December 09, 2023 Friends are hosting a white elephant gift party, where everyone brings something and stuff gets exchanged. So I got a thing, put it in a box, added some other things to rattle around in the box and make it seem like something else, and put it in a non-descript box with part of a lithium battery warning label still on. And then I thought about it and decided there should be some label or indicator on it, and so I broke out the white ink pens and drew a white elephant, or at least the front part of one on it. I used an online image as a reference, but drew it freehand. I think it came out OK and it amuses me. The full resolution picture is here. |

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.

image, just click on the image.
