Filled this in for comparison. Same light and such when taking the picture. The black adds so much darkness. It's interesting methinks

i have a comment for this one!!!

so! recently i was a training... 8 hours a day, for 4 days. awesomeness. this is the only thing i drew. its a tiny/ugly little bugger to. which i think speaks a lot to the quality if the training. our trainer was epic. lots of visual aids, physical movement, intense examples etc. it wasnt hard to pay attention to him. so, yah. good stuff.

.

its odd, i really really want to say something about the drawing, but try as i might, it seems impossible. ive nothing to say. its weird. there it is.

corrosive meetings

this one should be somewhat shocking in comparison to all the rest. its meant to scream "i hate this, i hate being here, i hate how everyone seems so incapable of working consistently for a single cause outside their own agenda"

it doesnt scream that to you? does to me.

the meeting was so horrid that the design i started with grew into an actual picture of something... fabulous...

little buddies

this one is by Tenzin. he drew it while listening to Shiloh tell a story. when Lilli saw it she said "that looks like one of daddy's drawings!"

yup, pretty much.

I scratched this out on a post it back in November of 2009.I dont remember the specific context of this one. However, just from how it is put together I know I drew it at a fairly low/dark point. I'm not much for random lines/strokes etc. Scribbles terrify me, especially scribbles in ink. Yet here this is. Self portrait. The shapes were obviously drawn first.

I rarely doodle intentionally, so the shape sets must have come from a phone conversation. I'd say 2 different conversations. The resulting scribbled image likely after the phone calls, all in one quick sitting.

Anyway. I like it. I illustrates me at consistently varying points . I've used it as an avatar on various applications.

This second picture I pulled out of photoshop just a few moments ago. From import to export, I'd say 5 minutes or so went into this. So a similar method applied digitally. Frantic and frustrated. I hit my year mark yesterday. Since starting here, I've always said "I'll reevaluate whether or not I'll stay at my year mark." This often said in regards to the frustratingly slow progress I feel we're making here. Then that in relation to my reliance on this job due to my lack of education. Bleh. So. This.

Forgot two...

Dialogue wise, I feel like I've got nothing. Unfortunately my memory is all sorts of horrid, and I drew these outside it's range. Not sure what all I was thinking/dealing with etc. what I do know is how much i hate the little "hello!" guy. Keep looking, you'll find him. Right when I drew those horrid circles, about a tenth of the way through, I knew I had created a demon that would haunt me every time I looked at it. I tried to cover it up, but what has been seen cannot be unseen. And It went against my self imposed limits to just toss the paper.

I guess that's something unique to talk about. I have this little rule that once I start, I have to finish that piece. Not all in one sitting, but no matter how horrid it's turning out I have to keep adding and hiding errors until the whole page is filled or it feels finished. The majority of these pieces have some sort of large flaw/error that I hid and worked into it. I guess that's the method. Draw one line, find the flaw, hide it with another line. Rinse and repeat until finished.
