  • Self(ie)-indulgent project

    So, I’m a guy who needs a project. I started one at the beginning of the year – The Thursday Morning Movie – but the work to personal satisfaction ratio is poor. I’ll finish the year as planned, but I don’t think it will continue beyond that.

    So, I need a new thing that feels more creative and less job-like. The plan: self-portraits. I’m going to shoot for one a day. I like drawing myself because 1) I’m always around when I need me and 2) I won’t offend anyone if they look like crap.

    And a lot of them are going to look like crap. I have no formal art training, and I haven’t done any regular drawing for at least a decade.

    So with that in mind, please enjoy what I’m calling “Gotta Start Somewhere.”

    A black and white line drawing of my head.

    Tiny head! Anime eyes! Glasses like Brains from Thunderbirds!

    Brains from Thunderbirds. All smart people wear glasses.

    Bonus: If I actually remember to post these when I make them, this blog won’t be comatose! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
