CHRISTMAS TIME

Arrgh! I had a wonderful idea for a Christmas post...I'm up visiting my family in Tahoe, and I wanted to post all these photos of the nice snow and everything...unfortunately though, I'm a tard and forgot the charger for my laptop. So I can't upload my photos or post the drawings I had ready to go on my computer.

Oh well! For now I'll post this crappy tree drawing I did as a kid and another awkward Santa photo. Perhaps if I have time tonight I'll try and actually draw something.

So have a good holiday everyone! Eat lots of indulgent food and open your presents with gusto!


P.S. Extra treat:

Dragging myself from the rut

RUT RUT RUT
I've been in a drawing rut, which I hate! However, I've discovered a temporary solution for ruts...drawing friends! Those familiar heads always cheer me and make me excited to draw again.

Here are some sketches, taken from MySpace and friend blogs. I'm sure a lot of you will recognize where I stole these funny poses and expressions from! Go check these guys' blogs for hillarious photo stories!

Dapper Eddie and stunning Marlo! I tried to color this one but messed it up. OOPS! You'd think by now I'd know how to use markers.

Hi Eddie! You have the best expressions in the world.

Kali is pretty. It looks nice when you put lavender in her hair.


Some of these drawings feature friend Nico! I've never drawn him before though...so they're super sketchy.


I did some more, but I'll save those for later. Here are the sketches before I inked them:

Bye fer now! Thanks everyone so much for the suggestions on my last post...if you think of any more, let me know! :D

Help! Ideas and suggestions needed!

Pretty soon I need to make some money from selling drawings on ebay again. Instead of inking old crap, I wanna draw some new stuff and clean it up all nice. So I want to ask the people who read my blog...if you were gonna buy some original art from me, what would you want to see?

Sexy pinup girls?
Really cutesy stuff?
Drawings of girls doing weird things?
More realistic stuff?
Ben and Nico suggested drawing famous or iconic girls, like Edie Sedwick or 60's pop singers.
What do you think?

Please comment and let me know what kind of girlie art you like best!

Also, I thought about doing commissions, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea for me. I like the idea of taking requests, but I'm afraid of getting asked to draw things that are going to be either too time consuming, difficult, or weird! If there are artists out there who do commissions, how do you handle stuff like that? Is it rude to take one person's request and deny another's?

P.S. New drawings coming soon!

No one better smash my pumpkins this year!

I don't like Bobby Flay

Unhappy sunday work doodle:


P.S. If I can get my folks to mail me the SLEEP SACK, I'm gonna take some glamour shots for everyone so they can see how great they look in person!

THE GREATEST INVENTION IN THE WORLD!!!

BUT FIRST...

Lady readers of FunnyCute, what do you wear to bed??

THAT'S RIGHT!!
A new trend is sweeping the nation!!!
OK OK...

I guess I should explain...this thing isn't really called a "sleep sack." I don't know what it's actually called cause if I did, I would post a photo from the net of this wonderful product. When I lived in Nevada, the winter nights would get cold! My mom had this weird pajama/sleeping bag thing, and I stole it for myself! It was so toasty and warm and stupid looking! Everyone should have one, but I can't find anywhere to buy them! Arrgh! I will try to explain why this awful looking thing is so great:



The sleep sack is indeed an amazing thing.


You can even suck your entire body up inside it for ultimate coziness!

But the real reason I like the sleep sack...
Cause it makes me feel like a flying squirrel.

Foodles (food + doodles??)

I know I said I'd do post on my Lazik and birthday, but for some reason I haven't been inspired at home (too much daytime TV?). But but but...I said I'd post more often...arrghh! What am I to do?? I guess I'll show you weird restaurant doodles! When you are waiting for nice dinner and and funny people are around you, drawing gets fun again.

I did these two pages at Bob's Big Boy in the company of lads and lasses from the Drawing Board. Hopefully they'll forgive me for being shy!
Har har, there are funny drawings on the backs of these, but you can't see them!! Oh, I'm so mysterious!!

This page below was inspired by wonderful Greek style chicken and hummus, and Miss Marlo Meekins's company!
That's it fer now! Sorry I haven't got anything more exciting! Maybe some theories soon...??

Uninspired- drawing under the influence, and tard update

*****OOOOOPS

I'm retarded and messed up all the links and everything on my blog while attempting to change the layout. I'll try to put them all back soon...sorry if I deleted a link to you! My list was in need of updating anyhow...I also lost the little bar thing that says how many hits I had...does anyone know how to get that back, or is it impossible? Cry!

Anyhow...


Been feeling weird, anxious, and uninspired about drawing lately...above is another inked doodle that I made to trick myself into thinking I am still being productive.

The rest of these are older...drawn late at night while enjoying a glass or two of something or other.

It's weird cause I have this stuff I'd like to post, but I keep thinking I need to save the stuff I like for the book I'm attempting to make.

That's it for now...I want to do a post about my new eyes, and a post about the cool stuff I got for my birthday, and hopefully I will do them soon, but for now all I want to do is lie around and be lazy!

Aftermath

UPDATE!
Look at this amazing drawing Kristen did for me! Aw shucks, thanks Kristen!!! And she did it with that weirdo drawing tool thing on facebook, too...when I try and draw on it, it comes out like scribble-poop!

Hey, I survived the surgery!!! Thanks a MILLION guys, for leaving me nice and funny comments! It's dumb, but I was pretty freaked out! Anyhow, I plan on doing a post that goes more into it later...also I want to apologize for sounding like I don't like glasses! I think glasses look swell, it's just that my prescription was reeeeeally bad! It was a huge pain in the butt!

So now I can see pretty well...but the surgery left a hickey on my eye! Yeeaaaauugh!

CLICK for ultimate disgustingness


Also it is my birthday today!! Look at these awesome drawings I got!


THANKS KALI!!! Your drawing made my day! She did another one that's really funny too...check it out!!!



Look at this beauty by Rex Hackelberg, master of color and message pups!



I love this!!!! Thank you so much, Mr. Hammersonland!



Steffi from Arschblog made this super cute and squishy version of me!



This drawing of me is awesome too!!!! Thanks Ben!!!!!!

I got some great gifts for my birthday too...I'm gonna post about them soon, cause they're cool and you'll be jealous!

A STORY ABOUT EYES

My eyes are really important to me today!! I'm gonna talk about them! I don't normally like to do posts that are this self-absorbed, but I'm feeling pretty self-absorbed today, so I'm gonna do it.

One day a long time ago, I failed to see the cow that teacher had drawn on the blackboard!

Something was wrong... I was the first kid in my class to need glasses!

Over the years my sight became really awful. I was also self conscious because I had such small, unfeminine eyes!

Then one day during highschool, I got contacts. Holy cripes! My eyes were actually not small! And they were really close together! My appearance was unnerving...the glasses had caused weird shadows under my eyes!

Luckily I discovered a way to hide my problem. I relied on this tactic for a long time!

Like many other things in my life, I treated my new contacts somewhat irresponsibly.

The doctor told me "No more contacts!!! Yer eyeball is all wavy!"

Booo!! Back to glasses and tiny pea-eyes!

Later on in life I got contacts again! I scared Amid Amidi with my weird new eyes!

HERE'S WHY I'M FREAKING OUT!

I'm getting Lazik tomorrow, and it's scary!! I need comfort and soothing! What does the thing they shoot the laser into your eye look like?? Has anyone here had it?

This is me right now, all prepared for tomorrow.

I hope this doesn't happen! I kind of need my eyes for looking at things!
