Three day weekend comin’ up for me! : D
At the time I drew this I was pretty sure it was just from playing Ultima: Quest of the Avatar on ye olde NES. There were these monsters called “Snatches” (seriously, I’m not making this up). They basically looked like meatballs with stubby legs and had big, sideways mouths opening and closing in spectacular, two-frame, sprite animation! This was a kids game. A game which taught you the basics about Truth, Love and Courage and how those three principles combined to make the eight virtues of Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Honor, Sacrifice, Spirituality and Humility. How they got away with Snatches I’ll never know.
Anyway, Nintendo game trivia aside, I thought this drawing was rather interesting when taking into account the past and present states of my artistic inclinations.
Man, these weeks have been going by fast. I must be getting older, time seems to fly more.

Here’s my latest and in dry erase marker, no less! I know, right!? Fun fun stuff. If what you end up drawing sucks just erase it! It’s like it never even happened.
Seriously, though, this is a pretty neat way to experiment with ideas and shit and not waste a ton of paper and if what you end up with is save-worthy just photograph the fuck out of it before you erase it. This also agrees with my arrogant artistic sensibilities in a lot of ways: “I created it, I will destroy it! It’s mine!”
Well, thanks for stopping by and may your problems be as easy to solve as this drawing was to erase.
