The Year of Lost Doodles
- Leaf got busy with lots of activities, homework, sports, etc. and can't find as much time to doodle.
- I also took a break from doodling and tried to write some scifi stories.
- My laptop and laptop case were stolen in San Francisco. This was a complete bummer because not only did I lose a few completed doodles (including one about Willy Wonka) but I also lost a stack of original artwork. Gah!
Here is an old doodle from the junk heap. Better things to come!

The Closet
This one was my idea. I drew about a dozen wobbets (Leaf called them wubbets), but only ended up with four. Maybe the others will appear in other drawings? Nothing worse than an infestation of wobbets. Notice how Leaf also discovered the stamp tool in Gimp. His Mr. Wubble has a strange fondness for green peppers.

The Hacker
This was Leaf's idea. I doubt he got the idea from seeing me geek at the computer all the time. More likely it came from watching War Games a month or so ago. Anyway, I decided it was more interesting to have somebody "hack" somebody else. I had a lot of problems with mine, the poem, the characters, etc. And then I forgot Jack's ankles! As for Leaf's drawing, he is pretty much freewheeling in Gimp. I help him scan and set up a color layer and then set him loose. It's fun to see what he comes up with.

Myself on a Shelf
This one was my idea. . . Good for a rainy day. I'm messing around with white backgrounds and nearly monochromatic details. Leaf is fighting a stomach bug, but he still has an intense process which includes scanning and editing with Gimp/iPhoto while typing his poems in the Imac's notepad program. I corrected some spelling and added commas, but that's it. It's amazing how good he is with Gimp, better than me at some things, and he is even starting to work with layers.
