Sample the Web

Flickr finally made it where you can embed slideshows and where videos can be part of slideshows. It’s close to 10 minutes long, but this slideshow of my 2008 sketchbook where I’ve been keeping all my doodles looks pretty cool largely because of the animated DS sketches that are mixed in with all the still [...]

What do you think this guy’s story is?
I think his mouth is open in awe after hearing that McCain chose Sarah Palin (*) as his running mate. More baffled reactions here…
Actually, after looking at the drawing some more, it looks like he’s offering up a disinterested yawn, which very much mirrors my own reaction to [...]

Here’s a quick sketch on my new tablet using Art Rage 2.5:

The screen is both touch sensitive as well as Wacom pen-savvy, but the touch sensitivity turns off when the pen gets near, so you can actually rest your hand on the screen while drawing, which is nice. You can also simply turn off the [...]

Just testing uploading to Amazon S3 using WordPress’s built-in upload tools and this Amazon S3 plugin for WordPress. I’m debating mirroring my Flickr account on S3, so that my images will still be in the cloud, but more under my control.
Of course, I should probably build a tagging system of some sort first…

Here’s the early sketch:

Here it is a little later (this version is on ’skine.art, too):

And then tonight, I added ink:

Yesterday, I posted the middle one as a comic on Screaming Tongue, but I’m warning you now, it’s not funny.
Update: Once more with feeling:

So, I’m liking this character. Lon says it’s a tumor, but I’m pretty sure it’s a tongue. A screaming tongue. Now to think about what type of things a screaming tongue thinks and screams about and I can whip up an actual web-comic.
Also, I need a scanner.
Update: In the comments, Lon points out that he [...]

I started this one out by drawing the small, teeny little guy who is sticking out of the side of the big guy’s head. What’s going on here? Tell me in the comments.
Also, I’ve decided to try to make a webcomic out of some of these doodles. Here’s the first panel of the first experimental [...]

What’s his story? Tell me in the comments.

Drew this last night:

What’s his story? Tell me in the comments. One of the people who saw the last daily doodle said that it looked like a screaming tongue, so since this one is in the same vein, maybe it’s a hairy screaming tongue?

I sketched this guy last night before bed. I have no idea what he’s supposed to be. I started with the wide open mouth, then the eyes, the nostrils, then drew his general shape, the bed, then the room and lastly the arms. Name him and tell me his story either by sending me a [...]

So they’ve not been daily or regular, but here’s another one from yesterday

This one kind of breaks the Daily Doodle rule, as I drew it while I was visiting my parents in Mississippi over the weekend. 3 days worth of scratching pens on paper.

I colored it in tonight:

Originally, it was going to be all black silhouette, but the brush marker started to run out of black, so I made the hair area brown and the shirt gray and then I added the green swirlies.

Inspired by Daily Monster and as a move to get me drawing more actively, more regularly, and to alleviate my stress levels, I’m going to start drawing a daily doodle, every day, when I first sit down to my desk at work. Today is a random contour of some random guy. Some days it will [...]
