The Circling Table Hyenas
  [I believe a lion and maybe an elephant and a rhino should be arriving any minute, so yes, those chairs will be used.]

I played trivia at a local bar tonight with some friends. I got there early to stake out a table, as the place fills out quickly. And while I was waiting for the others to show up, various people asked if I'd be using all the space (unlike other occasions where I'd be waiting alone at a picnic-table sized table, this was more like one that could hold four people), and I would say that, yes, others should be showing up (and eventually did). Since it's, essentially, scavengers looking to find something they can use, we've referred to them as hyenas circling around, looking for something either dead or vulnerable. While I was waiting, I decided to draw something and that's what came to mind. Note that I don't really know what a hyena looks like, in any accurate sense. I showed it to the first person in our group that arrived. He asked if I was just adding more and more hyenas until someone else arrived. I think the answer is yes, though it wasn't something I thought about or planned. More just abject fear of how long I could hold off the hyenas.

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.
