"daily dOOdle" weekly round-up.

A fish counter used by Fish and Game. This is the summer occupation of a friend of mine in Alaska. She stands on the bow of a skiff, while moving, and clicks on this thing when she sees a fish. This information is used for a fish census, to regulate what the fisherman can catch. She says she's a damn good fish counter and she gets to experience some of the most remote waterways in Alaska. I got to keep this counter because the clicker was

Decoupage, anyone? I was informed that I had previously drawn this glorious, paste-y product. Upon browsing through hundreds of doodles, I could not find it. But it's possible.

11/17/2011
A plastic toy zebra without a leg. This is not the first legless animal I have drawn and my best friend's house is an endless source. She has two young boys.

11/18/2011
It was dumping this morning. I kind of cheated on this one, because I drew this in the summer, fantasizing about my own cozy, little igloo. I'm not so hot on the heat.

11/19/2011
Another snowy morning. I like drawing snowflakes. This one took me a bit of time. I  think it would make a cool repeat pattern.

11/20/2011
An ceramic, orange sugar bowl.  Ryan and I discovered this sweet thrift shop, next to the food bank. I just liked the vibe and the people were, well,  people watching material. 

11/21/2011
Another Monday. I wanted to write the lyrics to a Karen Carpenter song, but it seemed, you know, too depressing. I've been enjoying this boxy font.

A deluxe Sanford black marker. A very familiar, unforgettable smell. I quite like it. I added some gray stripes, which usually I just stick to black, but I like the effect.

11/9/2011
I love spray paint. Can't go anywhere without a can of hi-gloss black.

11/10/2011
A miniature triangular carabiner. I like it's shape. They are super handy for clipping stuff onto other stuff, like a nalgene to a pack.

11/11/2011
A black bear beanie baby. My mom sent me this guy when I was  in Alaska. I think I shed a tear when I opened the package cuz' I love this little guy. I did a painting of it once. My mother has quite a collection of these beanies and I was surprised she let one go.

11/12/2011
A large piece of chalk. I've had it for maybe 10 years?  I tend to use dry erase boards these days, but still love chalk. I didn't realize how phallic it looked until I posted it. 

11/13/2011
Nigel Tufnel day was the day before. I remember seeing Spinal Tap with my older brothers on VHS, I think, not too long after it came out, or on HBO. Had a super huge crush on Christopher Guest. This drawing didn't get a huge response, think I could have drawn a more likeness with the eyes, maybe. But what's wrong with being sexy?

11/14/2011
I love xacto knives. I bought this one because it was kind of cute, but it is clumsy as all heck to use. Terrible design, don't mess with the O.G.

A loon feather. I found this on the beach in Yakutat, AK. I used to work on a dock and I really like to watch the seabirds, most.

11/2/2011
Dia De Meurtas. Celebrated Nov.1-2. The catrina.

11/3/2011
I like the shape of this boxed wine and I thought all the text would be fun to draw. By the time I reached the 7th reason, I was over it and I didn't want to buy this wine anymore. I don't care for the advertising tactic and what's wrong with corked wine? 

11/5/2011
Cock and Bull ginger beer. Great bottle design and yummy! Makes a delicious dark and stormy ( just add spiced rum). 

11/6/2011
A swiveling, multi head outlet. I own lots of these.

11/7/2011
Just a little reminder.

11/8/2011
I still buy boxed wine and I thought I would design my own box. I may make a tshirt design out of this one.

It's the final week of October. I really like to draw icky, creepy and weird stuff. Can't wait for next week. Happy Fall!!

10/24/2011
Skull hanging on rearview window in my car. It  has red eyes and I cut bangs in it's hair. It's been hanging their for  8 years or so.

10/26/2011
Slime goo. It's fun to draw.

10/27/2011
Candy corn row.

10/28/2011
Creepy clear mask. I have a box of gags and props that I use in my photo shoots.

10/29/2011
Jack O' Lantern face.

10/30/2011
Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice.  It was Winona's birthday the previous day.

10/31/2011
The Crimson Ghost. It was a serial movie from the 40's. The Misfits "borrowed" his image for their iconic skull logo.
