Some times at work I have to clean off ink slabs from slobs who leave them behind...so I decided to make temporary arts out of them and snap a shot before cleaning them off completely....these drawings are around for about three minutes each... DQ

So I decided to have an art sale eventually...I hope to liquidate everything and start fresh...hopefully people buy it all....I don't have the balls for a buy it or burn it party..although that would be fun....I grabbed a moldy old painting from the garage and decided to finish it....I didn't snap shots of it at first but it was two still life paintings on one piece of masonite...combined then to

Here are some sketches I did today ...I swear I am going to get a better camera for this kind of thing..I am working on a project wherein I need to develop some kind of characters.  This is going to be some kind of graphic novel type thing maybe on one or two pages.  The idea of redrawing characters and retaining they're I.D. in different settings and angles is very humbling.  I can draw like

I really don't even like HotPockets that much....One time while kite flying I was two bites into one, ham and cheese, and I noticed that the cheese was a deep shade of green.  The thing was not just moldy, it was mold.  It was a solid mass of mold......I haven't got to enjoy the pocket since.......so now............ The Hot Dog Sandwich........with Tapatio.......m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.mm.
