average day 2

2011-03-02T02:24:00.000-08:00

I guess I have a couple of these stupid things.

average day

2011-02-25T02:26:00.000-08:00

I remembered that I kind of like pixel art, and I kind of suck at it.
I am so lazy, I don't even remember if I finished this one.

lazy newyear comic

2011-01-02T22:38:00.000-08:00

wrote it on new years, about watching t.v. on new years.
it was really funny at the time.

new years stupid comics

2011-01-01T00:46:00.001-08:00

Captcha comics are funny, so I made some really lazy ones:

Which also serve as a "before and after" illustration of owning my own drawing tablet.

This is just the first thing I could think of. Don't go looking for a deeper "joke" to "get".
They're just stupid.

more cupcakes

2010-10-30T01:10:00.000-07:00

I can't tell if any part of this worked at all.

Except for the cupcakes part, I ate one, and it was a good cupcake.

shiny new computer

2009-12-27T23:58:00.000-08:00

There's nothing quite like receiving a pristine clean canvas, and immediately delving into old habits. Just now, I've gotten a brand new laptop (the outside of which isn't actually shiny, but shows fingerprint and grease really well) and I'm trying to hold off just a little bit on jumping back into following 50 or so webcomics (an understatement if anything) and lounging about questionable websites into the morning (according to multiple sources with font colors that change mid sentence, I should get me some quarts crystals, because they fix pretty much everything. Or maybe some jasper, which is allegedly good for concentration).

This, posting here, isn't an old habit, but maybe I'll make it one.

What have I been doing all this time? Mostly crocheting like a maniac. I learned to knit too (a comforting sign that my mind has not in a complete state of atrophy) but that's more recent, and I've had less time to be maniacal about it.

That's an animated gif. Does it work? It looks like it's working. I want to post a thousand of those.

...It also looks like they are in the wrong order. Darnit if I still haven't figured out

lights

2009-07-31T23:50:00.000-07:00

Another true story of driving with my dad.

t-shirts

2009-07-23T01:10:00.000-07:00

This idea was just sort of in my head a few days. The first two I know have been done, the rest too probably.

I started another comic or two, and might actually post them.

birthday

2009-06-21T21:10:00.000-07:00

Hey, 42nd post.I haven't yet learned to arrange pictures on here without losing my mind. I can also never remember how long these things take.

Cannot think of a title for this series

2009-06-18T19:00:00.000-07:00

Continuation from last week, maybe I'll manage to keep going.

anyone

2009-06-12T02:39:00.000-07:00

Well, here's this thing, after month after month of disappointment, which I do apologize for. And I'll leave things at that to keep from allowing last minute anxieties convincing me to erase everything.

might be trying some hourly comics maybe

2009-01-25T13:59:00.000-08:00

Not very good, but maybe worth the practice.

Things could be worse

2009-01-24T15:10:00.000-08:00

The picture didn't come out very good. The last panel is supposed to be a swarm of bees lifting up a key rock.

On the plus side, I have an actual photo editing program instead of half of one now.

November?

2008-12-16T01:55:00.000-08:00

Where did November go? I do not even know.
I mean, I'm pretty sure we had one. My room mate and I made this owl out leaves for our door.
I'm trying to put together an actual comic wubsight, which is sort of slow going when one does not understand computers, but might result in me actually making some comics.

A story about a pumpkin

2008-11-12T00:24:00.000-08:00

Halloween ended with a left over pumpkin so:

door

2008-10-27T15:03:00.000-07:00

I was busy insulating my brain to protect it from entirely too much politics news (but I did vote, and researched stuff and everything) and haven't drawn anything.
Instead, here is my door decorated for Holloween:

Hallway's kind of narrow, and had to stand to one side to get a good picture.

I don't like wind

2008-10-16T12:35:00.000-07:00

I meant to draw another comic before this one, but in case I forgot to do that, here's this one.

shading

2008-10-09T12:48:00.000-07:00

I think I did this to show off my shading abilities. The weekend was spent with family, which takes a while to recover from, or I would have more to post.

Now updating on thursdays, mossibly

2008-10-02T22:12:00.000-07:00

I haven't tried this on a large scale, but it works in theory.

...

2008-09-29T14:34:00.000-07:00

I spent the weekend getting sunburned, and my camera batteries died, so instead of a comic, here is a picture I took walking back from a dollar store shopping spree. I bought forks and canned juice.

Short Pants

2008-09-21T16:26:00.000-07:00

(Again, click on the picture to see it full sized. Then comment and tell me what you think of it)

We all have our sensitivities.

There's a certain way people look at you when you do something like ask for help getting a book on the top shelf.

Surely I'm not the only one to have noticed.

Crazy things my dad said Part 2

2008-09-06T14:58:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what this was about. Usually my dad is going on about how cute baby horses are. We were watching a documentary on, I think, Icelandic horses.

Crazy things my dad said Part 1

2008-09-06T14:41:00.000-07:00

Here, my dad is trying to be funny (I think). He gets kind of cranky on long road trips.

Dance

2008-08-30T21:49:00.000-07:00

I went to a dance Friday. I didn't actually do this, but I was thinking it.

new etch-a-sketches

2008-08-24T21:41:00.000-07:00

I didn't know they still made travel sized ones.

