YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW! (#4)

Yew!
from “You Beauty” (Australian Slang)

1. Heard when someone is excited or pleased with a situation, event or prospective engagement of a future event… and stuff.
2. Popular with surfing, hang-gliding freaks named Alex.

Inspired by my brother from another mother Alex Cleland… did the “yew!” first then remembered back to the days of old in primary school when everything needed that bubble-text, drop-shadow, 3-d coolness so I added that. The diamond-y heart-ish shape just formed around it from then, no reason other than I thought it looked cool as…. that’s it!

This drawing was done on Sunday, 23rd January. It took 17 minutes.

WristWatch® RockClock (#3)

The WristWatch® Rock Clock is an Australian Precision timepiece and disco-resistant to 40 feet.

I did this drawing on Satuday, 22nd January 2011. It took 19 minutes to complete

I wanted to do something that would kick ass as a t-shirt and I wanted to feature a very hairy arm in some way. If you would like to purchase this image as a t-shirt, please email me and if I get enough interested I may consider thinking about feigning interest in producing t-shirts. But seriously, I really dig the way the word Rock looks when written in my style of script and started off with just that word. After a little while of playing around with a few different options of how the word could look I got the feeling just one single word might look a bit *meh*. Some clever wordplay later, I came up with “Time to Rock” which in a short while generated the same *meh* feeling… and at that very moment, for some unknown reason I looked at my long, pasty, hairy arms and wondered why I didn’t own a wristwatch…

Whenever Im on the phone with someone and they ask me if I have time to do anything or want to make an appointment and give me a specific time (or I to them) I look at my wrist like I have a watch on, even though I have never really worn a watch for most of my adult life… its weird and I’ve done it in front of people I’ve been with and they have LOL’d… lots

</funny story>

Anyway, yadda yadda yadda, Wrist watch, rock clock… you see how I made the connection!

Ken Oath, the Australian Mystery Man of Mystery (#2)

January 21, 2011February 5, 2011 thecreativepanicLeave a comment

OK, here is drawing two which was done on Friday, 21st January 2011. The drawing took 20 minutes.

I had heard someone say Kenoath that day and was chuckling to myself how some friends of mine used to shorten down the saying to just Ken! (for those who don’t know what Kenoath means, it is aussie slang for f**king Oath which in turn is in itself aussie slang I suppose).

Anyway, I got down to drawing! I started off with the word kenoath, just playing around the size, style etc and thought it was a little plain by itself. So I added in a crude map of Australia, reversed the text out of it and thought, yeah… looks cool but it’s not really saying anything to me. I pondered on this for a few minutes and asked myself what would I think Kenoath means if I was not from Australia and had never heard the term… would I think I was a person, this Ken Oath fellow? So I went with that thought and started drawing in the Aussie Mystery Man.

Now, the mystery man bit got me thinking again of another mystery man that had his name used without people really knowing what the term meant… WHO IS JOHN GALT from Ayn Rand’s huge tome, Atlas Shrugged. With that in mind I added in the WHO IS, drew a quick silhouette of an Aussie looking outback man and there you have it!

is a good Smashing Pumpkins song and also featured on the soundtrack for Batman and the trailer for Watchmen but I digress.

Well, after a false start at blogging many years ago Im going to give it another go! Essentially, I will be posting an image a day which I have drawn. The drawing will be about anything and everything and the only limit is it should only take me 20 minutes or less to draw (if it takes longer Ill let people know so they can chastise and ridicule me in dark places over drinks)

And now Im playing catch-up as I starting this drawing thing on FaceBook three days ago… so lets get this sh*t done!

The first image I did was Sausage Jesus… Thursday, 20th January 2011.

sesuj... mmmmm, sesuj
