How to draw an island

In order to properly draw an island, one must have a strong background of the fundamental elements that ultimately make up this piece of earth surrounded by water. Let me walk you through those necessary components.

First off... this is what we are after. A photo realistic drawing of an island.

For starters, you must have learned to master the shape of the roller coaster volcano. Preferably the one with the neon "V-CANO!" sign.

Some may think this next step can be easily overlooked, but the proper  "helicoptered giant lawn gnome volcano plug" should NOT be ignored. 

You might begin to see how all these start to take shape in this next step. (Note the randomly placed numbers and letters. Very important.)

And lastly, don't forget the importance of the wale greeting a goldfish in a bag. Lives have been lost over the neglect of this last important piece.

And there you have it! You can now draw an island perfectly. Congratulations. Your certificate will be mailed to you in 5-89 days after the next leap year with 2 solar eclipses.

How did I get sand in there?!

One day, I decided to walk to the nearest beach and make a sand castle. Unfortunately, Idaho is not known for having a plethora of sandy beaches. But fortunately, I enjoy running all the way to California now and then.

As I began my bi-pedal journey, I decided to start sketching some ideas of what my sand castle would look like once I arrived.

Ah, yes. What a beauty! I drew this while running, you know.

More beach-a-rific sketches to keep my interest up!

Look! I even drew a princess in that tower up there!

Dragons sure are cool. With their fire, and claws and... oh wait... I'm supposed to be drawing castles. Um, yeah.

Ok, yeah! See! Dragons go with castles! Er... Aligator-looking dragons. And so do side swimming pools. For all the royal pool parties.

...and umbrellas. We wouldn't want the royal king to get a royal sun burn. (Never mind the giant, frenzied dragon that hangs around the castle. I'm sure he won't bother anyone.)

Just in time for winter

Yes, I'm back. After quite a long hiatus, and finally getting back into the swing of things, I've decided to enter the blogging world again. You will find the same amount of intrigue, suspense, and mystifying humor only previously found on the backs of Cap'n Crunch boxes. I have more sketches to share, fun to impart, and words to type.

Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to be offered employment at internationally known company Curious Media. I've participated in many projects, and have drawn many things. I have now 2,482 work notebooks full of sketches that would only astound modern science, as well as befuddle the great minds of the world.

But I decided to burn them all and post pictures of snow cone machines, instead.

These are your average snow cone/heart monitoring machines. Fairly common place.

Knowing that snow cones always taste better when a beaver chips the ice for you, I decided to try this version.

Because of my recent trip to Plus-Size Bed, Bath and Beyond, I had an abundance of gigantic cheese graters that needed to be put to good use. 

The snowmen could loose a few pounds anyways.

Wait a second... Is this a new post?

Yes.

Yes it is.

Expect more.
