Bacon POWER!

It's the weekend! Trouble waking up those sleepy teenagers before morning turns into afternoon? BACON POWER will give them the olfactory nudge they need!


Works every time. Can't guarantee they'll stay awake, but prop them up with a vacuum cleaner or a rake and they should be fine.

Use Bacon POWER sparingly; too much bacon is exceedingly unhealthy.
This drawing was inpsired by @80sgirlforever and @TrenDspa who were actually having trouble waking themselves up.

Don't let the wheels fool ya; she's just like everyone else, and does practically everything that people without wheelchairs do. I actually asked her if there was anything she couldn't do because of her wheelchair and all she said was, "I can't mow the lawn". Hmmm...that's what I say too.....

#MoyleVegasWedding

Sonya and Dan are getting hitched!!! I've followed both @SL22268 and @DanMoyle for some time but I didn't even know they knew each other, much less being engaged to be married.

So Sonya asked me to draw a lil' something as a gift for Dan....and then Dan turned around and also asked me to draw something for their wedding. Are these two meant for each other or what?!?

At 5 PM PST they'll say "We Do" in Vegas, and around 8 PM they'll prolly see this post.


I did the drawings, but all of Twitter loves a love story - especially one that has a hashtag in it!


CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS AND MORE!

Dont' be shy about 'signing' this card. And, if you click this "tweet" button, it'll end up on Twitter with the hashtag #MoyleVegasWedding, which the bride and groom are using to tweet and track their impending nuptials. It's a way of giving them a little wedding present.

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.

About KLOUT.

So I'm on Twitter and I often see tweets with the word "KLOUT" in them. It's always "KLOUT this", and "KLOUT that", and "I'm so worried such-and-such will affect my KLOUT score" and stuff. And I'm like, what is this KLOUT thing everyone is talking about?!?

Now when I want answers* to my questions, I ask my Twitter following. And if it's social media related, I hashtag #UsGuys. All you need to know about #UsGuys right now is that they are remarkable and they like male strippers and, uh... cake.
*not necessarily the right answers, but that's what makes it fun.

So my tweet went something like this:


A very helpful #UsGuys tweep named @barrypeters suggested I go look at @SeanMcGinnis' vlog post about The Problem With Klout. So off I go, tarum tarum tarum. I watch the video, I read the post and I learn that people who check their KLOUT 'score' always change the way they behave online afterwards. They go from being genuine, to being oh-so-influential. Which then supposedly somehow renders the KLOUT score meaningless.

Do I now know what the heck KLOUT is?


No! I do not!

Being essentially curious, I just go to the dang KLOUT site and sign in... You're curious too, huh? You want to click on it to find out how you score don't you? Haha.

I see this:

I'm like, what? My "score" is 66 and they say that's "high"? Hmmmm. 66 is not high people, 100 is high. Am I wrong? Okay 66 out of what? It doesn't say and I'm too impatient to dig.

Then I read this:


What? I'm a thought leader? Cool!

But then, my eyes fall on this:


So apparently I'm really influential on the subjects of Cinderella, Hello Kitty and Renee Zellweger. Three things about which I'm fairly certain I've never discussed anything online or IRL ever. Well ok maybe I did say something about Hello Kitty one time on Facebook. But still.

What does it mean???

I dunno. All I care about is that it made me laugh out loud to draw this:


Oh yeah, I did notice that these two buttons are all over the KLOUT website.


Gee. Any idea what that's all about...?

UPDATE! June 6, 2011:
Since posting this, my Klout score went up to 69. Which is a very auspicious number, I'm sure you'll agree. Was I doing anything different in my online behaviour?

SlingBABE.

I hurt my left arm somehow....but miraculously I can still draw.


@FameRee said I was SlingBABE and I liked that.

Slings are cool. I remember wearing a fake one when I was a kid, pretending I had a broken arm....I hope it gets better soon though. It's really slow typing with one hand.

Look at the nice share buttons. Now click them.
