I recently ended up watching Mick Foley’s 1995 match with Terry Funk, and well, to be honest, it was one of the most compelling, and honestly kinda terrifying things I had seen in a while. Unrelentingly violent, and with a sense of a honest, desperate struggle. I ended up reading about him, and found out that he’s a genuinely great human being, and from what I can tell from interviews, other wrestling clips, and samples from his writing I’ve read, a really ernest and sweet dude.
I did this really quickly, and it’s super rough, but I really wanted to capture that aspect of him in a kinda innocent way.Drawing this made me really happy, and I’ve been out of it a lot recently.

No Bullshit, I found this written in my copy of The Book of Mormon.

Why do you do this to me, Brett?

A SHITTY DRAWING OF JOHN HODGMAN

I don’t know dude, I just thought it would be really funny to draw the Swedish Chef in corpse paint. And then it kinda just ended up looking like some sort of bizarro combination of Floyd and Janice.
Whatevs, doesn’t matter. Norway all the way.

So, I’m reblogging this thing I did a few years ago because just got to see The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, one of my absolute favorite films, in a theater for the first time.That movie always gives me this overwhelming, powerful sense joy and excitement that I cannot shake for days after viewing.
So here’s a picture I drew a couple years ago.

So decided to try to do a really quick portrait of Roger Ebert.There was a period of my life, when I was an adolescent, where I would watch At The Movies every single week, to hear his opinion on things, and to find out about movies. In the last decade, while he battled cancer, and dealt with surgical complications, the explosion of writing that he did was amazing. To call him prolific wouldn’t even come close.While I didn’t always agree with what he said (including his absolute hatred of the movie The Usual Suspects), he almost always seemed like a thoughtful and usually kind man, and, more importantly, a person with a deep and abiding love for an artform, who wanted to share that enthusiasm with the world, and to inspire that in others.

NEW PROJECT
So a few days ago, I found a gigantic stake of pieces of papers that I’d torn out of a Russian workbook from a few years ago. 
My original intention was to post them all in an entry titled “Я не говорю по-русски” (I don’t Speak Russian), the joke being that this was supposed to serve as an explanation why, despite having taken classes in the language for two years, and minored in Russian studies in college, I can’t to save my life, say more than a few very basic phrases, like Hi, How are are you, My name is Rory, and I like American Blue Jeans, Levis are the best blue jeans.
Then it occurred to me that, chances are, hundreds, if not thousands of people on Tumblr with old notebooks full of little scribbles and things that are either going to sit on a shelf or in a box being ignored, or are going to be thrown away, and I had an idea.
I’m starting a blog for the purpose of archiving and cataloging little halfthoughtout pieces and ideas that you might have.
If you like the idea, and would like to contribute, just follow one of the numerous links back and subscribe, submit and share.
I’m still working on giving the page a decent layout, and for right now it’s kinda barebones, but I have around 60 images queued up. Let’s do this.
