A disturbing look into the sketchbooks and random drawings of Scott Quick, "Mid-Missouri's James Joyce". All drawings copyright me, Scott Quick, "Mid-Missouri's James Joyce", etc.
More goof-off drawings from the same set as earlier (done while avoiding work at my animation job some years ago). My supervisor was a real Disney fan and kept several photocopied Disney model sheets next to his desk. He was also a real straight-arrow, handsome, positive, church youth-leader.... we were natural enemies. These perversions of his model sheets were meant solely to put a burr under his saddle blanket. I don't think he ever noticed them.
From the same collection as below, (special thanks to the MacArthur Foundation for loaning them back to me). I have no recollection of doing this, but rest assured, it was probably meant to annoy someone. It looks vaguely like John Travolta from Battlefield Earth- I didn't see the movie, by the way, as I was told if you viewed it you would become a Scientologist!
More drawings done while I should've been working at an animation studio in 2000 (see yesterday's post for the full story). This is Darryl ( name changed to protect the innocent). "Darryl" was a smart guy but had emotional issues. I always thought he'd lose it and run amok someday, so I imagined how many tranquilizer darts it would take to bring him down. This looks just like him from behind- honest!
I recently unearthed a cache of forbidden drawings done while working for a small animation studio in New Jersey called Hypnotix, around 2000-01. Working hunched over a lightbox for 10 hours a day can be nerve-wracking. The main concern for an animator is staying "on model", everything has to look consistent- whether it's Daria for MTV or the Deer Avenger. For the entertainment of your fellow animators, and for your own sanity, a small collection of amazingly immature drawings would start to grow beside your drawing board. I'm not proud of it, but if anything during the past year or so, I've tried to be honest. So for the next few days, relax, hold your nose, and enjoy this showcase intended to cheese off my then supervisor .... and his supervisor, etc.
Step 1-Feeding: Feed your pet twice it's normal amount of food. Follow that with a few of her favorite treats. It helps if she's been alone all day in the house .... she'll be bored and open to suggestion. Step 2- Intoxication: Follow treats with a small saucer of liquor. Boone's Farm or Night Train works great because of the high sugar content .... she'll lap it right up! Step 3- Boredom: Sit quietly in your chair with your drawing materials close at hand. At this point she's so bloated and confused that she's sure to lay down. She'll face you because of the threat of more treats. Avoid making eye contact as she'll try to garner sympathy and get you to ease her suffering. Now she's yours to draw at your leisure! This method works reasonably well with children too!
