#25: Pokemon Ash Meets Evil Dead Ash Versus Bunny, or Garrett Can't Draw People.























I drew this warbly Ash-mash-up, my friend Seth Williams drew the bunny. This is at least five years old. I haven't made a serious attempt at drawing a human being in all the years hence, because I realized that I was proud of this one. You think about that. I was proud...of that.

Omar once said that I have an very good eye for detail, but absolutely no sense of perspective or artistic ability. I'm working on those things, but for now I'll just be happy with my eye for detail.

#24: Cat Strapped to an Anvil, Falling on a Porcupine


























More about capturing a mood than a moment, clearly my art speaks for itself.

#23: The Headache
























This isn't the Bowl of Face, who should show up later. This is just a guy with a headache.

This was my take on evolution for a Biology II class. This isn't any statement on evolution itself, but rather a representation of how it might look in my own little world.

No idea what this is about. I was sitting in class next to a friend of mine who's a devout Catholic and we frequently trade barbs about each others' denomination, often getting into shouting matches solely to watch the reactions of people around us. But this doesn't really seem like an insult to me. It's really just kinda...bizarre.

#15 Ultimate Battle

















Part of this project is about me trying to force myself to generate new output, and part of it is about me trying to put out things I've had laying around for awhile. Those two goals are sort of at odds with each other. I was fascinated with fetuses for awhile, particularly with how cute they were and how much they look like shrimp. I have a lot of pictures floating around of fetuses dressed as gangsters, plumbers, royalty, pimps, Wild-West sheriffs, Zorro, martial-arts masters, etc. I'm not sure if they'll show up here or not; I'm not as fascinated as I used to be, but who knows...

#13: Robot Car
























Well, I have an illustrated narrative class that I need to show progress in, so I'm going to update more frequently in the next couple of weeks to make up for being out of town last week and for my pitiful showing in March. That may mean more old material, including Mr. Robot Guy, especially since I have a hard time taking this seriously when other things like schoolwork intrude. Why do I do that? Because I like this, that's why. Which means that it can't be as important, right?

#11: Regretberries!
























Yay for friends who Know Art and told me how to improve the way these things show up on the Internets. Expect me to go back and fix some of the older stuff.

What I'm looking for in a comic strip made by me.

So, the comic is coming, but I find myself tied up with character sketches. I'm actually putting effort into the way that it looks! Not that anyone who sees it will be able to tell. The fact that I do it very hurriedly (because I want it to look that way) and that I do it in pen makes it hard to get it right, because one mistake and I have to start all over, a process which leads to what I call "artistic compromises" or "forced creativity." I do want it to look spontaneous - optimally, it will be spontaneous - but at the same time, I want peoples' hair to look cool. So, I thought that I would experiment with preliminary work, and it's been interesting, but it's also been taking time.

Comic #7




















So, I briefly let the realisation that I can't draw get in the way of drawing. But, "art" must persevere, and so I'm back. Actually, I'm back with some older stuff, but some newer stuff is ready, and you haven't seen this before, anyway.
The robot's adventures continue...

Comic #6














At one point I wanted to write about a hip/hop group 1,000 years in the future. This was their manager. He has a lot of mouths.

#5: Garrett Can't Draw















Hey! If you could click this to view it, that would be spectacular. Evidently, it's too big. Maybe I'll resize it later.

This is Robot. He is confused by your hamburgers. He is confused by many things.

#2: Cyclops Contact























This is really old and rough, but I thought I'd throw it up anyway because you can get the general idea. I will try to avoid posting things with text on the other side of the paper in the future.

So, I buried my arms to the elbows in a mountain of love for you
and I wept in front of at least three dozen tourists