And here is a little doodle about how I am feeling.

It is it by my purple-ish rope light that I hung up under my dorm room bed (darn reflection)

bees.

2008-07-27T14:21:00.000-07:00

It says "SAVE The Bees! smash your cellphone", because, y'know, death rays from cellphones might be hurting bees. Bees are important.

bees bees bees bees

I sincerely apologize, my loyal readers.

2008-07-19T16:40:00.000-07:00

I've just kind of always wondered what it would be like to have a mustache.

Jelly

2008-04-02T23:40:00.000-07:00

Quick little scribble

high quality stuff

2008-04-02T01:19:00.000-07:00

I thought I had a picture of my completed project, with the picture frame backs making them stand up and all of that. Only I do not seem to have that.
Do you think maybe it was a bad idea to fill my only permanent food container with aluminum dust?
The only warning on the back is about how it will stain clothes, and itlooks like every todler would eat about 5lbs of the stuff, so I'm assuming it won't kill me.
This is a turtle I drew. The picture didn't come out very well because my closet was too dark.

and.. um...

Cupcakes!

I'm probably not joking...

2008-03-31T23:56:00.000-07:00

Here's a little project I'm making a disaster out of:
Working from a picture I took last spring:

I left my feet in this picture for reasons I don't remember.My idea was to have the butterfly little, on the leaf on the left, and then have a close up of it:
Unplanned was to drop it.

So I had to redraw it:

Now I'm trying to pour out the aluminum powder, and glue the backs of picture frames to them, so they stand up. I'm starting to think maybe it was a bad idea.

monthly, weekly udates, maybe

2008-03-30T23:15:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try and make up for nearly a month of absence, by posting something everyday this week.

This didn't really work, but I still sort of like it.

eesh, do I ever need to get hold of a tripod.

I am doing everything wrong, I'm sure.

2008-03-01T01:28:00.000-08:00

Does it need more "show who's talking" lines?

that was more than a week

2008-02-28T18:50:00.000-08:00

sorry to disapoint

2008-02-18T18:56:00.000-08:00

Guys, I'm taking this week off.

True story

2008-02-16T01:38:00.000-08:00

This is how nothing gets done by me ever.

anything

2008-02-13T23:41:00.000-08:00

Only I am dealing with things.

Sort of.

Almost.

As soon as I finish my book.

I might just take a stab at plot in a while here

2008-02-11T23:48:00.000-08:00

Over a month, and not one angry comment. I must be doing something wrong.

Midget Martian Yeti

2008-02-08T23:02:00.000-08:00

I might get to some actual content eventually.

How does a week of requests sound?

Anybody?

Squids fighting with Robots

2008-02-06T23:14:00.000-08:00

I am not actually sure I will remember to do this again.

meh

2008-02-04T22:56:00.000-08:00

My sister does this.

I did an hourly comic

2008-02-02T13:05:00.000-08:00

You can see it =here=

It is not very good. I will blame that on using power point to put the captions in, instead of bothering to find a real photo-edi-whatever program.

Anybody in there?

2008-01-30T23:19:00.000-08:00

Chaos Theory

2008-01-28T23:06:00.000-08:00

A butterfly flaps its wings

then you get stabbed in the face.

By "weekly" updates I meant Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

Weekly up dates, Can I do it?

2008-01-25T23:27:00.000-08:00

Does anyone care?! Leave me comments,
and tune in next week to find out!

new animation

2008-01-19T15:06:00.000-08:00

Click it!

Leave me some coments or something if you are out there.

Gettin' to the fun stuff

2007-12-22T12:56:00.000-08:00

Go ahead and click on this:

ok, people around the xkcd forum are pretty cool.

It's supposed to look as tho' the heart is beating, and the sound waves or what not are radiating outward. Does it work?

2007-12-21T17:40:00.000-08:00

Here is some even older stuff.

As you can see by the tendency towards right angles, my skills were less developed. (I do not know why that picture is blurry.

Here is a winged girl, with really big sleeves.

Also, a winged heart. Wings are fun to draw. I think the background is some clouds over a hill or something.

I tried doing a short animation of a beating heart. However, the only program I had was powerpoint, and the results were dissapointing.

alright, posting stuff.

2007-12-18T22:59:00.000-08:00

Here are some things I did before starting this blog. All of them have since been erased.
I think this is one of the oldest. Also highly relevant to the name of the blog. The details might be a little difficult so allow me to explain that the squid is on the left, and the robot is on the right. Both are holding laser guns.

Anyone with Ideas on how to take pictures of these things is more that welcome to share.

Apologies for the bad picture here. It was hanging on a door, and therefore difficult to adequately align the camera. If you squint, you might be able to make out a rose surrounded by space stuff. It was pretty dang cool looking.

Here we see an attempt at making a comic.

I don't even remember what I was trying to say. It was more a test run of the process. Which has yet to go anywhere.

Here I theorized what having drinks with an octopus on a space ship would be like. I stole the octopus from somewhere. I apologize to from whomever that was.

The fishy, however is original.

(also, sorry for not having got this format figured out yet. I'm kind of slow that way)

Hello there

2007-11-18T21:42:00.000-08:00

I'm just starting out on making something in the way of an art blog.

There will be more of this stuff, as well as robots and squids in epic space battles in the near future.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see.
