Gotta go fart!

Have you seen the Dumb Running Sonic tumblr? It’s my new favorite meme. So favorite that I decided to make my own Dumb Sonic. My first ever animated gif!   I used a pretty neato iPad app called Animation Desk. It doesn’t automatically export animations to .gif format – that requires some minor tweaking in [...]

H.P. Sauce

My interpretation of Lovecraftian monsters based on what I know of Lovecraft: practically nothing.

And more still!

Drawing from life this time, which I don’t do often, but should.

More from the sketchbook

Just some stuff I doodled while waiting around, or sitting on the train, or something. It’s actually kind of hard to doodle on the train. Not sure when the dates are on these.

Practice!

I have been trying to establish doodling as a daily habit. Some of the things I’ve done in the last week or so: Babbys, and half a preschooler. A hipster couch. I still find inappropriately steampunked objects disproportionately amusing. I need to practice backgrounds. I hate drawing them, but I love seeing them well-done. I [...]

Semi Tough Ladyz 4ever

It’s probably not a great sign that after six months of blogging about drawing, my best stuff is still done in 10 seconds on the whiteboard. I appreciate the wonky trompe-l’oeil effect on this women’s Bad Boy shirt. “Appreciate” meaning “recognize,” not necessarily “like.” I’m working on a second blog with a different theme which [...]

Revenge of the vengeance

Skerple Friday: Crab, why do you skerp?

There’s like two feet of snow here, and it’s probably going to be hanging around and growing increasingly grungy until mid-March. I hate winter. So I decided to draw a beach scene. Except… Crabs, what are you doing?! Why do you smoke? You’re crabs! And you’re polluting the air and the beach! I doodled a [...]

A Very Bravest Christmas

Santa brought Blat a fire truck! This is the best Christmas ever! I hope you have, had, are having, or will have a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year, Solstice, Boxing Day, Toyotathon, or whatever you celebrate. Even that Seinfeld holiday, though I dislike Seinfeld. And thank you, thank you, thank you for reading Bravest [...]

Monster mash

Because ’tis the season, here’s a special holiday comic: I didn’t specify which holiday. I drew this pretty hastily around Halloween, when our computers got stolen and I couldn’t scan it. I like it enough to share off-season. The thing about comics that I’ve discovered since starting this blog is that it can be a [...]
