CAPTCHArt is a beautiful thing!  I made this one.  Source images were public domain photos from Wikimedia Commons.

Some more captchart.  The 1963 Wostro, the herpderpiest automobile the swinging sixties and a wonky captcha had to offer!

Public domain source images: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Because we all love visual puns.  Made for b3ta's verbular celebrities image challenge.

Speaking of Doctor Who, care to kick my starter?

For today’s daily doodle I played a self-administered drawing game a teacher taught me ages ago which is perfect for getting over doodler’s block, so I decided to share the game here as well.

The original game used a paper encyclopedia or dictionary (which were things people had back then) flipped to a random page, I updated it for the Wikipedia era.

Once you master doing this in ten minutes, try for five!

Digital portrait of a woman named Courtney I used to know, done in August 2005 with a smallish camera phone photo as reference.  Her hair was really those colors.

I didn't have a drawing tablet back then; all points and vectors were placed manually with a mouse.  That method, combined with the fact that I wasn't entirely comfortable doing vector-based art at that point, resulted in this being very slow work.

Also, OMG LENS FLARE!!!@#$%^&*

Digital portrait of my best friend Grey Frequency, in the style of Shepard Fairey's OBEY.  See what I did there?

I originally made this for the desktop library on the New York City 2600 website I run with Grey, surprising her with it.  It quickly became my favorite thing to cause computers in public places to display.  I heartily endorse your doing the same with it, especially if Grey is nearby.

Doodled this in the laundromat whilst my clothes tumbled.

I'm taking my Doctor Who Facts! project to a few new places.  I'm doing cartoons like this for some of the facts; also, there's a @WHOFAX Tumblr now!

A fact from the @WHOFAX archives, illustrated.

A dramatic reading I performed from the LiveJournal my old friend Murd0c used to have, as originally posted by him on September 1, 2003.  NSFW for sweariness.

Unfortunately the post I'm reading can no longer be seen; Murd0c deleted his LiveJournal because he didn't want a bunch of crap he wrote as a teenager still out there.  I don't see what his damn problem is, this was some ace material.

This plant did not come out looking like the photo on the seed packet.
