Crazy Frog Legs

Of the people in my office, about 30 percent actually got this joke.

Hopefully my hit rate will be better with the collection of good looking, savvy young pop-culture mavens who visit this site.



Heh.

It's been a while since the last cartoon, so let me wax lyrical for a time and fill you in on the random wanderings of my (for want of a better word) "mind".

Firstly, I sometimes meet people who have seen this site, and ask how I draw the cartoons. They're surprised to learn that there's no trick to it -- it really is an actual whiteboard.

So I thought I'd take a second to review my "creative process" [muffled laugh] for you all.

So.. it's the whiteboard in the entry area of the office I work in. I use whatever crappy whiteboard pen is lying around. If I'm lucky there's another colour as well as blue. It takes about one or two minutes to do the drawing. Sometimes I'll do a little sketch first to work out how to fit stuff in.

Then I take a photo with my lame digital camera, and do a crop and "Enhance Color" in Microsoft Office Picture Manager (which is what comes up when I double-click on the jpg photo).

Upload to Flickr.com, write pithy message on Blogger.com, and it's done.

Secondly, I started a blog of stuff that, erm, i am not impressed by. Read the first post here, if my host is online. There may be *slightly* more swearwords in that blog than this one.

And thirdly, I recently received a t-shirt emblazoned with one of my koala cartoons that someone had ordered for me from my own CafePress store. I've pretty much ignored my store since the day I set it up, but the shirt I got is better quality than I expected -- so if anyone has a particular request for something they'd like to see in the store, lemme know while I have a bit of motivational momentum going :).

Ok so that's *way* too much reading for you illiterates that just come here to want to look at the pics. Ooo.. did I type that in or just think it?
