What's brown and STICKY?



If you like this you can wear it or drink from it; t-shirts and mugs available in my Zazzle Shop.

MORE Funny One Liners.

Okay, here's another FREE drawing lesson for you. It's easy, all you have to do is follow these simple steps. Ready?

We're going to start with a few simple lines. Just grab whatever it is you use to draw, and go for it - wiggly, straight or bent. Lines have a hidden personality, so let's discover it.


Next you just add some dots...put them anywhere you wish!


A few extra little dashes here and there to refine the pose...


Words magically put everything into context.


And a splash of color to give it that extra zing!


WARNING: Try to work quickly; you don't want to miss your dead line.



Lemmeno how it goes!

PS - When I googled Tarzan's cry, the 17 year old daughter said it sounded like "auto-tune on crack". Which it kinda does.

Funny One LINERS.

Folks often ask me how I draw like I do. Well, it's easy and you can do it too. I put together this FREE drawing lesson just for you.

It all starts with a simple line. There's a lot of attitude in a simple line, okay? So just grab a crayon and draw some - bendy, straight or wiggly.



Then add some dots...



...and a few strokes to give it some body. Haha. See what I did there? BODY.



Words always add a little "je ne sais quoi".



A bit of colour to make it pop, and you're done.



See? It's easy! But BEWARE: too many clichés and you will end up with a flat line.



You're very welcome!

MORE Funny One Liners? Yes please.

The ULTIMATE in MAN Stripper Footwear.

Part 4.
WARNING: Talking goldfish.

Now that we've established how you can tell a naked stick figure from a clothed one, it has to be said that @WhyIsDaddyCryin's stylish MAN Stripper footwear are my new favourite thing.



A big high-five to @BetterHalfMommy for suggesting the gold fish and to @suzspetals for the crocs.

Maybe I should make these into a t-shirt or mug or something...it would deffo be a conversation piece. I mean these are "WTF...?!?" material for sure.

I never intended it but this turned into an awesome series.  No idea what to make of it? You need to check out the MAN Strippers in Part 1.

Stickie Nakedness AGAIN.

Part 3.

WARNING: Possibly more nudity. Maybe.

In the last post, I asked how one can tell if a stick figure is naked or not. I'm just gonna rip the bandaid off this one and go for it. The thing is, if the stick figure looks like this:

...then it's pretty much impossible to say. Why? Because there's no point of reference! There's nothing 'missing'!

Indulge me. If we dress the stick figure in ONLY a pair of pants, look what happens:


He's suddenly topless!

And if we dress him in ONLY a t-shirt...Voilà! Pants Optional!*


*Pants Optional Friday was all the Why is Daddy Crying's idea BTW.

Finally, if we dress our stick figure in NOTHING but stylish footwear, he is naked simply by virtue of the absence of the rest of his clothes.


Anyhow, after that last post there was some, uh, discussion on Twitter about the scale and relative sizes of certain stick men. So just to clear things up, I've done this character line-up. It's worth noting here that objects are actually larger than they appear in the mirror.


There's @jpJeremy, @WhyIsDaddyCryin, @JosephGier and me. I threw Pickle Weasel in for fun cuz @VlasicStork wanted to see him in a bow-tie and it tied in really nicely with the whole Chippendales thing. And @kathym425's suggestion of Uggs was genius for hawtness levels. 

Everyone has awesomely stylish footwear!! Yes, those are goldfish - blame @BetterHalfMommy. And crocs (@suzspetals' idea). With twine (that was me).

And so it goes that the dude has been naked everytime I've drawn him. Except for that one time when he's wearing a Snuggie.... or those Spiderman PJ's...

If you love those shoes, then go to Part 4.

Naked STICK Figures.

Part 2.

WARNING: Some more nudity. Sort of.

Last we left them, the MAN Strippers were shakin' it to the dulcet tones of Tom Jones...
















And so @WhyIsDaddyCryin crashes yet another of my blog posts. Pretty sure @jpJeremy and @JosephGier will like him once they figure out why he's crying and why he's always going on about Pants Optional Fridays on his side-splitter of a daddy-blog.

Shameless plug - go vote for "Why Is Daddy Crying?" and he'll be your best friend and invite you to dinner. You may end up locked in the basement for a few weeks but it'll prolly be worth it just for the great memories.

Is he #UsGuys material? Who knows! But let me ask you this - how can you tell if a stick figure is naked or not?  
Find out how in Part 3.
