I dropped one into the recesses of my La-Z-Boy. Recovery was difficult.

I used to do doodles while watching TV*, way back when I was a student. Here are a few.

* actually watching TV with one eye and one ear, listening to the radio with the other ear, the left hand on the REC button,
doodling with the remaining hand and eye. - I wish I could multitask like that today.

and

An old favorite shape:

Those are cool. I've never played with those. Do the little balls roll around a lot when you are trying to make a shape, or are they pretty rigid, staying in place once you put them somewhere?

They only move where and when you don't want them to.:D

Pretty much. They stay where they are unless you get them near the wrong side of another shape.

woot.com has Buckyballs in two other colors today.

I was thinking of buying them for my kids. But then I saw the very strongly worded warnings.

According to the recall notice, 14 is the reccommended age.

Look what kerosene drew for me on commission! I haven't seen it in person yet, but I'm excited to. It's going to be a Christmas present for my wife. In case it's not obvious, those are my kids. I took a million pictures on Thanksgiving, and chose my favorite three, all in different lighting, and kerosene told me which one would work best from her point of view and she drew it.

Cool huh? She's got an art page over on Facebook.

:notworthy

That is AMAZING.

omg I really should commission her to draw my nieces. She's SO good!

Yeah. She's extremely talented. I'm so happy with the way this came out!

I've got an art supply store a few blocks from my work, so I just need to go pick up a mat and picture frame. I'll wait until it gets here so I can measure it.

Your wife is gonna cry! :)

She just might. :)

Thats truly awesome

This is three years late, but... how'd your family like the camping shirts, glatt?

My mom absolutely loved the shirt. And I even got a poster printed for her because she wanted to frame the t-shirt. My siblings said they thought the shirts were cool, but I've only seen my brother wearing it. Maybe I got the wrong sizes, or may they just weren't that into them. I wear mine, but am a little disappointed with how quickly the colors faded. So I got a poster printed for myself too. It's hanging in the bathroom.

I'm pleased with how the whole project worked out, but it's my mom who was most excited by it all. I can always count on my mom. :)

Tell Kero I said she haz mad skilz.

Holy cow, that looks really good. Way to go, Kerosene! And way to go glatt!

Very nice. I can't draw things that exist.

I have a beautiful and original piece of artwork that reminds me every day of Case's talent. And the kindness of more than one Dwellar.

Should I win the lottery it would still have pride of place in my collection.

Well... You can't draw things that don't exist either, can you? I mean, once you draw them they exist, so it sounds like tape may be your niche.

If they exist, then you can compare my drawing to them, and see that it's no good.

If it's imaginary, then who's to say I didn't capture it perfectly?

Very nice!

Thank you!
 

Glatt told me he posted the drawing so I just had to log in and say thank you so much! I am finally getting to where I am comfortable with my drawings again. :)

You should be very comfortable with them. They are fantastic. Thank you so much for doing this drawing. It will be the perfect present. :)

That's beautiful!

We miss you!

Miss, seconded.

Can you draw some shit men?

Shit, even I could draw that.
Just call my Chris Ofili.

What, exactly, is a shit man? ;)

You'll like especially starting with post 17, glatt. We were comedic GOLD I tell you. ;)

Good times, shaw. Good times. :)

:)

It was sooooooooooo funny. You started me off, then we just went from there.

Wow, thanks for the resurrection. I can't believe I came up with the line "intellectual sweater kittens" I'm not even sure what that means.

Cool! So what is it? A UFO landing pad? Or is getting the viewer to ask questions the whole point?

I had in mind a fantasy-world religious labyrinth of some sort, but I usually don't have a plan when I draw.

I'm actually least happy with the focal point (poor precision and perspective), and most happy with the background.

Very cool...kind of a Minas Tirith type setup.

A couple more on the Minas Tirith theme...

That last one, wow. That is super neat. I will have to show you some of my line drawings. Mine are predominantly abstract, but I love the 'bunches of little lines and details' thing. It's very absorbing to produce something packed full of little tiny lines very close together.

It is! i do it while listening to the lamentations/grotesque-sugar-sweet cliches at meetings!!!

I can get a lot done in an hour of sheer fucking boredom.

I have to be doing something with my hands pretty much all the time; the three tall skinny ones are on the backs of bookmarks from study groups at work, drawn over the course of one-hour weekly meetings learning Java. I started at the bottom and worked my way up.

I was totally missing the scale. That is cool stuff.

Oh - I may have been misleading with "bookmarks". They are each half of a regular sheet of paper. About 4x11.

I find mine is a sort of hypergraphia.

I don't write, though, so I guess it's hyperdoolelia.

That just sounds like you go poo a lot.

well, I can't deny that.

As a child, I would draw prohibitively elaborate mazes.

Whatever this is in the DSM, my daughter has it.

Well it ain't Aspergers, because that doesn't exist anymore. :) I'm gonna go with Labrynthine Hypergraphia. (No it's not real.)

I also did that as a youngster

Spencer went through a maze phase....and I remember getting a pad of graph paper from grampy for making them myself, too.

Christmas ornaments from last year.
