Scrappy Crappy Doodle Alla Daaaaay!!

Well what ya got here, now, doodles and scratchings dictated by sheer random chance, wherever the pencil thingie lands. Mainly bad hair design, what's with vampire chicks hair? Was she wearing a cereal bowl all day?

Hadda dream about a week ago I was Meatloaf, the singer, not the dish, singing a country song at a retirement home. I kept forgetting the words, but nobody was listening anyway. The damn song got stuck in my head for days, I don't even think it exists, it was called "Charlies Divorce". It sucks having a song stuck in your head you don't know the words to, and you can't even find the words to it, beacause your brain made it up when it was supposed to be dreaming about naked wood nymphs or something.
Anyway, I made up some words just to have something for my mind to cling to.

Well, Charlie's wife decided after Twenty Years,
She'd had about enough, and threw him out on his ear,
Then she got a fancy Lawyer, and she got a P.I.
She got his former secretary on the stand to testify.

She took the House, and the Dog and the Car, of course,
No there weren't much left after Charlie's Divorce.

Gotta go to sleep soon, gettin up early, gonna put the ol' back into it, haul off, give 'er what I got sha-pwinginging.

The Man. The Music. The Maggot.

"You Humans...how did you manage to take over the planet, with your loud music, mind altering substances, homoerotic bathing, and bizarre cannibalistic sexual practices...?"

Dragon with A Goblin in his Butt, and the Joker

Self explanatory, really. The Dragon's a quick gag idea I had which I got onto a postit note, and the Joker is a pretty old drawing I found while I was looking for something else, but I think it still kinda holds up. Even if he's missing a body.

Other Simpsons!

Here's the ones Cindy and Sorcha did themselves, and the one they did of me. I think the Teeth are a lot closer on my version....

My Simpsons Avatar ( not done by me, but by their website)

I saw Dave Dick did one, then Cindy and Sorcha. I'm a big copy cat, so heres mine. The thing is, Beans has been doing these for a while himself using his own artistic prowess. So in addition to being a copy cat, I'm a cheater. Bad-ass all around , really.

I notice that I look like one of the animators standing around when they go to the Itchy and Scratchy studio. Nice to know I'm fitting the stereotype nicely.

Cheerio

Late night Moon Madness...Thought for the Day

No picture for this one. Just workin' late, feelin' mighty groggy. Decided to take a break, and watch a couple downloaded movie trailers. Caught one for a new movie about the Moon landings, and I got to thinking about all those conspiracy theories, the one where they say the whole thing was faked. Now, I'm hardly what you'd call an expert in anything that doesn't involve getting struck with anvils, so I have no intelligent opinion on space travel. But I AM a human being living in the early 21st century, so I think I'm qualified to form an opinion about THAT.

Ahem.

I think the reason we're so ready to believe the moon landings were faked is that the current crop of human human beings isn't very comfortable with the idea that humanity is capable of amazing things. If we were to believe in ourselves and in our neighbors, it would throw all our towering failings into sharp relief, and we might feel motivated to get up off our collective asses and do something about them. It's much easier (not to mention fashionable) to believe that everyone is stupid and there's no way people could do anything in the least remarkable, and therefore anything that SEEMS remarkable must be a lie. Then we can sink back into our swamp of sitcoms and salty snacks.

I'll throw this concept atcha, a conspiracy theory to rebut a conspiracy theory:

What if the "evidence" supporting a faked moon landing was actually created and circulated by the government as part of a campaign to a) prevent us from actually expecting anything out of them, and b) to keep us thinking that humanity is useless and there's no hope for the future, so that we stay nice and quiet and we won't go around Accomplishing Things that may disrupt the almighty Status Quo?

That oughtta keep the nut jobs busy. Next post, when I've gotten a bit of rest, I'll go back to the goofy drawings.

Promise.

Wizardry of Wizardrousness!

Put some colour to something I posted on the Krew blog a while back. It may even be good colour. I have no way of knowing, as my brain has turned to a syrup of some sort. Likley that fake raspberry flavor that tastes like cough medicine.

Have some Fire! I got nothin' better to do with it!

One of the guys on my crew did some animation of some stuff being juggled. One of the juggled objects was on fire, but the fire wasn't working right, so I completely re-did it.



We got the revisions, the the juggling animation had to change, and my fire became useless. Ah, well. So, on to the blog it goes!

Exciting, no?

Pain, Progress Bars, and Prestidigitation

I'll often draw while waiting for renders, more fun than watching the progress bar, but I got stuck for a subject, so I drew myself waiting for a render. It's the kind of "real life" moment that makes for Great Art.

Same thing for the post-it note drawing, there. Had a bad headache that day. Al Jaffee's done it better, but did he have a headache at the time? Huh? Possibly. Never met the man.

Also, been on a bit of a Zatanna kick lately. Not sure why, barely know anything about the character. It's probably all the backwards talking, now that's sassy!

Because Sometimes, you HAVE to post SOMETHING

Feel that?
That's what's left
Bearing down
Crow shadow
Barking mad orders
from black marble eyes.
Feel that?
That your know
Slipping out a side door
The thief that stole you
Simple, stupid.
Feel that?
Feel that?
Feel that?




Yeah, I know. But there comes a time when you have to post something cryptic and pretentious. It's in the blogging rules.

Yarg.
