Wasting time

Melissa Leeanne — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:42:05 +0000

Instead of creating real art, I’ve been expending a lot of creative energy at my new(ish) job and, even more recently, I decided to participate in one of my guilty pleasures: Photoplasty on Cracked.com.

Without paying attention to the 550 pixel or die thing, I ended up making this masterpiece of time sucking, then I had to shrink it down and it wasn’t terribly readable. It didn’t get picked up, but it took me enough time that I didn’t want it to go completely to waste.

Since this is my place to dump every creative or ridiculous endeavor of a visual nature, here you go!

Technicolor Contemplations

These were drawn earlier this year when, ironically, I loved my job(s). A bit more than a month later I was laid off and that’s when stuff got actually lame. I’m just about ready to start a new job, which should be pretty great. These were hand drawn with colored pencil. Special note: The dress in the last drawing was decorated in part by an adorable and sweet student, age 9.

And if I rhyme, grab me a noose, for turning into Doctor Seuss. Shit. Maybe I can write children’s books if I can quit swearing so much.

Example two of what happens when I am super bored. Now, will I get to the point of having some level of consistency in thoughts or ideas expressed? Find out tomorrow, but don’t expect consistency to coincide with sanity.

Doodlemania: Beispiel eins

What is the best way to boost one’s creativity and motivation to produce artwork? Have everything else be super boring. This is example one of what happens when I’m in a tedious meeting.

A Colorful Cast

Apparently people smoke crack on pennies. I guess if you don’t care about your body to the extent that you smoke crack then you don’t care that, as our mothers always told us, money is dirty. We keep finding crack pennies around the hotel and bar so we think that the crack fiend is also most likely the thief. I am serious, I’m a great judge of character. If I don’t like someone, fire them. Meanwhile, I need to get more intimidating so that kicking people out of the bar is easier.

Monday’s comic. On Tuesday.

This comic had so much potential, but I got interrupted by that pesky paid employment and finished this in the wee hours of the morning with sleep tugging at my motor skills. Damn you sleepiness!
