A Magical Morning With Conan

Posted on February 9, 2008 - 2:19pm

I usually set aside a few hours every Saturday morning to write a wordy or well illustrated post.

Today I decided that before I wrote my post I would get a quick drawing out of the way first. Andy from Station Atomica is holding an Anti-Contest and I wanted to enter.

An anti-contest by Andy's definition is a contest that doesn't rely on RSS subscriptions, comments or writing about it on your own blog. Instead, you merely draw a picture of A Magical Unicorn, or Arnold Schwarzenegger from memory. Sweet.

So I got started drawing. Then I got into it. Then I realized that I had blown off breakfast, lunch, my Saturday morning poop and missed my chance to write up that post regarding Anne Coulter's relationship to the Chupacabra.

Crap.

As a concession and an apology, I give you...

I'm desperately feeling the need to justify my time investment. Maybe I'll make into the next Shirt of the Month.

Would anyone wear this masterpiece of awesomeness?

If you won't your mom probably will. At least that's what she told me last night.

Dang, that's great. You need a catchy title for it to be a T, I think. Maybe "Magic is Dead." Or "The Puppies are Next."

Dude seriously, that is pretty good. Did you draw that free hand or with Illustrator? I am sorry to hear that you missed your morning poop.

Morning poops are the most important poops of the day. :) Nice drawing Jason.

@Dave
I thought the unicorns were on our side - them not being in the Bible and all.

@Deb
How about "Awesome Trapper Keeper" or "Your Childhood Is Over"

@Andy
I drew it in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. At least tomorrow's visit to the Fortress of Solitude will be twice as fulfilling.

@OrangInks
Or sometimes of the week...

@/ninja
What do you think, needs a title/caption? More suggestions?

Yeah artistically yours is probably the best I have gotten, and the way it is done makes me want to color it really bad. Maybe I will do that...

I was going to start talking to you about how my whole day was blown yesterday and how my post about the Pro Bowl was made to suffer because of my husband's need for a new TV and having to shuffle the whole house around to accommodate it. Grrr... Now I have a very good comment for you that just may cost me anything like $100 and you an avid fan... your artwork is wonderful but may I borrow that blade? How do you feel about being neutered? How DARE you even THINK of killing a unicorn. I am so offended by that! How fast can you send someone from admiration to loathing? Let's re-title this to a new training course: How to Lose Your RSS Subscribers 101 Your choice of religious preference is your business but you are very right, unicorns have NOTHING to do with religion. They are what the rest of the World calls "fantasy" fiction and, yes, they are on our side. More specifically, in the majority of pieces of art, they are on the side of fairies and beautiful women. Double offended. I'm tired, I have to spend yet another day away from my blog and, yes, I AM a Bitch! I worked hard at that title and that gives me license to complain. Nice picture for dart practice. I don't like Conan anymore either. The artwork is good and I will get over being upset with you, eventually. To slay a dragon is hurtful enough, but this...

Dude, serious good shizzy. Personally, however, I'd NEVER miss my morning dump on Saturday. There's just something about releasing that 2AM drunken White Castle. THe smell, the feel, etc. (sicko right?) BTW--what is that hanging down next to the unicorn's front right hoof?

Well the unicorn represents all that is superstitious... so in an abstract way the unicorn's impalement is the death of superstition no?

Jason- I would totally wear that shirt. Maybe you should post it for the next caption contest and give a shirt to the caption you pick. I think it needs a funny caption (of which I cannot think of).

@Atomic Andy
Be sure and send me a copy - I'll put it on the fridge. :)

@Evelyn
You've overlooked one very important point - nothing I do or say should ever be taken seriously. By my own admission, my blog is populated with nothing less than nonsense, absurdities, gibberish and untruths. I ask that no one take offense at anything I do/say here because in doing so, you give me far too much credit and probably just end up encouraging me in the end (which is always inadvisable). :)

@Allyn
That thing hanging down next to the unicorn's front right hoof is Conan's sheath for his sword. You and my wife share the same dirty mind.

@Dave
I guess that's one interpretation (for smart people). For me unicorns are more representative of Lisa Frank. Ick
