Old Drawings 1

 

The first of a series of "random shape drawings" from 10 years ago. I scribbled a random shape and turned it into something. 2012/2013




Junior year of high school.


A dream I had I think also in high school, or maybe college. I didn't do a good job making it clear that the big bird is swatting the little birds away so they keep going over the same area on the conveyor belt, but they didn't seem to notice until the end. I don't remember what the actual dialogue was. Don't think too hard about it okay.


Another random shape drawing.

I don't like robots. Lyrics from "Party Machine" by Bruce Haack.

Two friends of mine at different times in my life who I saw alone in their sadness, even though others were around. The first one in elementary school days at a cub scout camp, and the other one my first year in college.

A dream, same year. People are leaving an event (a battle of the bands), but two amorphous, glowing blue blobs falling from the sky land in the way of the exit. From them emerged a gelatinous centaur and a horse. I originally called it "Pay Attention"

More recent. Like 2020.

My first group of friends in college around 2013. I dare say I did a pretty good job depicting each of them, except for myself I'm not so sure (I'm the tallest one), probably because I was trying to feminize my features. The couple behind me were indeed very short. The girl in front of me is the sad girl from the drawing above (but her hair was a different color at the time). Her then-boyfriend (in front of her) is now married to the girl behind me. The person yelling from a distant balcony represents me being paranoid because I was high a lot those days.

A bad ass go-kart driving muscle duck. It's another random shape drawing.

Dressing the Queen for the Ball. Same time as most of the other random shape drawings. Something I for some reason drew twice in high school...
