I have done much cleaner looking stuff art-wise, but ii was a fun little attempt at something abstract, almost cell-shaded looking. Definitely busy on the eyes. I have a bunch of 'better' stuff on DeviantArt.com ( http://bmwman91.deviantart.com/gallery/ ).

A funny sketch is here (http://www.deviantart.com/view/26425529/) that I drew on a suggestion/comment sheet at the gym I worked at in college. The supervisor that oversaw the suggestion-box could usually tell which ones came from me.....

Something I did last December. Started off just playing around with the idea of drawing a realistic hole-burned-in-paper. I decided that-alone was boring, so I decided to add something on the other side of the 'hole'. Not perfect, meh, but interesting. It was the first time since like 4th grade that I wrote in cursive too! I have touched up the shadowing a little since the pic was taken...darkened up the background a bunch.

Aaaand one more. This was a mural I did on some butcher paper I took from the aforementioned gym. It is roughly 1.8m x 1m in size. Done with charcoal pencil and graphite pencil. The jpeg compression kinda kills like 1/3 of the detail, oh well.

On second thought, if the 'burned hole' were an island in the middle of an ocean, it would look a lot like the island in Morrowind rotated 90deg! I played that game for daaaaays when I was younger! Lol, man I should sleep...I still have to get up at 6AM for work as usual.

Here is a fun idea:
Come up with a story for the burned hole pic. Make up a story, ANY story to go with the hole in the paper, why the author was writing what they were, why the hole is in it, be creative! The 'writing page' extends well off of the sketchbook page, but it is all complete sentences. That was a bit tricky to write words in air to make sure all the lines could make sense as a flowing paragraph. Hell, I cannot even remember what the sentences said in their entirety anymore!
