Just [scribble] what you see, don't let anyone say it's wrong.
I am healthy again! Thank you all for your well wishes. My flu was short lived, but severe. I haven't been that sick with just a head cold and a fever for a very long time. Ah, well. The important thing is that I feel better. I watched more daytime television than I care to remember and a lot of rental movies (Recommended: King of California, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?. Recommended if you have nothing else to watch: Waitress. Not recommended: Dan in Real Life. Please, if you have any respect for yourself and your time, stay away!: Darjeeling Limited, Into the Wild).
Sorry for the non-art digression. The good news is that I am well. The sad news is that I was so sick I couldn't pick up a pen to draw some awesome fever-induced hallucinogenic scribbles. I am back in the saddle, now, though and realized that I don't need a fever to draw hallucenogenic scribbles! My drawings sort of have that great "fever induced" quality to them anyway.
The scribble I'm posting today was drawn when there was a lot of talk on various art blogs about the importance of drawing what you see. I felt a little guilty that I hadn't been drawing more things inspired by real life. The last time I painted or drew a still life was in college - and that was only because I had to. The last time I painted from a picture was ... about a year ago in a painting that I never finished. All of that explains the word balloon. The few of you who know me in real life may think that this looks like someone from my real life. That's just a coincidence and you should not read into it. It adds no extra meaning to the scribble. It just turned out that his mouth looked weird so I turned it into some facial hair. And to you whom this scribble resembles: I mean no offense; the resemblance here just wasn't intentional.

I'm glad you are feeling better, but I don't see any scribble with this post. Did you change my viewing settings or did you forget the scribble?
(My original comment went on and on about how much I hated Into the Wild, but I decided to save my rant for my own post I'm planning on that crappy, crappy movie.)
I did forget to change the settings. Thanks.
(If you post anything on Into the Wild, I'll leave you a long, ranty comment on how much I hated that movie, too.)
