Artistic License: Go Twist Yourself

Get to Work!!!!! Doodle


I got home from work, got lost on the interwebs and finally found my way back to studying. My project for tonight was an Oblina doodle. I drew a rough version of her, took a picture, and then retraced her in Adobe Illustrator. I loved her growing up. She spoke to my spirit.

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters


This was my favorite cartoon when I was little. The only thing I didn't like about it was I was never sure how to spell the Aaahh!!! and to this day I have to look it up.

I could list a thousand cartoons I love because cartoons have always held an exalted place in my mind. When I was little, I got to enjoy Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life when they were controversial and reviled by moral crusaders. The campaigns against them made me like them more. I guess this made me feel greater affection for strange cartoons than normal and made me identify as a strange person.

Get Twisted


Embrace your weird. Try something new, strange, different with each and every work. Don't be afraid of being told you're strange. Most importantly, keep working.
