"WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKIN'!!"
(Although this one might qualify for "What the hell was I smokin'!")







One from my early, early, early years.....
Look at it, contemplate it, go deep and introspective...laugh out loud and wrap fish in it...whatever.
But try to give me some insights as to just what the HELL I was thinkin' when I created this doozy:





*As always, a title would be nice, too.

Title: Monkey needs Ducolax

What were you thinking?: "I wonder what a monkey looks like when it needs to take a dump and can't"

"" My inner sexual animal stalks within the barren woods under moonlight ""

title: ratboy in the leg-shaped forest.


what were you thinking? "hmm, my pet rat is angry, and i have a thing for legs."

oh honey this one's easy. you were getting in touch with your repressed memories of the time you were abducted by aliens and taken to their giant 'playgound in the sky' facility.

it's healthy to let this stuff out, btw. keep it up

Title: "Egg on Toast - a Discussion Paper".

While I have often wondered that, I wasn't wondering that at the time I created this...

I think we have a winner...

(altho it doesn't tell me what I was thinking...)

I think you were thinking about your future avatar.

"A Mystique on Arid Borders"

what I see in it is man reaching back to some
primeordeal essence when confronted with or
attacked by something that has been waiting
to come so long that it's had time to acquire
metaphysical proportions.

This is here left out of the picture, but it
is (whatever you call it) what the figure in
your drawing seems to hark back from and bark
at.

I say this because the body of the "animal"
has human-like shapes more so than an animal's.
Yet the head represents a more basic organism,
perhaps a primate.

Plus, the way it is placed before, or amids
those spiked branches reaching up symbolises
a retreat and a defence at the same time.

It's bodily movement is one of retreat but
the background is threatening on it's own,
and seems to shield the figure.

Hmm, that's pretty cool lookin'...I think I'll use it as my avatar!

Yep, I always liked that guy!

Byron said:

Thank yew...

I'll fill in the actual origins of the drawing later...just want to see what it sparks/triggers/instigates in others first. I actually can't say what I was thinking/feeling at the time I drew it, often when I do one of these threads the responses often connect with a very real truth or insight that I hadn't considered at the time...

I don't know but I'm sceeeeerd.....

Ah, good!!...My illustration has had its intended effect then!! BWAHHAHAHAA!!..

Actually I think it is great, and it fits very well on the book I'm reading (George R.R. Martin's A game of thrones).

Your artwork would very well fit into fantasy.

Byron said:

AH!!!!!

Title : Decay

You were thinking, my god I wait ages for a bus then 6
come along at once.

Title: abandoned

I see an alien baby who was abandoned and he still cries for its mother

Had you just watched 2001 A Space Oddity .. or some weird episode of Star Trek or something? Seems very "evolutionary" to me.

Wow...some great responses so far.

What's the book about??...Abandoned baby aliens??..lol

Title: Time For a Wank.

Motivation: Watching "The Howling" after drinking too much coke.

The title is "Gollum left his Precious in the Misty Mountains!"
