot is. It was made for Teletoon's "Pilot Project" which consists of this and a bunch of other cartoons that aren't as awesome as this one. I'll just post an embedded video of it right here so it's easy to watch! Made by Nick Cross and Troy Little, here is the pilot for "Angora Napkin"!
Hey, here are some more sketches I did. I also drew Carl Sagan because he was awesome.
This one is just some stuff. I like the hanging guy, it looks kind of neat. I'm a big fan of interesting lines of action (as if you didn't know already). I've also been doing a lot of fish-eye warped perspectives lately. They're fun to draw.
You guessed right! The guy on the far right is Rick Astley. He's never going to give you up, never going to let you down. Why does that other guy have a chef's hat? I don't know. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I had a chef's hat in the previous picture and a guy sitting with a fork. I think I must have been hungry.
I gave Cthulu a butthole. It doesn't show up very well on this scan. You can tell by the cat looking at the "cheezburger" that I've had memes on my mind lately. "Sports Entertainment" is what WWE calls "professional wrestling". It seems to me to be a more polite euphemism to the people who actually wrestle.
There's my Carlcature (A caricature of Carl) and some other stuff. I like the broke guy, and the shark is neat. I also just noticed that the symbol on the hero's costume is both a "!" and a "H". I'm really clever and I didn't even realize it!
Just because I've been putting videos in lately, here is somebody's cover of Vangelis' "Alpha" which is featured on Carl Sagan's Cosmos. It's like Vangelis played by Wyld Stallyns. One of the reasons I consider this cover to be so great is that I think Carl Sagan would have agreed wholeheartedly with the sentiment: "Be excellent to each other; and party on, dudes.". Carl Sagan believed in humanity's ability to ask courageous questions. Bill and Ted believed in humanity's ability to produce unlikely answers. I guess it's kind of silly that a documentary and a teen movie are important to me, but they seem to believe in people the way that I want to. Fair enough, right?
Ah, my favourite day of the year. This year I was Professor Layton. I printed off a bunch of puzzles and handed them out to people. It was great. Here is an awesome Max Fleischer you can watch for some Halloween fun:
If the YouTube title is to be believed, this cartoon is "banned". Banned from what? By who? What did Max do to deserve this banishment? Are his cartoons just too awesome? Are there grave councils to determine which obscure 1930's cartoons should be banned from some unspecified kind of exhibition? Could you imagine what would happen if CHILDREN were to stumble upon cartoons from 80 years ago while channel surfing on TV?
They might discover that there is a bigger world with amazing stuff in it!
I think this is the anniversary of my first post on this blog. I think it's gone pretty well in the past year. I've put up a lot of pictures and featured some good music. I hope everyone who has read this blog in the past year has enjoyed it. I plan to continue posting on this blog and to continue showing everyone my crappy drawings and maybe an album here and there.
That said, here is another picture. Forgive the bad resolution, it was scanned at work on our crappy scanner. It's fine for text, but not so great for pictures.
I've been wanting to show off my expensive and ridiculous hobby of collecting CDs. It's a lot of fun to listen to them, but the problem is that it becomes very difficult to give enough time to all the great music I have when I have such a crazy huge amount of it. I went through some sorting today to bring in the new purchases and I took the following pictures so that everyone can be all like: "He's crazy, why does he have so many CDs? Why not just buy MP3s from iTunes like normal people?"
