Attempts I've made at creating art.

(The below comic of course not being my art, but just following the pattern of a Calvin & Hobbes image at the top of every page on this site.)

I like to try and make art sometimes. I have a few different "styles" I attempt, so I've divided the page up into categories. I've tried my best to list the items in each category chronologically, with the most recent at the top.

Sketchy Painty MacDraw Rubber-Hose Doodles

Sketchy

If I use a single-pixel pencil tool (for the main content of the image) then I categorize them as "sketch" style. Back in the day I used MS Paint, today I use GIMP.

Painty

When I use a thicker "brush" I categorize it as "painty".

MacDraw

One Christmas, when I was a kid way back in the stone age, my dad got our family a new-fangled Macintosh Plus home computer. It was a marvel of technology and one of my favorite things to do was to draw stuff on it. I don't have any of those old pictures, but I recently found an emulator that lets me use the MacDraw application in that emulated environment, and I love that polygon-style drawing and using black-and-white patterns to stand in for color or shading.

Here's what that process looks like, for anyone wondering:

(Names in the image blurred for privacy purposes.) Not exactly a modern state-of-the-art graphical design environment. Which is just the way I like it. Things were simpler back then. Anyway, on to the images:

Rubber-Hose

I have a love for the old-timey "rubber-hose" art style of old cartoons. I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but I'll keep trying.
