  2. Succumbed to da’ Debbil.

    May 8, 2007 by Collin

    That’s right. I’ve given up. I now have a MySpace page. Here. It’s pretty barren so far. It’ll probably stay that way for awhile. The plans I don’t have for it could fill entire libraries with void. But it’s there. Just a’sittin’.

    Anyhow, if you also have a MySpace page and would like to be added as a friend, do that voodoo that you do to let me know and I’ll do what needs to be done.

    No zombie today. Sorry.


  3. Yet even more “Art“ of dubious value…

    May 8, 2007 by Collin

    I tossed another quick drawing into one of the Something Awful MSPaint forums. This time the topic was “Animals on drugs”. I originally wasn’t going to make anything for it, however one person requested that someone draw “a panda smoking a blunt.”

    I’ve always wanted to draw a panda.

    I wasn’t going to show this to anyone outside of the SA forum, with the exception of Heather, because I don’t find much funny about drug abuse. On the other hand I really like how the panda turned out for a fast freehand sketch.

    So, in the end, drug abuse be damned. He didn’t inhale. Here you go:


  4. The Todd Settlement

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    DAVID KELLY AND TODD GOLDMAN REACH AGREEMENT ON PAINTING

    MAY 2, 2007

    Artists David Kelly and Todd Goldman have agreed to settle and end the recent claim that Mr. Goldman utilized an image and caption belonging to Mr. Kelly in an original painting without his permission. In early April, an internet site noted the similarity of a recent Goldman painting to a web cartoon panel produced six years ago by Mr. Kelly. Mr. Goldman has agreed to pay Mr. Kelly the full proceeds from the sale of the two paintings in exchange for a perpetual non-exclusive license for the image and its caption (“the “Work”). “It was a mistake on my part to not research the source for this Work which was sent to me over the internet by a friend. “Until a few weeks ago, I had no knowledge of Mr. Kelly or his body of online cartoon and animation work,” said Goldman.

    Mr. Kelly has accepted Mr. Goldman’s explanation and payment of the license fee and calls for the internet sites and all interested parties to acknowledge that Mr. Goldman’s use of the Work was an unintentional legitimate mistake and that there should be no further debate on the matter. Mr. Goldman’s two paintings which depict Mr. Kelly’s image and caption have a legally valid and enforceable license from Mr. Kelly. Mr. Goldman has agreed that he will not paint this image for any future commissions or exhibitions or otherwise use it for any further commercial purposes. Each of the artists have declared their intention to move on in their respective fields and encourage their supporters, friends, and patrons to do likewise.

    Interesting. I guess all the other stuff* is just a string of coincidences. Provided he receives oodles of art submissions via the Internet by friends, of course. I’m not saying either way, but I will say it’ll be a cold day in hell before I’ll knowingly purchase anything he has to sell.

    Moving on…


    *Read it while it’s hot. The guy running the site has received a take down notice from Todd’s lawyers. It seems several other sites have capitulated already in regards to their own articles, including WIRED and Wikipedia. It’s disappearing under the rug as you read this. Doubleplus ungood.


  5. More “art”.

    May 4, 2007 by Collin

    There’s a thread on the Something Awful Forums called “MSPaint Stuff That Old People Do”
    (EDIT: Fixed the link)

    I joined up with the SA forums in early April at the insistence of my brother. He said I would “rule” in the art forums. I said “Meh. I don’t have time and I don’t have MSPaint.” He told me they don’t have to be MSPaint, and even showed me a thread that was call “ArtRage is the new MSPaint” where everything was done in ArtRage.

    I finally joined after months of being bugged, and I’ve posted a drawing I made in ArtRage to the above thread. We’ll see if it gets a negative response. You can go and look if you wanna (but you have to be a member of the forums to view it), or just scroll down a bit here.

    Scary Old Teeth

    When I was a kid my dad liked to do this whenever I had friends over. After the first time, it wasn’t that often.
