What started off as a perfectly normal drawing of a boy ended up like this after I left it on the blackboard for just a bit too long. I love my friends :D

A Smile Looks Good On Anybody

I basically abandoned the whole template this time around. Perhaps more (and by more I mean more than one person) people will actually print out these flyers and spread them around now that I’ve done away with the Chinese description. But the address of my Tumblr is here to stay, muhahaha.

For printing: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/737/asmilelooksgoodonanybod.png

Oh, and if anyone is interested in collaborating/participating, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or shoot me an email!

edit: quick question from the grammatically inept Chinese kid: should it be “anybody” or “everybody”?

Taking a break from Spread A Little Joy-related posts, here’s a birthday card I made for a good friend of mine. He sits next to me in class and has been enduring my, um, eccentric tendencies for 2 months now. So yes, that friendly-looking bloke behind him is supposed to be me.

For the story behind the creepo face, here’s a screencap from our favorite anime: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/2788/screencap.png

Another week, another Spread A Little Joy flyer!

High-res version for printing: http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2355/spreadalittlejoy22.png

Or you can always make one yourself!

I’ve started a small project called Spread A Little Joy. I’ll be making a series of flyers with feel-good messages (as well as those silly little drawings I make of course) printed on them, and putting them into my neighbors’ letter boxes. I live in an apartment building, and don’t really know any of my neighbors… but that’s kind of the point. I like the idea of them finding these flyers in their mail without any idea who I am, and hopefully, be pleasantly surprised that somebody they don’t know has taken the time to do this.

The little blurb at the bottom is in Chinese, but if you are so inclined, here’s the file for you to print a few flyers out and distribute them yourself: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6434/prints.png

I FINALLY had one of my designs printed on a t-shirt!

I’m so glad I finally did it, but the sad things is I got the size wrong. As you can tell, I’m not exactly the muscular type, but even I find it too small. Oh well.

I’m not saying I would do it, but IF this shirt was on sale, would you buy it?

Just kidding. Chair puns FTW!

This will probably be only time that “I” appear in a strip. Most of the gags I’ve come up with only involve conversations between chairs.

Yes, I can feel your excitement.

Thoughts? (I’ll improve! Promise!)

The first strip is already done. Just waiting for the right time to publish it.

Oh, how desperately out of ideas I must be when I post not one, but two photos of such a simple doodle!

Fear not. I know I procrastinate (A LOT), but I do have some good stuff in the works! Bear with me.

Meet Hal, the excitable sales manager.

(originally Harry the apathetic businessman)

You may also notice that he’s the first character ever to wear more than just a boring shirt. Sure, a suit is not that exciting, but it’s a start.
