your pointless blog

fuck, man. blogging is fucking hard. actually, it's not really so much that it's hard. it's more that i'm lazy and forgetful.

speaking of blogging. did you see the hair factory picture i drew? not too shabby, right? the hair totally looks like hair.

hair factory

it's been exactly a month since my last post. sorry about that. i've been working like crazy at the hair factory. seems the world didn't grind to a halt without my blog though. that hurts a little.

i think i'm getting sick

i think i'm getting sick. i'm not sure what i have. at first i thought it might be online risk withdrawal but then i played last night (i'm totally back into it by the way) and it didn't make me feel any better. plus our receptionist was sick yesterday and i know for a fact that she doesn't play online risk. so i figure it's a cold. whatever. no big deal. anyway, here's a picture that i look at whenever i'm feeling blue. or sick. ok i'm going to go lay down.

bones and skin

sometimes you find something so wonderful you can't get enough of it. it changes the world around you. colors become more vivid. everyday problems don't bother you. you are thrilled to wake up in the morning because you have found this one thing. you start thinking "hey, maybe there is a god." slowly over time however, your feelings towards this thing peak. you don't get butterflies thinking about it. it no longer brings you any joy. you are left with an empty heart. the spring leaves your step. you can't get out of bed in the morning. your world becomes a dull, grey, lonely place. well, i've been playing online risk for a week straight but today i just can't get into it. i've got a cold feeling in my gut. things may never be the same.

on the beach

it's the first day of summer! let's go to the beach. i hate the beach.

mural

this is basically a mural that i painted. it was so big that it took 15 minutes to draw and spans 3 post-it notes. also, it shows that i can't draw bear claws any better than i can draw human hands. i do like the eyes on the bear with the gun though. he's looking pretty upset.

amy heckerling

i drew this picture after i found out that amy heckerling directed "european vacation". amy heckerling, for those of you who don't know, directed "fast times at ridgemont high" which might be the best movie ever. i was shocked to find out that she also directed some really crappy movies. these crappy movies include "look who's talking" (which she also wrote), "look who's talking too" (which she also wrote too), and "a night at the roxbury". after learning these facts i rewatched "fast times" this past sunday on tbs and i realized that it's a very poorly made movie. it just happens to be really funny. actually it's not even that funny. i don't know why i like it. maybe i don't.

TEAMWORK!

mike just helped me make this blog way better. we did it by using teamwork. he did the "your pointless life" title and i did the hacking (yeah i'm pretty much a full-on hacker now. whatever. no big deal.) to repay him for all his hard work i'm going to let him be a guest art critic on my blog.

a monster and a stick: part 2

here's "a monster and a stick" with out any color. i always draw the outlines of a picture before i color it in. doing it the other way around makes no sense.

a monster and a stick

this one is called a "a monster and a stick". i drew it for two reasons:
1) monsters are easy to draw. you don't have to draw anything correctly (like hands or feet) because nobody really knows what a monster looks like. if somebody says to me "that monster's hand is all wrong" then i respond by saying "oh yeah? how would you know? i think that monster's hand is fucking dead-on. stop judging me. in fact, stop looking at my blog, you're banned for life. you can still buy a t-shirt or a mug though."
2) sticks are easy to draw. it's just a few lines. who couldn't draw a stick?

cookbook

this one pretty much speaks for itself.

