The Strange Life of Artemus Foe – Concept Doodle (#StopBeards)

peterfoe


Ever wonder why hipsters try so hard to look like Victorian proles? I think it has something to do with the fact that this was the most recent time in history that the world seemed mysterious. Right before Antarctica was penetrated (gigrgity) by Amundsen and South America/Africa was mapped.

I think that there’s also a disconnect from actually producing things in this weird digital entertainment/economy that first world nations have going on.

So I guess I can’t be too harsh on the beardos. But my contention is the attitude. Cattiness and beards don’t match well friends.

Going to take me a while to produce an actual comic because I have a few weeks if not months of learning about perspective etc. since Im so shit at drawing. In the meantime I guess I’ll fill the ‘visual art’ void here by posting whimsical doodles with ‘witty’ captions.

Dudebro in the sketch above was modeled on the gent holding the shovel:

As you can see I am indeed shit at drawing. Time to knuckle down.

Artie – Steampunk Concept and Musical Theme


The recording is a voice memo I left to myself Thursday night after listening to Matt Elliots drinking songs and trying to fall asleep. I also added a slideshow of hastily sketched concept art set to a little musical theme I worked out on acoustic guitar.


Story Introduction

Artie grew up in a grimy city. His toys always broke. The children of the better off would often mock him. He vowed that one day he would break all their toys.

He was good with his hands and a passionate tinkerer. A hobby that came from equal parts necessity and genius. With this gift, he would make toys, toys which soon sprang to life with the minutest whirring of gears.

When the machine wars came and society became even more bifurcated Artie would finally get to break all their toys.

Of his chief companions and tools is Cecilia a mechanical spider with highly dextrous arms abuzz with a Luddite itch.

Post. Grunge. Punks. (Webcomic) – Harshey’s! (hypothetical fatty)

PGP - Joey and Al - Hypothetical Fatty Take Two SB1


As a former smoker and nebbish reader of medical literature long ago in a land far away, where I fancied becoming a neurologist…

I must say that I do not condone it.

Medical School is terrible and produces self-important shills for the pharmaceutical…o that’s another post (and seriously go to Med School – unless you don’t want to) but yes…. Smoking is bad. Tres bad. You’ll feel like you’re drowning as you die after just one fag and you’ll smell like garbage too! After just one fag! Seriously though despite the hyperbolic anti-smoking propoganda’s silliness…SMOKING IS BAD…Quit…don’t start…

That nebbish guilt subdued…

A couple of beers though. That’s vital. That vitamin B!
