Random Art: Stuff to Not Wake Up and See #2 (Collect ’em All)

Posted on September 7, 2013 by geelw

I was actually going to post this one later in the week, but what the hey. I’m in a good mood today or something like that. Actually, I’m making progress in reworking the bunch of stuff I lost on that USB drive, so I guess this is a happy face (sings: “Put on a happy faaaaaaace!”). Yeah, OK. Let me stop here before your eardrums fall out and/or someone mails me a puppy or something. Don’t so that, by the way. Animlas seem to like me, but I have eye allergies that act up something awful around most animals with hair (and some people, too).

Hey, I’m a happy guy, really I am! I think this piece is incomplete anyway, as it’s part of an older drawing I clipped out and blew up on my scanner before dinking around with it in a few paint programs. Enjoy (I guess)… and pleasant dreams!

Brain Food: A Little Writing Exercise…

Posted on September 7, 2013 by geelw

Ho-kay. The story behind this particular post is twofold. One: I’m part of a recently created Facebook (eek) group called The Write Now and this was Writing Prompt 5: “Now, you’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here…”, and as you’ll see, I had no idea either…

Anyway, I think this took about 15 minutes to write and it was about 4:30 or so in the morning when I did this. Yeah, I should have been asleep, but I was up and doing some research for an article and a bit on the half asleep side when Old Nick posted that prompt. That’s why the letters don’t “speak” more in words starting with them. I didn’t roll that in until… well, you’ll see soon enough.

Two: I misplaced a portable drive with a bunch of stuff I was working on, so I’m buying myself some time by posting random quickies while I poke around for that darn thing. I REALLY hate rewriting stuff (oh, you don’t know how much, but it’s quite a great deal of dislike), so if I don’t find it, I get to do a lot of internal grouching while I go into recovery mode and try to come up with stuff that reads the same as it’s supposed to.

Pull up a seat, as it’s kind of long and silly…

Random Art: Stuff to Not Wake Up and See #1 (Collect ’em All!)

Posted on September 7, 2013 by geelw

Yeah, everyone has bad dreams, but you do wake up and usually things are back to some semblance of normalcy. On the other hand, you could be drifting out of dreamland and as your eyeballs are creeping open to catch that alarm clock a minute before it goes off, you see this mug staring into your mug. Feel free to swing a fist, pillow, pet or if you find it somewhat cute, give a big friendly hug. The surprise of any of the former actions will usually cause it to faint (a bit melodramatically, with a loud squeak and probably some gassy action), allowing you to make good your escape.

(OK, it’s just a portion of an old sketch I blew up and tinkered with in a paint program before making up a quick story behind the image. Just killing some time while downloading some files, folks…)
