Alaska Wildlife   July 08, 2011 Sure, it's a cliche, but hey, I wanted to put up a drawing and the few that I'm pondering won't be ready soon, and as one might guess, I could generate this one pretty quickly. Yeah, there are a lot of mosquitoes in Alaska. I drew a bunch of them (on postcards and the like) and am finally evolving a form that I kind of like and is easy to draw (and somewhat funny looking). A quick sketch and a B&W scan and very small photoshop cleanup and scaling. As I was doing some cleanup in photoshop on our computer that has a scanner, a co-worker walked by and said, "You mean that's why you kicked me off that machine, just to get a picture of a giant Alaskan mosquito?!" I considered that a compliment, though I hadn't considered it giant. I like that.

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.
