Drawing, pen on paper, digital coloring, 500 x 500 pixels, 2009
It's hard to believe that a year has passed since the internet gave birth to this site. In honor of the special occasion, I've created a new celebratory header and tidied up the images on the side bars.
I'm so proud of my little one-year-old that I bought an iPhone as a birthday present! Now I'll be able to make mobile updates from anywhere. Work, home, on the bus, it doesn't matter. I'll be snapping pictures, podcasting, cutting deals. This is like getting called up to the big leagues. VERY EXCITING!
It's sure been a wild year. Here are ten notable posts from the last twelve months:
- Vladimir Putin's shirtless camping trip became a Fantasy Art epic.
- Kelsee and Brittny discussed boy problems in a real life comic.
- The patented "Tips for Thriving in a Recession" helped turn the economy around.
- Population growth in California was explored with flash animation and doodles.
- One Hundred Ronald McDonalds delivered a week's worth of nightmares.
- Falcor the Luck Dragon went berserk in a trashy web video.
- Eight great-great-great grandfathers battled for the title of Greatest Beard (start from the bottom and work up).
- Taft High School in the Bronx got an inspiring new mascot.
- Three weird looking dogs battled for the crown at the Westminster Dog Show.
- The Joy of Christmas Re-Mix became an instant holiday classic.
If you are new to the site, you should also check out the collaborative pieces in The Buddy System series. Because this is a community blog, anyone can send their art projects to aquietmoment@gmail.com. You don't have to worry about making bad art because I don't publish anyone's last name. Future employers won't be able to find your sketches of penises and devils.
Happy Birthday Blog - I wasn't sure what you get a blog for its birthday, so here's a digital painting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNDsbBMT0eI