24 6

this guy has been pretty excited ever since his body turned into a wheel. it must be nice rolling around like that. i even got a little jealous of the guy after i drew it so i added a bolt of lightening in the background to suggest that things aren't all well and good in his world. he's probably got some issues from his past that he's going to need to deal with at some point. as mike would say, "he's got a ton of issues and you just ordered a subscription."

picture of a kid x2

some people like art. some people like art so much that they buy it. can you believe that? this is a picture of a piece of art that someone bought and hung on their wall. when you draw a picture of a piece of art then the resulting picture becomes twice as artful. art can come in many forms. it could be a painting that you hang on your wall next to your other paintings. that's probably the most common. other forms of art include coffee mugs, t-shirts, and gender-specific t-shirts.

untitled #1

where do you think they're going? you can use your "imagination" to figure it out. maybe they're going to a party. or perhaps they're going to see a new movie starring a bunch of cars. or maybe, just maybe, they're on their way to see something so mindblowingly cool that no matter how hard you try you just can't imagine what it would be.

yciasstad

this one is called "you can't improve anything so stop trying and die." obviously. what else did you think it was going to be called? snakelady? couple things to point out. first, take a look at the guy's hands. the one in his pocket looks like i actually meant to draw it that way. it looks totally adequate. like i set out to draw a hand in a pocket and totally got that done all by myself. no teamwork needed. the other hand looks like i set out to draw a hand with a pointing finger then changed my mind and decided to draw a gun then realized i couldn't draw either one and tried to erase it by licking my finger and rubbing it on the hand/gun. well, that's exactly how it happened.

jamie anderson: cowboy

this one is called "jamie anderson: cowboy". jamie anderson was a kid that i went to high school with. he kind of looked like the guy on the left. the guy on the right is, of course, a cowboy. i did not go to high school with him.

snakelady

this one is called "snakelady". while the woman and the snake, in reality, are separate entities, in the mirror's reflection they become one. hence the "snakelady". that sounds like total b.s. but it's the truth.

p.s. don't call that phone number at the top. there's nothing good waiting at the end of the line.

fatface

here is a picture where people have their hands in the pockets due to my inability to draw hands. the picture is called "fat face". it explores the themes of kids being mean to eachother, not being able to hear what people are saying, and turtlenecks. please note that the guy in the middle has three legs. what's up with that?

dancing dog

"dancing dog". this one could be described as lacking. not my finest moment.

blood hands

here is another drawing posted on my blog. i believe it is called "blood hands". hands are very difficult to draw. i can't ever get the fingers right and more often than not i draw the right hand on the left arm and the left hand on the right arm. bloody stumps and hands in pockets are much easier to draw. i guess you could say this is a "theme" that i explore in my artwork; bloody stumps and hands in pockets. i guess you could also say that i'm an asshole.

machines

as promised i have posted not one but two pictures depicting machines. i don't know what the top machine does or if it can help someone do less work. in retrospect this probably wasn't the best picture of a machine which enables you to do less work that i could have picked. moving on to the bottom picture, if your job is to throw tennis balls at sea horses i would highly recommend that you get yourself a machine like this. it would save you a lot of work.

untitled #2

this is an example of teamwork. sort of. it's the only picture i have that comes anywhere close to being a depiction of teamwork. teamwork, as i said before, is something that i'm totally into. it reduces the amount of work that needs to be done to complete a task. i'm all for that. another thing that can reduce work (if you're not into being part of a team) are machines. i probably have pictures of machines. i'll find one and post it on my blog.

best day ever

this one is called "best day ever". it was a team effort. mike drew the naked man and i drew the background. teamwork is something that i think is pretty great. it basically allows everyone on the team do less work to achieve a common goal. if you could get a big enough team together (i'm talking millions here) then nobody would have to do any work. that's why teamwork is pretty great. another thing that i think is pretty great is this picture.

all-state

i played football in high school. no i didn't.

this one sucks. it's probably called firehands.

"a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step." think about it. it's true. especially if you're traveling on...glory road. that's the title of this picture.
i hate the beach.

i drew a zombie!

dog thrower

he's a dog thrower. he throws dogs all day. give him a break.

credit card


this is a picture of mike in 5 years.
this one doesn't have a name. the two guys used to be saying stuff to eachother but i got rid of that. i think it's better this way.

this one is called st. bernard vacuuming. it won a prestigious award and was printed on mugs and greeting cards. this one is the best. you should probably buy it.
