Life Without Taffy

I’ve been way behind on my scanning of found items. I have a foot tall stack in my inbox next to the computer that I need to do.

This right here is probably my favorite found note of ever. I found it like a year or so ago in a Playboy notepad that somebody opened at my previous job. Such poetry. I don’t know if I like the misspellings of young or tits better. And the heart really completes it.

See some more crap I have found here. 

A collaborative effort between me and my girlfriend on the kids menu waiting for food at the Olive Garden. Some renditions of the kids menu mascots: (left to right) Bene Breadstick (me), Ollie the Olive (me), Ricky Ravioli (kt) and Gina Grape (kt). kt also added the ninja turtles under the word find.

I worked at Wendy’s in high school. Money for comics and videogames. While it wasn’t the worst job I’ve ever had, it’s not really resume worthy. Working with a bunch of other high schoolers, the place turned into Burger World from Beavis and Butthead when the manager wasn’t around. Frying things we shouldn’t, food fights and general mischief. Somebody found the labeler and this became my nametag. I don’t remember what exactly it means, but not too much of the stuff I did around that time made any kind of sense.

See another nametag from when I worked at Kash N Karry. 

When I decided to finish a sketchbook for 2007, I had the same problem for my 2006 sketchbook: I was way behind when it came to December. That being said, I had to do a bunch of drawings in a month and several on December 31st to get it done. This is good and bad. Good as it gets me drawing a lot. Bad in that it forces me to draw, which usually isn’t good. See what exactly came out the last day of 2006 for my sketchbook here: Part One and Part Two.

Which brings us to 2007’s sketchbook ending. I had been drawing for a couple hours. I drew the Homie in the previous post. And then I drew several pictures that were damn awful (those you don’t get to see, they’re way lame trust me) Then came this first picture here. I was tired and I slammed a couple beers. I drew it and once I got out the naked picure of myself, the next three were easy. I’m starting a new sketchbook and maybe it’ll end a little better than this one.

A have a rather large collection of Homies figures I got out of the machines at various grocery stores. This tagger is my favorite.

The theme for this week’s Illustration Friday is Stitch. Any time I can draw some sort of zombie creature, I’m in. Technically this was two zombie creatures that some mad scientist type guy stitched together. I drew it in two different parts with my trusty Rapidograph pen and splashed some watercolors on them. I went into my girlfriend’s sewing kit and sewed them together, the threadwork is shoddy at best as I haven’t sewn anything since the required Home Ec class in 7th grade. I slapped it on some construction paper and there he is.

I sure looks like the problem about drawing Wolverine from a previous post is true. Him being drawn with a big head.

The first of a non-existent series. (Of course, I’ve said that before)

I started this picture with a smear of blood from a cut on my finger. It looked like hair so I built the drawing around that.
