Star Wars meets Monty Python   June 15, 2005 Was I the only one in the theater that thought of the scene from The Holy Grail with the Black Knight ("'tis but a flesh wound") after seeing the last Star Wars? Well, maybe in the theater that I was in, but it seemed like the obvious thing to me. For this sketch, I was debating whether I should draw Anakin as Darth Vader, to make him more recognizable and link it more to the Black Knight, or just to keep it closer to the Star Wars movie. I chose the latter, since I could do it quicker and expectations are lower (it has to look like a person, not a specific person; while Vader in the suit really needs to look like him).

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
