a stone house   August 29, 2008 I am not Dave Sim, nor do I labor under that illusion. Nevertheless, my pen was running out of ink, which meant it was easy to draw lots of small, thin lines and do some cross-hatching. Put me in the mind of a Cerebus sort of village setting. No cute animals though. And shrinking the picture down makes the lines look sharper. Oh, and I drew it on lined paper and got lazy at the end trying to edit out the lines. They're visible on the bottom. It also had one running up along the left side. Oh well. I have a new pen now. Also, I do have a set of rapidograph pens, but I have yet to use them. I guess I'd need even thinner lines if I want to approach the level of effort of those who do really good cross-hatching work.

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.
