Quiet nights and monsters of yarn

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Well, more like random stuff I finally get around to doing when I remember and Mercury isn't in retrograde with a dewpoint of less than 80. 
On Tuesdays.



First up! No one big page this time- there are only snippets.




Ahhh, the zen of lifting shadows. 
Or the zen of sitting on clear acrylic furniture. Either way.



Yes. Excellent.
A weird ball/man/star thing.
I'll put it next to the gazebo.











I'm not entirely sure why I like this one so much.
I think it's because it's just so cat. Take pretty much any cat and they will eventually end up in mid-butt lick and find something so interesting that they transform into oddly-posed statues.








 I love this quiet little barista too. 
I originally was going to have him do something snarky...but he just looks too kindly.










Behold!
Shadow Fingerdog returns!










If you do any kind of thread or yarn work- you know exactly what this is.
That giant pile of stash you have been steadily growing for the past few years has gone sentient.










Sometimes there's no explanation I can give you.

My mind- she's a funny place to be sometimes.

Something a bit different

Today I'm posting something a little different.
I finally hooked up my tablet and took it for a spin.

So I wanted to share some of the First Born From My Lovely Tablet (Thank You Mom, I Really Like It).

Ahem.

Let's begin.
First up- a nice pink bubble. 
It reminds me of a negative photograph of rippling water.






This one is fun and funky.
I really had a blast with the wide brush strokes.








I really really like this one. 
I have such an obsession with raindrop shapes.







This one is the closest to a 'finished' piece that I've done, to date.
It's set to The Reeling by Passion Pit.
Looking at the piece one could view it going either way- spiraling up or down.
How appropriate for me then.







Next post will be back to the hand drawn doodles.
Just wanted to share the fun of technology.
Technology!

Late Night Rambles Part Two- This time it's for real

So time for part two of our new adventure.
Step right this way ladies and gents!



First up- the whole sheet.
(And this time I actually have one!)









First up-
A pig/mustache/moose/tree thing.
(Send therapy bills to 10050 Sorryboutyourbrain Ave)










Now for something less scary.
So un-scary.
So tiny.
So tiny I left in the binder rings to show its size.











You know you made one of these in school-
Don't deny it!











At least it's friendly!
(I mean it could be one of those mutant corndogs.)











Well, hello!
Words and phrases to you as well!











I love Easter.
I love Spring too- but Spring doesn't get me any candy.












Ah-ha-ha!
My puns are amazing!










And last, but not yeast.
ba-dum!
A little ant with a little box.
Enjoy

Late Night Rambles Part One

Another odd night filled with half-sleep.
Time to fire the sandman.


Aaand- up first is the whole sheet:
Except these aren't all on one page.
Soooo...uhm. Yeah, sorry about that.



Another lovely day here in the Rain Belt.









Ahh yes, giant star weekend.
A classic.










This is a more complicated doodle than what I usually put up here.
It's still a doodle to me so in it stays.
The doodle plays, man. The doodle plays.
(Yes the stretched out face is intentional. It's just a line doodle.)










 Little bird, going up!













And here's your daily science fact:
(gotta keep that ol' noggin sharp!)










You know you're ready to rock when you wear those kind of pants.













This one started out as a spiral.
Just seemed to form out of nowhere.

Teef and No Sleep

Apparently the theme for today is teeth and lack of sleep.
How these combine inside my head?
No idea.


Full Page looks pretty good.
Lots of movement on the page and too much overlap.
I had to get creative with the cropps.
(Of course all of this is very exciting, I'm sure.)













Ahh, Mr Energy.
Guaranteed to make you shake like an old poodle.









My yawns are actually this big.
Usually accompanied by sounds like- RRrreeOWWrrr>squeak!<










And now- enter the teeth!
Or, exit the teeth rather.












Oh yes, sweet pillow.
I hear your call!









This is me.
Waiting for the snow.
Still waiting.










This is just the truth.
I'm trying to help people out here.









HAHAHAHA!
I've never heard your amazing play with words before!
HAHAHAHA!









It's no secret that I love My Milk Toof.
But what about Incisor and Molar?
Teef want love!









This happens to me at the worst times.









This is what it sounds like when worms collide.
Or when one end finds the other end.
(Look, I told you I was up late. You were warned.)





Aaaaaand- I'm out.
Flippyside.

Rainy Party Trees

Let the Midnight Doodle shine the light on me.
(sing if you want)



Whole page is actually spread out nicely this time.
Ahh the beauty.









I always miss the best parts.











Weird all-seeing eye tree is go.
I repeat, weird all-seeing eye tree is go!











The beat- it calls to me.











Don't worry little cloud.
 








Ahhh the joys of cat ownership.
The fur.
The sucky slicky grooming noises.
The Poo Paw.











When you know it's time to party:











Oh God! My eyes!











I always wondered about those shows from the seventies.
What the hell was wrong with us back then?











Ahh yes, Burrito Man returns triumphant!
(squeak!)







Flippyside.

Jellyfish and Poopbirds

Another day dawns here in the treehouse.
The squirrels are fat and the birds are happy.

Full Page is spreading wide and trying to keep other pictures out of my magical Crop Square.
It didn't work, as you'll see below.
I can't control the passionate doodle from within!









The fallacies of ancient biology.
Technology wins!










Beware!
Yes, it really does want to kill you.
Right after you get a ticket for speeding.










Yes, this is true.
 








You might think it's this one, but nope.










Surprise! It's this one:










Hitchcock never saw this one coming.
Probably a good thing.







Another trip through Doodleland completed.
Tip your therapist on your way out.
