A friend was celebrating his 60th birthday todayh (with a viewing of the movie What's Up, Doc? at a local theater). He works at the local maker-space in the public library, so I figured I'd draw something homemade, mechanical, and maybe a bit technological with a bit of retro thrown in. Or I was just stealing themes of having all sorts of weird robots from Bob the Angry Flower. In either case, I would up with this picture. I thought it was OK given the time constraint. Yes, the body is a wrapped gift and there bow is on the top of its head. I imagine that it was 3-D printed, but there's no evidence in the drawing. Similarly, there's no actual evidence that AI of any sort is used. But that doesn't mean it's not! And the "overflow" error was a reference to the typical "getting old" birthday cards. I thought about using color but I didn't have time and couldn't find my regular eraser I use after I ink a sketch (you can see the streaks by the bottom of the upper speech balloon. Here's the full size image for those who are curious about such things.

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.
