Optimism with MS Paint: Leprechauns and Unicorns

I'm such a happy person.

Optimism with MS Paint: Balls

I'm not sure I really grasped the concept of shadows in 2006.

Optimism with MS Paint: Games

Actually, I like playing games. Monopoly, Clue, Guess Who?, Connect Four, Parcheesi, Yahtzee...

Optimism with MS Paint: Snakes and Tea

I'm not even entirely certain what I mean by this. But I do know I went through a period in 2006 where the best way to vocalize my frustrations was via (sometimes not so passive) aggressive MS Paint drawings.

Self portrait, 2007

This is one of my favorite pictures of my brother, Dick, and I. It's a self portrait that was taken in late 2007, right before he went into the army. I added a little bit of blue color to it, but the picture already had a funky feel to it from the fluorescent lighting.

This is such a cool idea to be able to list treasuries from Etsy like this! I made this one about some really cool cat items I've found, and after seeing the posts from MelJoy Creations, I figured I'd give it a shot. Are there any treasuries you've made, been featured in or just enjoy in general?

Figure illustration drawing

Even though this is more of a sketch than a drawing, I enjoy how this turned out. But then, I enjoy any excuse to pull out my Prismacolor pencils!

Grace Is Photogenic

I was having fun with Gracie May and came up with a bunch of ridiculous shots that, on their own, probably wouldn't have looked too great. But with their powers combined...

...it shows I have one goofy cat.

DO IT. Or, don't.

OMG I can't waaaaaaaait

Stevie is returning to Michigan in a couple weeks so she can see the sights, visit the people and photograph me having a nose bleed in a Barnes & Nobles bathroom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANDAS

Not the face of hockey

            It’s sad to see the rioting in Vancouver.

            It’s sad because it’s global news and, damn, what an embarrassment.

            It’s sad because the same thing happened in 1994.

            It’s sad because Vancouver has never won a Stanley Cup under the Canuck franchise and all people have to say about it is, “Over a hockey game?” In reality, this was less about hockey and more about angry drunks using a Game 7 loss as an excuse to wreck mayhem and destroy some cop cars. I’m sure Vancouver is actually a lovely place.

            This is not the face of hockey.
