All the Artwork I've Posted Before This

March 25:

` Believe it or not, I've already posted over a hundred drawings!; however it's been years since it's been very convenient to squeeze any into my other blog activities!
` So, why not make a completely different blog specifically for the purpose of posting my artwork? That way, I won't have to be so ambivalent about showing it off to everyone! (Right, because I'm an egomaniac.) And speaking of ambivalent....

` Beware Butter Cookies, the Cat Who Was Grossly Misnamed by the Staff at NOAH!

` This was originally one of eight drawings published online in the beginning of my Red Sketchbook, from way back when I was living in a big apartment building with this neurotic cat two skinny, dorky men. (One whom I was interested in, and one who was interested in me. It never went anywhere.)
` I've also highlighted these three in Grin Sheepishly! You're on 'Candid Former Roommate Camera'! and The Cat Behind the Drawings.

` You may notice that the uploaded images are rather small, and that their size in the blog posts are no wider than 400 pixels - even though the blog is now wider: I've since expanded the size of my blogs so that the images they display can be up to 550 pixels!

` Random Unrelated Sketches is the next one, involving a bunch of miscellaneous things, including a Babylon 5 parody, a sea crocodile and a guy named Flyin' Fred.

` Meet the Baxters - that would be Jason, Andie and Cosey-Mo, three very surreal individuals I'm sure you wouldn't mind getting to know!

` In S E E Quine: Supervillain Extraordinaire, I showcase my development of a new character, one that eventually became my alter ego. This was the picture that greeted people at the beginning of Nociceptor's blog.... (Another image of Butter Cookies is now featured on the sidebar.)

` Later on, she is also featured in three fan comics written for Joe England's ZebraGirl (which may or may not have recent comics, though there is always the archives).

` Now we go back in time, to the first hint of my oldest sketchbook, S.E.E. Hazel's Freehand Art, which I started at about age seventeen. And then there's the opening pages of it (featuring Jar Jar Binks and Conan O'Brien).
` Then, in More Pencil Sketches the first picture (not mine) is actually my inspiration for my alter ego, then there is a really detailed drawing of where I used to live, along with a satellite photo of it, and some real bizarreness with an animal puzzle and Stewie Griffin.

` Pencil Sketches of Even More Things actually involves me going to an airport, being bored and then drawing a picture of a baby penguin I saw on the airplane. (Who says penguins can't fly?)

` The next one is Sketches from the Sinfullest Place on Earth, including (but not limited to) dinosaurs, a dog resembling a dust mop, a parrot, upside-down things from later on, the bizarre properties of Star Trek keychains, Jar-Jar Binks, and the story of how my dad's insanity got us kicked out of my uncle James' place.

` Las Vegas' Great Flood of 1999 - caught on paper! is just that, as well as all manner of strange and frightening creatures (including a cameo by Captain Furby).

` Old Sketches: A Year of Little Inspiration shows the very meager number of drawings I'd done over the course of an entire year. This very long gap is partly accounted for by the fact that my insane Dad, having finally been kicked out of my mom's house a couple of months after my eighteenth birthday (after many stressful months of persuasion), had stolen everything I'd ever written or drawn - including years' worth of diaries and the laptop he'd bought for me - except, at least, my sketchbook.

` Then, much further on, I finally got around to posting Legions of Dexters, as I'd begun to watch Dexter's Lab in order to help distract myself once I realized Dad wasn't about to send any of it back.

` I put the rest of my Dexter drawings in Violence Against Dexter!! A little. It is full of aggressive creatures such as dragons, robots, chupacabras and even the dreaded Quackor *shudder!!!* as well as this neat-o creepy drawing of my shadow when I was 'Still Experiencing Dexcon Four'.

` For a while I didn't think there was another art post after that, but in fact, I found one; Surprise! Old Sketches of a Not-My-Family Reunion, which is filled more with Gourdy, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, creepy rabbits and Kamek the Magikoopa than not-my-family.

` Oooooooh kay... so far, I've barely managed to write this post - I've had to do many sections over again several times - because my computer keeps giving me The Blue Screen of Death, but I think that's all I had on that blog. However, I do remember putting one sketch on nociceptor... Behold! The Dire Rhea and the Goner Rhea!

` I've gotten my computer fixed (the problem turned out to be my RAM) and I've just gotten back from my camping trip in order to post this, because you, My Loyal Readers are special.

` Next post, I'll put up some artwork I haven't posted before! ...That's also because you're special. And smell vaguely like wood fire smoke. Oh... wait, that's me. Never mind.

` Now see here, comment-thingy! Let my friends leave comments, or I'll... I'll... do something really unpleasant!


` There. I think I've fixed it....

Sequine!!!
You mean you are giving me yet another blog that I can violate?
*sniff*
You really do care!

And very talented to boot.
Thanks sweetie.....G

Spoony Quine said...

` Yes, all yours to violate... along with the other 'G's and whoever else who wants to! It's a beautiful thing.

Ha ha, G-man, Spoony has beaten us both to the first comment! Neither of us has had the pleasure!

By the way, thanks for the sham-paggen, though I'm too drunk to remember my inaguarl speech.

Neato drawings! You definitely have a talent there.
The first pic looks as if it's the Abominable Snowman hunched over and looking at his knackers ;-)
And the second picture looks like the professor from the Back To The Future films.

` I like your descriptions, Gareth! I take it you didn't have the time to scope out the roughly 109 other drawings I'd linked to? I'm sure you would have had fun with those... maybe too much fun! ;)

Dan said...

Spoony, very nice! You are very talented. This stuff reminds me of Raymond Pettibon.

Unknown said...

Oh sorry, no I didn't realise there were more drawings. I'll have to go and root them out now. I may be gone some time. Have a cup of tea and a piece of cake ready for my return wench :) ......

Spoony Quine said...

` Did all the references to there being over a hundred drawings and all those descriptions of posts and links to them escape your keen Leprechaun senses?

` ...And you may have some cheesecake left over from my sun-go-round anniversary, but you'll have to make your own damn tea! (I have chai :D)

Unknown said...

I'm sorry SeeQuine. I guess my "keen leprechaun senses" must have been distracted by something big and hard :P

Spoony Quine said...

` I understand... pots of gold tend to have that effect on me as well!

Unknown said...

HAHA!! Good one! :D
Hoppy Easter

I all the time used to study article in news papers but now
as I am a user of web therefore from now I am using net for content, thanks to web.


Look into my weblog; firmly against ball

I have been surfing online greater than 3
hours lately, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours.

It is lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion,
if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content
material as you did, the web will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.

It's actually very complex in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I just use the web for that purpose, and obtain the most up-to-date information.
