[profile] ericfmyers   is amazing.

See, he's doing this 50 BANJOS thing, in which he will be drawing 50 banjos. Which makes sense.
The cool part is that each one is essentially a $20 commission for a piece of his art, which he will send to you.
He's doing this to get some work done on his house such that the insurance company won't cancel his policy.
It's about 427 steps above "HAI GUYZ PAYPAL ME RENT KTHXBYE."

I shelled out my Jackson--who, incidentally, was a bad person--and told him "...draw[ing] me a banjo vaguely related to my fuckbrain would be awesome. Tourette's, OCD, bipolar, whatever. Just click on my LJ's fuckbrain tag for ideas."
Look what he made.

A fuckbrain banjo...

A fuckbanjo:




Could it possibly have been more awesome?
HINT: No.

Go help the man out and get your customized banjo art.

So, apart from [profile] himynameisjamie , there's another madrad comicker doing a Hero A Day illustrating thingie.

That is THE MYTH THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN so startling that we just had to call him...[profile] ericfmyers !!!

You can groove on his version of this stuff RIGHT HERE! AND I COMMAND YOU TO DO SO!

Who did he want to see me Not Draw? Could it be this fellow right here:



Okay, fine, that's not my real version of the character, that was me pissing about.

Hero a Day - Howard The Duck - with George Lucas
Sorry, Eric.

Vaguely.

Wanna add to my list of Heroes / Villains to Not Draw? The original list is here.
b
IT BEGINS, AND YOU GET TO PARTICIPATE. YOU CAN TELL ME WHO NOT TO DRAW.

It started with fantasticalistic cartoonifier [profile] himynameisjamie has been doing illustrations of a hero a day. They're awesomes. Shortly therafter, another comicker named [profile] ericfmyers started doing the same thing right here. They, too, bleed cool.

I certainly don't think I can keep up with that pace, but I'm going to do my damnedest.

I know there are ten or twenty new people here from the last few weeks, so if you didn't know, there are a lot of Things I Can't Draw. Indeed, everything is something that I can't draw. Except a coffeemaker and dudes with pill-shaped heads attached to tanks by bendy things.

But I digress.

Point is, I'm going to be taking suggestions for not just heroes that you want me to draw, but villains as well, and while I'm expecting mostly comic book characters, feel free to throw in other people. Let's be honest, though, and if you say "Michael Caine in GET CARTER" then it's going to just look like a shittily drawn person. At fucking best.

Try to keep to things with an actual distinctive look. Doesn't matter how obscure they are, I'll do 'em.

Oh, and I'm gonna go answer some more of those five questions things, as I still have some left. Feel free to add to those, too, back at one of the entries.

Off I go, my monkeys.

Right, [profile] ericfmyers is up next on my Five Questions Thingie:

---------

1. How come Godzilla never attacked Chicago?

Well, motherfucker is an amphibian, right? So from a purely practical view, that's a lot of goddamned land to walk across.
Let's say he comes ashore at Colonial Beach, Virginia--which seems to be his best landing area, if he wants to avoid D.C.--and heads straight to Chi-town. That's 766 miles across PURE land.

What if the G wants to get some water in there. Comes ashore at Bridgeport, Connecticut and heads to Buffalo, New York and does some swimming/walking until Detroit. Then it's two hundred miles worth of land from Detroit to Chicago.

Not worth Godzilla's time.

2. If the "birds and the bees" where supposed to teach us about sex, where does the penis and vagina come in at?

The penis comes in at the vagina.

3. Did John Wilkes Booth act alone or was he part of a larger conspiracy?

Conspiracy. It's clear that he had assistance to prepare for the ordeal and the subsequent escape, however bungled it may have been by his ill-conceived jump. Still, they should have left the doctor out of it. What was he gonna do, NOT help Booth and get shot?

Anyway, he had help, but probably no more than most assassins have. I mean, John Hinkley, Jr, nearly managed to off Reagan by himself and he was batshit and lived in modern times. Booth had help but didn't need much.

4. If the human race could organize and time our jumps just right, could we avoid all asteroid collisions in the future?

Yes, by tearing the Earth out of its orbit and plunging it either towards the sun or into deep space. But, hey, at least those options would both buy us a little more time, right?

5. Our senses feed the brain second hand information. Does this mean that life is just another part of our imagination?

I consider our brains to be the most unreliable narrators possible, so I'm  firm believer that a lot of what we see could be either wrong or adapted by each of our brains to process as it sees fit.

