Whale Boy

Yesterday I decided to draw Patrick Morgan's Whale Boy from memory. It turned out ok. Looking back at his site I realized that he does not have a tale and I missed the zipper. Oh well, it was fun to draw.

To the Moon

Drew this guy last night. For some reason I had rockets on the brain.

The Monster

Well, Halloween is tomorrow and one of the frequently portrayed characters is this guy. But, what do we call him. You and perhaps everyone you know will call him by the name Frankenstein and all would in fact be wrong. In Mary Shelly's book Frankenstein he is called the monster, the demon and even the devil but never Frankenstein. Frankenstein is in fact the man who created the monster. So when you say you are going to be Frankenstein for Halloween, next time dress up in a lab coat, wear a surgeons mask, don't eat, act real schizy and if you want a bit of Hollywood start yelling "it's alive"! You will confuse your friends but you will honor a fantastic piece of literature.

Day 15

Today in my staff meeting we had two guest speakers. One came from computer support to talk about preventing the spread of viruses through safe web browsing and the other came to answer questions about the rapidly spreading "swine" flu (H1N1). The IT guy informed us that the majority of virus attacks on campus are started through the use of applications, ads and games on facebook. So, I got this thought, what if facebook was the primary transmitter of human viruses. That would mean that facebook is responsible for the proliferation of H1N1 and the only hope was an injection of McAfee or total abstinence from facebook. I think I like the idea of the later. The drawing is nothing to speak of but the thought made laugh inside.

Day 14

Tonight my wife and I came home, after dinner and a game at our friends' house, and found and army of wasps hanging out in a corner on our front porch. So, I grabbed a fly swatter and some wasp spray and went to town. That spray is amazing. One solid hit and over 100 hundred wasps hit the ground dead.

Day 13

These week's theme is draw your pets as people. So, this evening I did a quick sketch of my dog Hank. This came shortly after watching him pounding his nose into the bottom of his bowel while vacuuming up two cups of food so fast that he nearly choked on the bottle-necked lump of kibble being rammed down his throat. I have often wondered what would happen if I tipped over our 100 pounds trash can of dog food and just let him at it. This picture is what I envision that looking like.
