Do what you want...

...'cause a pirate is free!



Also, a hand.



But you would rather look at the pirate.

Yeargh!

I doodled some pirates today. Probably my first drawings since August, sadly. :(

On the Go with Van Gogh in Western New York

We won first place at the Lewiston Chalk Walk!












Our reference image, cobbled together in Photoshop:




Some of the competition:

The Pirate Hunter

Not very satisfied with this one. :(

The Nuclear Family

I'm so punny.

A series of tubes!

Ted Stevens is such a crazy old man.

Disestablishment?

Only the shadow knows.

Stupid dictators and their image shacks...

I hate photographing artwork. If I use a flash, the colors and contrasts get screwed up, even if there's no reflection (unlikely). If I don't use a flash, the picture is blurry because the shutter speed needs to be slow enough to compensate for artificial lighting. Oh, yeah, lighting. Lighting is my worst enemy. It also screws up values in the picture.

Anyway, here's one for the road:



I mentioned Imageshack, too. The stupid web app can't figure out how to place a picture in my gallery after I upload it, so I have to wait ten minutes to get the thumbnail URL. ARRRGH!

Crystalized

The entire Northeast (and, I hear, the lower Mid-west) is coated in ice, making for some nice scenery.

Seeing is believing

Done. The photo really sucks, so you'll have to REALLY use your imagination this time.



EDIT:
Here's a version with slightly better colors:

It sees more...

"More," of course, refers to the new HIGH-CONTRAST SKYLINE!



The photograph sucks, so use your imagination. Wakka.

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

Inspired by a wonderful line from Modest Mouse. This is not a new sketch.

Pure Fiction

Here we have a map. I beg you use it wisely, for the treasure shows itself only to the most worthy!

Cackle cackle cackle cough.

See?

You don't see, but THE EYE DOES!

This is a work in progress. If you don't like it, tough. You'll just have to do without.
