Doodles #2

Here are some more doodles that I made last night at Yaffa Cafe. Every time I go there to draw, some group of drunk kids thinks I'm drawing them. This time they were right.

Lucky Seven

I was at a mic on St. Marks, late last night, when it came time for the raffle portion of this particular show. Normally they'd draw a ticket number and the prize (a beer and a book) would go to that person. But this time the host thought screw it and said "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. I'll put my hand behind my back and you guess". Then she put one hand behind her back. The first three guesses were "7!", "6!", and "8!". Sure, can't go wrong.

But it got me thinking, if you have an extra finger they usually remove it when you're a baby. It's one of the few cases where they mutilate you to make you normal. It's kind of like watching Dirty Dancing in that way.

Doodles #1

I like to doodle. This is what I was drawing last night on the subway after a show. I missed my stop, and didn't realize it until two stops later, but I know that that miserable subterranean wait was worth it when I look at his hooks for hands.

Ron Perlman is a giant Tom Waits

Case in point. Plus Tom ALWAYS sings about living in a hat. Fix my shoes, Tom.

Plus, Ron Perlman used to star in a show that claimed that he lived in the sewer. Impossible.

How about didgeridon't.

I was at a diner in the East Village last night, getting some writing done, when a white dude came in and started to play a didgeridoo.

How about didgeridon't. I know the instrument is underrepresented, but maybe that's because it sounds like a whale spitting up.

Really, I can tell that you're in touch with nature from your neck tattoo, but save "Gaia's tuba" for when you save the world by partying in the desert.

Thanks,
Erik

The Owl and the Pussycat #1

Here's a painting that I was commissioned to do. It's from the first portion of Edward Lear's "The Owl and the Pussycat".

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea

In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Yikes, might as well just call it Hooters and Pussy. Boo-ya!

Cheers!
