  ["And this...is pain!"]


January 01, 2023

I was walking around a neighborhood in Columbus with a friend and even though it's past Christmas, there were occasional remnants of Halloween decorations still around. When I saw the giant skeleton, I said that I thought it'd make a fun picture, but I didn't want to tresspass on someone's lawn. My friend said that a) it looked like no one was home, and b) posing with someone's home defense skeleton is the most sincerest form of flattery and they'd probably be happy that someone is standing on their lawn screaming. (I'm paraphrasing her words, perhaps a little...)

In my mind, I walked next to the home defense skeleton and before I could try to put my arm around him, it immediately came to life in a Ray Harryhausen stop-motion fashion and did a touch-based psychic attack on my mind. My friend took several pictures, but I liked this one the best. I had thought about adding some effects, like glowing eyes or lightning around me, but I think it's good as it stands.

Note that this isn't the first time I've encountered gigantic things in Columbus. There was the Mega-Mantis incident 7 years ago too.

Here's the full resolution picture of the giant skeleton.

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.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background image, just click on the image.
