I bought a sketchbook a few days ago and I've already filled about 20% of it.
Some highlights:

I'm not so sure I'd like that guy.

Otherwise, this sketchbook ROCKS!

Are you talking about the last image?
Diane Arbus was a photographer who photographed, in her own words, "freaks". This kid was in Central Park walking around with a toy hand grenade.

no no no no no.....the jellyfish you drew with the caption "I think you'd like this guy..."

the picture I am familar with.

Oh... sorry. I kinda feel like a jerk, then.
Haha... yeah, I think the statements on that page may or may not be misleading. It's a conceptual page about trust, acceptance, tolerance, and preconceived ideas about people, carnivorous dinosaurs, and jellyfish.

Some of those are crying out to become Threadless t-shirts. Especially "I don't like any of you" and "You'd like this guy."

firework_kid October 25 2007, 01:46:23 UTC

Haha, I'll get on that. Or I could make one just for you.

;)

There's nothing like that 'new sketchbook' smell. Well, except for dirty panties. Whoops, sorry, just typing out loud.

firework_kid October 25 2007, 01:47:01 UTC

I've never smelled mine?
My dirty panties that is.

Some of the illustrations remind me of the nut & bee designs:

wanna do a sketch/doodle trade?
This rainy weather always make me draw more than usual

firework_kid October 25 2007, 02:01:06 UTC

Huh, they kinda do. I think it's a general style that I'm into and I've kinda gleaned aspects of from other people.

I'd love to.
I've definitely been drawing way more than usual and, strangely, I think it's because of this new sketchbook. The thing is smaller than my usual ones, so I guess it's less intimidating.

foxtorrent October 25 2007, 03:28:28 UTC

mmk, send me trade ideas/topics to my email address: Wolkenstreit@aol.com

ugh so awesome

firework_kid October 25 2007, 13:23:37 UTC

Heeeeey thanks.
(Haven't seen any bean people lately. Eh? Eh?)

anditgoeslike October 25 2007, 15:09:07 UTC

Haha, that was a phase. I was only using the people to express suppressed emotions. Now I have other more sophisticated mediums. Like finger paintings.

firework_kid October 25 2007, 15:48:30 UTC

I used to try and draw other people to represent me and what I felt, but I've recently given in to the narcissism of drawing myself constantly.
