The other night I was sitting in front of the TV, doodling on a piece of paper, and the doodles eventually mushroomed into this self-portrait. It’s 45K, just warning those of you on slower connections.

I am so proud of this thing that I’ve taped it to my door. And it’s even cooler because it came out of nowhere.

So what cool stuff have you done on a whim? Got anything to show?

Wow! That’s a cool portrait! BTW, do you always have those tiny ladies on your shoulders? Proud things I’ve done recently? Hmm…I recently got my first C program running (the oh-so-classic “Hello World” for you computer geeks), but I can’t draw for shit (not that I’d want to anyway)…

For some reason, your portrait reminded me of [this](http://www.e-sheep.com/almostguy/)

That is pretty damn cool, **Dao**. It would be awesome to have a couple tiny ladies around, if for no other reason to freak people out. Kind of like the two Mothra priestesses (or whatever they were).

That is so cool! I’m jealous. I have a hard time drawing stick figures. My kids always ask me to draw flowers for them when they’re coloring and the only flowers I can draw that actually _look_ like flowers are tulips and daisy’s!
