Productivity?

I've been telling people that being ADD and unemployed is a mixed bag. I start 57 projects a day-- which sounds hella productive unless anyone asks the natural follow-up question, "How many did you finish."

One of the things I have been working on are comics. A lot of dialogue has been written, but I've been kind of slack in the drawing department (which is a pretty crucial component in comics).

Right now it's just a couple of stacks of sketches (most of which are just a testament to my wildly unfocused mind). Now that I have a scanner, however, I think I can get to work completing some comics. I think that I'm going to post the comics to my blog as I finish them.

Until then, here are some detail scans of some of my sketches.

(The first one is my dog being carried away by balloons).

This guy totally stole my idea...

There is sometimes a day where I sleep in and then I just mosey about eating cereal straight out of the box. There is some hardcore TV watching followed by me catching up on my comics.

Maybe after that-- a nap.

It is usually on days like these where I read about articles like this.

Motoi Yamamoto arranges giant labyrinths made entirely out of salt and they are beautiful. Yamamoto created the installation over the course of five days. He patiently worked backwards until the piece was finished.

The finished product is totally badass-- or as they say in the art world: stunning.

Prudes.

These labyrinths that he creates are just really amazing. You can't help but be inspired.

There is a balance to the universe, though. In order for people like Yamamoto to have the dedication and patience to create these mazes-- there have to be people like me in the world.

People who wake up at 11am and then scroll through the Huffington Post for two hours whilst snacking on leftovers and granola bars.

Just know that when Yamamoto is taking a break-- I am being crazy diligent.

Unnervingly dedicated... to... stuff.



Check out Yamamoto's website. There is a blog, pictures of previous projects, and videos of him creating the mazes. It is awesome.

Hipster Ariel is so over the sea

Mandy loves all things Disney.

So, when I found "Hipster Ariel", I was overjoyed.

Combining Ariel's love of humanity with a hipster's disdain for everything just creates such a hilarious panel.

Basically, I like to take things Mandy loves and corrupt them.
