Towelboy!   October 22, 2015 We have an automatic paper towel dispenser at work. It's located along a wall, and anytime I stand near it, it will produce a towel. It puts me in the mind of a superhero's somewhat-lame sidekick: Towelboy, whose minor superpower is the ability to offer a paper towel at will. It's kind of the only tool in his toolbox, so that's all he's got to work with. But damned if he won't try to use it when possible, though generally at inappropriate times. Kind of like Sigorney Weaver's character on Galaxy Quest whose only job is to repeat back what the computer said. "I have one job on this lousy ship. It's stupid, but I'm going to do it! Okay?" A quick photoshop sketch, then colored with Illustrator. I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but it preserved the width of the lines. Huzzah.

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.
