exquisite corpse

Is it getting old yet?

Shortly after arriving at the party, Amanda (who I only know as the girl who played ExCorpse at a club with us one time) approached me to do another. Such is the power of ExCorpse! This game is just tons of fun! Especially for people who don't normally draw during their day. I was feeling a lot intoxicated so I relied on the old stand by face. Not too interesting. But her and Steve had no idea that they were both drawing a building. Nice syncronicity!

This one is trippy:

This one makes perfect sense!

This one cried all the way home...

Okay, so last post I resposted some old images. But there was new commentary so whatever.

This one my girl and I did waiting for breakfast. Mmmm muffins and eggs and dragons!

Last week Andy joined us and drew up some monster tits.

And then really worked his butt off on this elf. No half assed rush jobs for him. J gets his ideas from advertising. Or at least wanted to draw that character.

At the beginning of the Breakfast Club there's a shot of a staircase where someone's scrawled "I'm eating my own head" in the wooden bannister.(from a few weeks ago).

Mike was on an underwater kick that day he did the bottom in that one and this one. I like that it turned out that the tree head I made turned out to be on a lumberjack. But at least he has a rubber axe.Check out that cute jungle girl in the city!
I made this girl a little wonky eyed. But there's no erasing ink so now she just has "character". I think we all liked how this one turned out.

3 Weeks Worth

When you have the anonimity of being only 1/4 of a drawing and it's drawn on a napkin in a bar it makes it a lot easier to draw something crude and unpleasant. Case in point...

Also, we realized Mike doesn't like to just draw part of a character so he's started to put little mini characters in his 1/4 to make up for the fact he usually has to draw the feet. See!
I can't tell if those were Godzilla boots or Kiss boots. But they rock either way!

The next week Mike kept using the word dilettante at lunch in reference to art shows so it spawned this...

More tiny figures from Mike. So J planned to thwart Mike by adding a falling safe to squish the characters he would draw below on this one. But then he didn't draw any...

But notice the amazing landscape he drew instead! Such a lovely Castle ready to be ransacked by Conan on dragonback.

Also, I was compelled to draw pac man & ghosts that day because of an upcoming video game art show I'm doing.

The next week Mike was back to drawing tiny people again. He did the knight...

But as we unfolded it, we realized that unbeknowst to us, if we removed Js section it almost worked as a whole drawing, looking not nearly as calico and cobblestone as our usual corpses.

Then we all started drawing each other.

Jugger the Hutt

For this one it seems like we all drew Marvel characters. Spider-Woman is so 1970's that it's the awesomes!

Mike wanted to start one off sideways. Talk about lateral thinking. Nice one!

Mike always gets the feet

2006-02-24T08:46:00.000-08:00

Actually J started this one to empathize with Mike always getting the feet. Mike's wife Claudia made a rare appearance and drew lots of fun stuff too like a monkey and incense.

Thar be dragons!

This one my girl and I did while waiting for brunch to be cooked. Her 2nd and 4th parts put mine to shame. Those arms rock! It's totally going kick our asses, in the ass!

I did this at Shake A Tail with two people I didn't really know. They were full of awesome enough to play along. Thanks Amanda and Chris! Weirdly two of us did flying fish.

Remeber femlins? No? Oh well.

Mike keeps getting the feet. He sits too far away from me.

Brimbacca?

2006-02-08T13:59:00.000-08:00

Wilfred Brimbacca? Chewley? Chewbrimley? Wookie Brimley? You could go on for hours... Mike has a flannel Rhino costume at home. Or so we decided against his protests.

Boy, is it ever Cathy!

Two weeks worth...

One out for breakfast with the girlfriend...

and today's...

they got mad at me when I did the second section of this one, but I thought it was funny...

2006-01-18T13:25:00.000-08:00

Wooden texture on lightning bolts, yeah! The last part of this napkin is an homage to a Toronto creep who asks people at comic book conventions to draw in his skecthbook... pictures of girls stuck and struggling in glue with crushed bugs blood on their fingers. Now that's a fetish. He even crashed our local comic jam once adding panels of Catwoman stuck in glue to every page he could?!

The terrifying room of bald eagles

One day in elementary school we were making a display for the library's bulletin board of a giant haunted house for Halloween. We made a bunch of small tombstones for the the 2-d front yard and kept writing R.I.P. on them until Omar got bored and wrote T.O.E. on one. Toe (and Big Toe) were probably the funniest words to us in grade 2-5. The librarian said we had to change it, it didn't even stand for anything. "Sure it does... Terrified Of Eagles" Omar countered. She shurgged her shoulders and gave up. It made us laugh every time we passed the graveyard.

Different people playing along

2006-01-11T13:59:00.000-08:00

This one was done in blue pencil so it didn't photograph or scan well. Ugh. Whatever.

Cookies!

This one was accidently started in the middle.

Different way to divide into quarters

2006-01-11T13:46:00.000-08:00

For this one we actually tried to do a proper drawing, all agreeing to make a barbarian (the greatest thing to draw ever!). We flipped a Twoonie to see if it would be a male or female. Queen=Girl Bear=Bear. Without seeing each other's stuff it turned out not too horrible.

Happy Holidays!

2006-01-11T13:44:00.000-08:00

Spidey's on the very bottom lifting it all lamenting "Aunt May!". The 50' Tall Woman is saying "50'? I'm only 48'11"!

Its nose is Barba Poppa

2006-01-11T13:42:00.000-08:00

It's even fun to do on a date!

2006-01-11T13:40:00.000-08:00

Begin!

2006-01-11T13:35:00.000-08:00

Each of us draw a different section not knowing what the other has drawn. We only see the lines that come over the edge of the folded napkin to know where to continue with our drawings. We ran out of room on the end of the first one so J provided the feet.
