Against a drab background

The image size limits on Blogger are really getting to be a thorn in my side. Here's a hotlink to the full image on my DeviantArt account which I have for some reason.

Kanaya: Mental breakdown.

It's getting to that point in the year when I don't seem to draw very much. Or... even less. To tide you over, here's a joke that will only make sense if you read Homestuck, and will still seem kind of trite and obvious in that case.

Nor the years condemn

(This is an old one - November 1999, or thereabouts.)

No, Grover. You are the monsters.

The deleted original ending to The Monster At The End Of This Book:(The likelihood that someone has already done this joke is so great that I'm not even going to go and check.)

Don't spend it all in one place

Occasionally you would be prompted to draw anything you like, in order to start a new chain of drawings. These are some of the things I drew. None of them got a response from any other user, and were thus forgotten forever. I cannot account for why this should be.

Chicka-ba goom wap mace?

I've not been doing any proper drawing but have recently spent some time on Doodle Or Die. This is a web site where one person draws something, the next person tries to describe it, another person tries to draw that, and so on and so forth until somebody draws something racist (because THE INTERNET, that's why).

I felt like preserving some of my doodles for posterity (let's face it, if I don't then nobody will.) The text shows what I had been prompted to draw in each case.

The All-Seeing-Eye stares darkly at our friend, The Lone Indian, while he paddles in his canoe through the bleak and desolate sea.

Weeaboo!

Sorry for stealing your shirt bro, I didn't know you had that problem with your body.

Lazy 4chan meme

And they'll crucify you and then they'll say 'good luck'

This is closer to my original intention. Except for the A Softer World vibe; I'm not quite sure where that came from.

Guest post: something about pans?

My friend David recently completed an intensive 4-week TEFL course. He passed the course, but unfortunately in the process his mind went. The tragic consequences are shown here below.

Largley untranscribable

In the absence of anything more substantial, here is a doodle from a recent meeting. It is Doug Rattmann, from the annoyingly-retconned story of Portal.

Injuries I Have Narrowly Avoided, episode four

Venue: Beeston, 1st January 2006.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Once an artist has mastered the forms of their chosen medium, he or she becomes free to subvert them by producing work that, viewed out of context, would appear objectively to fail on a technical level. It's just a shame I haven't reached that point, because it'd make it a lot easier to get away with stuff like this.

No-one knows these things but me and him

I want to discredit this trope. Is it really just me? Nobody does this.

Seriously, how many times had they already searched that farmhouse?

No good or bad deed

To devotees of both Mr Show and MS Paint Adventures: this one's for you.

To everyone (else): please move along.

Awareness of one's own limitations

Reckless deployment of spoilers

You should probably watch the first series of The Wire before reading this. I mean, you should probably watch the first series of The Wire even if you're not going to read this (that's actually a better idea.)
(Also, you should probably grow up in the UK, Australia, Holland, Poland, Brazil, South Africa, Portugal or Spain before having read this.)

The soul of brevity

Not pictured: universal critical indifference

Told you I'd do it and I did it too.

Normal service will resume.

FUN FACT: I was convinced I'd already uploaded this last year, but apparently not? END OF FUN FACT.
