here's some of my artwork. really, this is how i draw. stop laughing! >:O i'm not that artistically inclined.

8.18.05, monkeying around at work...

my very first monkey sketched with paint

monkey peeking out to say hi

this is my personal favorite. i call it monkey at work... he's frustrated =( i identify with this monkey

monkey leaving work, he's excited!

the big boss monkey slacking off at work

tough decisions... btw, that's pack of skittles in the vending machine

dancing monkey with a cane and top hat, as requested by julie

julie also requested a shocked monkey look and she suggested i draw a murdering monkey =O then i thought of a robber monkey... and then when i showed steph, she showed me this (which she had previously shown me before) so i think i subconsciously stole this person's t-shirt idea, my bad

my masterpiece...monkeys playing poker! this picture alone took me nearly 2 hours! man, it's hard drawing monkeys to look different! plus, drawing that poker game took so much effort!!

1.31.06, pictionary with the new whiteboard...

here's a pig. i won a drawing contest in 1st grade drawing pigs... unfortunately, my drawing skills have not improved since then. (plus, the contest was a sham. after drawing your picture, you just reached into a box and if you pulled out a marked sheet of paper, you won)

animal #1. take a guess... what is this animal? (answers below)

animal #2.

animal #3.

animal #4.

animal #5.

animal #6.

animal #7.

so the answers are:
1. hippo... not sure if hippos have teeth like that
2. giraffe
3. lion... wasn't sure beyond the mane, what a lion's head looks like
4. bunny... this was based on what i remember of babs and buster bunny... unfortunately, it just looks like a grandpa bunny with a bushy beard now
5. some antlered animal... buck? reindeer? who knows
6. bear... based upon what a teddy bear looks like
7. penguin... once again, the head of the animal messes me up...

finally, some art by other people (namely talida, tina, and julie):

note: may not be suitable for young children. it all started with tina sketching lil george... and then deciding to transform it into a picture of me (hey! i'm insulted!!). talida drew in someone trying to kill george, which slowly morphed into a teenage mutant ninja turtle (which suddenly became isaac)... which led to the thing having a turtle shell... and boobs, five legs, and poop coming out of its hand-tail. finally, it was decided that tina was really the bully that picked on george so teenage mutant ninja turtle formerly known as isaac suddenly became tina...

talida started drawing people... here's talida's self portrait, with herself holding a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. i'm holding a taiko drum and 2 drumsticks and sticking out my tongue. julie has sprees in one hand and a ring on the other. isaac has a mouse and a laptop in hand. tina has a baseball bat and a drawing of a woman... if you look carefully, you may notice something about the picture. and then there's bryan and may... i guess bryan has a football and is wearing glasses so that looks kiiiinda like him? yea... that may be the weirdest picture yet

i like julie's drawing. it looks like a cartoon. unfortunately, it's supposed to be of me... and i am not like a cartoon, no siree, bob!

finally, talida tried to make my animals look like they were at a party. does that make this "penguin" look more like a penguin? or perhaps a man wearing a suit and holding a balloon?
