Balooooons! (And a Micron Pen)
  ["I'm flying...flying, I tell you!"]


June 30, 2024

On a lark, I decided to get a Pigma Micron 02 pen by Sakura (0.30mm), to see if I'd like it for writing as well as doodling. Someone I know was using one and said it was his standard pen. I haven't done much but it seems pretty nice. Good inkflow, dark ink, quick drying. I've used it for some notes and some random doodles but decided this would be a good excuse to draw something and add it here. I drew some mountain things earlier which is nice with the fine point. I thought maybe have someone in a hot-air balloon above it, but that would be too much trouble and the basket would obscure the person. Then I thought about some image of Opus from Bloom County floating with balloons attached to his waiste/butt. I can't find that image but I drew a random person doing the same thing. The person is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, waiving and holding a walkie-talkie radio. It was a very quick drawing, though I jotted it down in pencil first before using the Micron pen. It's fun to doodle, and the shadowing of the mountains is easy and fun. Also, I never decided the gender of the person or if the thing in the upper corner is the sun or the moon, since neither really matter to the drawing (I said it was quick). Full size image 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.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background image, just click on the image.
