I'm testing Social Plugins...

Nope, the social plugin didn't work. But here's my last etch-a-sketch. It was only half done, but my little cousin Tea accidentally dropped it when I tickled her -but isn't that the beauty of Etch-a-Sketch? Ok, that didn't work either. Freak I hate blogging. If I could figure out how to preserve my damn etch-a-sketch's I wouldn't have to put up with this nonsense... -Spoken like a true copywriter who spends the majority of his time writting blogs huh? PS: there's supposed to be a button at the bottom that says "tweet this" but that didn't work either. I hate social media and computers

The American/ INK

This etch a sketch is the perfect example of running with your mistakes.
I started out trying to draw the cover of the movie Th American with George Clooney.
















I didn't like the way the face turned out and the lapels of the jacket were all out of proportion. So naturally I turned it into an octopus and covered the lapels up with an ink spurt.

Quotes in Public

A mid-30's woman on her cell phone at the public library:
"Sounds good to me, I'm feeling raunchy tonight."

Billboard near Hays Kansas:
"YARNS- Worlds second friendliest yarn store in the world!"

My dad after I smelled Whiskey on his breath:
"I've had one drink! What are you an atomic sniffter?"

Girl questioning her homework at a country club where I work as a juice bar server:
"Why do we have to learn about Canada?

Now I'll shake the hell out of my art.

So the tennis pro at the country club where I work is a pretty cool dude. He suggested that I start maintaining my etch-a-sketch's so I could sell them on ebay...

I researched the topic online and found that it requires more than a live-at-home-kid with a screwdriver has to offer to maintain an etch-a-sketch...

Regardless, with those false hopes in mind, This "Beard Vs. Agassi" sketch was my first hopefull "EVERsketch," but seeing as it no longer has a chance I'll just shake the hell out of this sketch and hope that the picture I took does it justice... (the hell has oficially been shaken out of it.)

That's the beauty of Etch-A-Sketch: no turning back. What should I draw next?
Do I miss my Beard Vs. Agassi Sketch? Absolutely. Can I do anything about it? No.

New Etch a Sketches

I did one while I was reading A Tale of Two Cities; I think it reflects that book.



The other I did while my parents were in Pennsylvania for a week. The strip through the middle is the inverse of the background.

Journal- Alicante: Trash Treasures P.3

Tuve Exito!!!!

Today I saw a woman walking a small dog not only inspect but take home a reflective piece of cardboard from a dumpster!

I've written about this Spanish phenomenon several times before, however, today was the first day I've ever seen a dumpster inspector actually keep a previously disgarded treasure. Now I want to get video of one of a treasure hunter in action.

Journal- Alicante: Trash Treasures, mas ejemplos.

On my way to the plaza Gabriel Miro, I passed a dumpster with a pile of white bags. A guy was heading towards me at a pace that would rival any Spaniard's: todos negocios. (spanish for all business)
Our friend came to a dead and abrupt stop at the pile of white bags, scrutinized them for a moment, chose one to his liking and gave it a little heave: just to test the weight, then he continued on this hurried way.
Curious little creatures these Spanish folk are...

Still no trash/treasure takers but I'll catch one. I know I will.
