A doodle in response to an email alerting me of some new Stranger Things 4 assets added to work’s style guide drive… here, I’m depicting my inner screwball demons ready to inconvenience my colleagues by taunting to delete said files.
Why? Because I can. Quite easily, in fact!
This laughin’ out loud Chewbacca bust is a full-on scaled-up version of a Post-it Note doodle that’s been stuck to my iMac at work for almost 4 years.
And if you don’t what this piece of garbage is referencing, here’s a clue.
For me, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was one of the all-time inspirational movies of 1999.
"Inspirational" in terms of how gut-wrenchingly BAD it was that I managed to conjure up so many gags in the aftermath of the film's 1st screening - for which I literally ran out of the theater to as soon as the end credits rolled up in the likely event I was to hurl - and get published in Starlog magazine.
This one, published in '99 - issue #268, pg.22 - pokes fun at Lucasfilm's ultimate bad movie from 1986, Howard, The Duck.
To this day, I've never been able to sit through the entire Howard movie - in all, I may have only seen 20 minutes total.
It's hard to believe, but... I do have my dignity.
Update (November 4, 2021):
I was recently labelled as "ignorant" in response to a cartoon I did years ago ridiculing Howard The Duck and its lousiness.
Ignorant, am I?!
Well… that may be true.
So, to further antagonize those fowl masses, I'm wearing a headdress made entirely of torn-out Howard The Duck comic covers.
The fact that there are "Howard, The Duck" movie defenders out there surprises me most of all!!
There is a room at work where everybody neglects to turn off the lights… so Boss Man tasked me to draw up one of my cartoony signs to hang in its doorway.
Yup… that’s Mr. Boss Man swingin’ that fist in the air.
A morning Birthday doodle for a resilient designer I used to work with during the, what I call, Classic Bauhaus days.
Oh, and the whole bear + honey + bees thing?
I started off sketching a crude-looking muffin… somehow, a grizzly bear took shape and, well, I couldn’t stop wherever my pencil was taking me.
Quick scribble for National Donut Day.
A little something that preoccupied most of my fee time this weekend.
A little overboard with, well, EVERYTHING(!!), but everybody was happy with the end result… except for me, of course (as I hate everything I do).
And all proceeds went to animal welfare, so WIN-WIN!
It's another German-themed* birthday doodle for Nutley(N.J.)'s #1 mom.
(* the previously-explained in-joke can be seen here.)
Featuring parody Pokémon character "PikaPoo."
[1] JOY; [2] INDIGNATION; [3] FRUSTRATION; [4] UTTER CONTEMPT.
Loosely penned while striving to fabricate Pokémon-slash-Valentine's Day sleepwear apparel and, in typical BortQ convention, flamed out in the end (with a side order of self-loathing)… as depicted in the above Instagram screengrab.
yyyyyyyyeah... blame your gluttonous compulsions on the Easter Bunny Twins...
Another fun project, just in time for Easter.
The company's idea: hand out a hot cross bun 6-pack to every worker, with a sticker slapped on top reading copious amounts of appreciative words penned by the head honcho.
"Eugene 'Boss Bun'" - the sentient spiced baked good - was added for a little merriment to the whole thing.
Additionally, and on my own volition, I drew up 3 smaller bonus stickers that were to be slapped on alongside the main sticker.
2 of the 3 supplemental stickers found their way onto the hot cross bun packs... take a guess which of these didn't make the cut.
Quick little weekend doodle as we soon say fare-thee-well to the company's number-crunchin' accountant guy, Ken.
Originally doodled up August 29, 2020 as a comment to a Facebook post by TV announcer and donut connoisseur Jim Cutler.
In short, Jim recalls a particular haunting elementary school memory where his coveted box of 8 Crayola color crayons was upstaged by a fellow student Melissa "somebody" with her brand new 64 color box!
There's a whole video about it - well, a segment of (play at 4:09) - the actual video below is more to do with banned Crayola colors:
The Pet Rock™ - the limited marketing marvel from the mid-70s. No matter the species, it just goes to show, a pet IS FOR LIFE!
Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne & Neil deGrasse Tyson might disagree with the scientific findings of Dunkin' Donuts:

"Something Gelatinous Slimes This Way" (2009).
An über short film I animated on my iPhone 3G back in the heady days of the late 2000s.
I should clarify: the hand drawn frames were composed on the iPhone; the soundtrack and film grains were added quite recently.
Don't you hate it when you throw in a Pop-Tart, set the toaster to "extra-dark", and then THIS happens?
Mama ünd Papa never took the kids seriously when declaring they'd bore a hole through their heads if they DIDN'T go to Disneyland... the resolve of Gertrüde, Heimlich & Hähnchenflügel was not to be underestimated.
And that's why NASA doesn't call it "7 minutes of sunshine, lollipops and rainbows."
Covid has taken from us the inalienable right, nay, duty(!) to cough on people without consideration…
But, I tell ya', once this whole pandemic thing is over....
