Evolution of Skyball 03.28.10

Evolution:
*Rock= hurts when it hits you
*Rock with rubber= hurts slightly less when it hits you
*Tennis ball= only bounces 25 feet. Failure.
*Scoby Ball= too young. Still a baby... See More
*Tennis ball with rockets= still not cool enough
BUT THEN!!!!
*SKYBALL= AWESOME! Bounces up to 75 feet!

For those of slightly different mind:

Creation:
*created Rock
*created Rubber, then told Man to put it on Rock
*created Tennis ball
*impregnated a Virgin who gave birth to a Scoby ball
*created Rockets, then told Man to put them on Tennis ball
*on the sixth day, He created Skyball
*then He rested, knowing He had created the epitome of awesome

Still inspired by and dedicated to the Pep Band <3

Skyball Sheep!! 03.27.10

Skyball Sheep!! is dedicated to the UVM Pep Band, some of the most wonderful people that I have ever met, and who I lived with for roughly a week. On said trip, a new game was invented--Skyball. The rules are far too complicated to explain at the moment, but I can show you a few videos to FULLY show the awesomeness of Skyball.

-in any small-sized room THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN BREAKABLE ITEMS
-enclosed spaces
-gymnasiums
-basketSkyball
-Skyball darts (basically throwing it at a wall and trying to hit stuff)
-try to hit the ceiling in any large/tall room by bouncing it really high

March Madness Bracket Sheep 03.10

What would happen if there were massive sheep wars to see which sheep-team was the greatest? Well... it would look something like this.

This is inspired by and dedicated to, obviously, March Madness and the NCAA. As a dedicated member of the Vermont Pep Band, I got to be one of a lucky few that got to travel around the midwest attending Vermont's basketball games. In a stroke of amazing luck, both the men's AND women's basketball team won their respective America East championship. It was a good season for Vermont..... until the men hit Syracuse. Syracuse was the #1 seed, and Vermont was #16. Needless to say, the odds were not good for us... and no matter how much we cheered, the boys lost a hard-fought battle.

The women's team beat Wisconsin in the first round (a VERY exciting game) but couldn't hold off Notre Dame IN Notre Dame's stadium. It's hard to beat a team in their own stadium. But I'll say right out--Notre Dame fans are really nice and very polite.

Anatomically Incorrect Plush Sheep 3.14.10

I enjoy anatomically incorrect plush toys. Even since I was little, I was drawn to ugly stuffed toys. If it is a life-sized horse that is 100% proportional to a real horse with all of the fixin's? No. If it has huge eyes, a super-long neck and stubby legs? LOVE IT! Even though I am technically an adult, you can probably tell by the many silly sheep drawings that I have not lost my grasp on childhood.

My favorites still to this day are Cattail, a brown horse whose neck is longer than his body, his legs are teeeeeny weeny, his eyes are squinty and he has cheeks like a chipmunk. I love him. I don't have a picture, but you can roughly imagine what he looks like.

Then there's Pudge--

And a recent addition to the family = Shepp the Sheep. He looks kind of like those Serta "counting sheep" from the commercials.

Beatles Series #1: Abbey Road Sheep. 02.28.10

Abbey Road Sheep! This is the first of a Beatles Series, because they are still one of the best bands EVER.

"Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by English rock band The Beatles. Though work on Abbey Road began in April 1969, making it the final album recorded by the band, Let It Be was the last album released before the Beatles' dissolution in 1970. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 in the United Kingdom, and 1 October 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was engineer, Alan Parsons was assistant engineer, and Tony Banks was tape operator.

Abbey Road is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time.^[1][2] Rolling Stone magazine named it the 14th greatest album of all time,^[3] even though the magazine initially gave the album a mixed reception: its 15 November 1969 issue features two very different reviews—a strongly negative one from Ed Ward, who particularly criticised its overproduction, and a rave review from John Mendelsohn." (wikipedia)

One of the greatest sins that can be committed is to answer "Who?" to the question, "You've heard of the Beatles, right?"

Sheep Drawn with My Eyes Closed. 02.26.10

I drew this sheep with my eyes closed, as you can probably believe.

I didn't really get the Princess-and-the-frog thing until I opened my eyes and looked right at it, though. I drew the sheep, and when I couldn't really think what else to depict, Kacy suggested "toad". Then, I imagined that it would still be a little empty, so I drew a heart.

Damn you, Disney. You've corrupted my brain. Damn you.
