OK...when I said I don't know what the Violent Femmes look like for
yesterday's sketch of the Violent
Phlegms, I really meant I'm not familiar with the group and I don't
really know how to draw them. I did pull up an image of them to see if
there was anything really distinctive and found the answer was "not
really." I did a quick sketch of them, so I'd have something to work with
when I changed the Femmes into the Phlegms (and in fact I added a mohawk to
one of them). So this was the pencil-sketch, which is more just generic
people performing on stage, so I'd have a sense of what a drum set looks
like and the lights. The guitar and bass aren't visible enough to get a
good version. I kept the hat on the bass player, the drum set, the lights,
the 2 amplifiers, and the metal structure the lights are on. I dropped the
audience (I figured it'd just distract from the main subject). I figured
since I had the sketch, I might as well put it up here just for kicks.
Probably best to click on the image above to view it on a completely
white background to at least see what it looks like. |

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.