Ignoring the usual "How do you know that what you call brown is the same as what I call brown" and "If I'm the only one who knows he's thinking, how do I know that you're not all figments of my imagination?" arguments, there's still a lot to be said for what's "real."

Even on the most basic level, the moment I see anything, my brain responds to it in a particularly way, like "light is bright" or "snow is cold" or "Harold and Maude is sad." The assignation of states-of-being or emotional responses to each item we see--not to mention how often those responses change--means that our brain cannot be trusted to feed us a steady stream of trustworthy imformation. Indeed, the same thing may register differently from one day to the next.

As such, yeah. I think everything we see is, at bare minimum, tweaked by what we feel and what we think we know and what we don't know, which is close enough to imagination.

Now shush, I'm disbelieving you.

Got questions? Ask
There's NO reason for you to not be enjoying [profile] ericfmyers's deliciously irrereverent SMS comic and all of his other wonderful art.



Get on it.

b
Go congratulate [profile] ericfmyers and then start reading his comic: funny, poignanat, surrealist greatness.

Written last night, at Too Early a.m.

PLUGS, PART THE GAWDAMNED FIRST: The Visual Arts Edition.

And no, this isn’t even all the Visual Arts plugs. I’m only one man, and it’s after 2am, and I’m not even drunk. Your plug not here? Simmer, champ, this is an incomplete list

Let’s get this shit going!   

-----------

So, imagine a fat stack of the best cartoonists in the land kicking out krush phat grooves every freaking week. Now stop wasting your time imagining it, ‘cause that shit is right here. 3-2-1[profile] act_i_vate!!!


------------

While a healthy mother was giving birth in a sparkly-clean hospital room, down the street that woman’s cousin was poppin’ out her baby on a dirty motel room bed.

And that kid, they named that kid [profile] de_act_i_vate

 
 -----------

Beautiful girl lives in a beautiful place and takes beautiful pictures.

“I really should add a disclaimer to all of these strips: This comic does not claim to be "funny" nor should the reader expect it to be so. The reader should also not expect the strip to make any "sense" in any traditional way. The image quality, and furthermore the readability level, of each strip is intentional. No refunds, exchanges, or apologies. All question, comments, and concerns can be left under the cast iron bloodhound that sits next to the door.”

So reads the message above one of  [profile] ericfmyers’s deliciously dilapidated comic strips.


-------------

Jeremy "[personal profile] cleanskies" Dennis may or may not have a man’s name, but she’s always a woman to me.

Her LJ is frequently quite funny, and has a higher bug-encounter-per-entry ratio of anybody else’s that I know. Oh, and…

 
------------

[personal profile] riotmod is on drugs. The good kind.

Leave It To Jesus!, a comic of dubious moral value, is hystericalisms. There’s Jesus, a fuzzy Darth Vader, the personification of Robitussin,  two guys named Steve who are NOT Don Johnson and Tom Cruise…well…

 
------------

[profile] jimmahgee says I've already mentioned his stuff enough.
I say Jimmy Gardner needs to shut his cock hole. 

------------

[profile] robotaday : Every day, there is a robot. Do I need to spell this shit out for you?

Usually he makes the robots, sometimes others do.

 
------------

Can’t forget Jamie Dee Galey. Can’t forget Jamie Dee Galey.

Lord knows I've tried to...

 
------------

[profile] tiny_monster and her comics are so cute they practically kick you in the balls/ovaries. Politely.


------------

"Budda loves Jesus. Ohhh...and Jesus loves Buddha."
*throws coin in ocean and waves at it.*
"Now I'll always know where it is."

------------

"So I decided to remix it by changing Fred's dialogue in each strip -- and, as it appears in the hateful right-wing tabloid The Daily Mail, I figured I might as well make his owners sexually deviant repressed middle-class folk (it's their target audience, after all) and Fred himself became the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, whom the Daily Mail regards as something of a liberal, but it's close enough."

And such is the world of [profile] fredbasset upfucked, mocking the world's most unfunny comic.


------------

[profile] sirive cannot decide if he’s a sick bastard or if he draws the cutest kids in animal suits laying out the rhymes like nobody’s bidness.

 
------------

Now go, my monkeys, as I am cold and sore and weak.

Leave me to the horrible task of going upstairs and sleeping next to beautiful woman.
