I see things.

I admit. I see things. Awhile back I drew weird random characters inspired by a crazy-lookin' piece of ginger (refresh your memory here). This time, I was washing my paint palette and watching the dried acrylic patches chip away when an image suddenly flashed into my head. 

Can you see it? 


Look closer...


and closer...



Okay call me crazy but does the chipping paint not look like Jesus to you? (Oh and I threw a fried egg in the mix for additional randomness). Oh and by Jesus I mean the "stereotypical image of Jesus" because no one really knows what Jesus looks like. For the full effect you have to see the Tumblr-transformation version here. And now I feel like one of those people who find a far-fetched image of Jesus on a piece of toast and sell it on eBay for a couple hundred $$$. 

Anyway, moral of the story: God is everywhere people, even in paint palettes!

panda painting

Yesterday, I spent time throwing paint on a T-shirt for my friend's belated birthday present. When I'm painting, I have a really bad habit of rushing, and my impatience results in splattering paint all over the shirt. Instead of trying to wash off the spots, I got experimental and ended up flooding the shirt with water to create a fuzzy "watercolour" effect along the edges. I covered the rest of the splatters with the green paint splotches/embroidered felt material. I probably spent more time trying to fix the shirt than actually painting it. 

Anyway, I don't know if my friend will actually wear this or not - something about the panda just sitting there like a LETHARGIC LUMP makes me laugh. Is this shirt wearable? Leave a comment and let me know. I totally won't be offended if you say no. hahah =) 

And if you see my friend walking around wearing this shirt, I give you permission to point and laugh.
