Some Ridiculousness

 Here are some fairly new doodles, which, completely by coincidence, all possess an odd curl in their hair, well, in the owl's case, feathers. The inspiration for these quirky little characters was pure boredom, basically. The owl though, was inspired by a book I had purchased a couple of weeks ago. The book is titled Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King, granted, the name doesn't really seem to roll off the tongue I mainly purchased it because of the author and illustrator of the book, William Joyce. For those who do not know about William Joyce, he is famed for his children's show that he created Rolie Polie Olie, which I watched as a kid.

 Mr. Joyce is also famed for his conceptual work in various movies like Meet the Robinsons (one of my favorite movies and it is based on Joyce's book A Day with Wilbur Robinson) and Robots. Joyce also has his own animation studio, Moonbot Studios, which produced a grand little short film entitled The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. Needless to say, I truly enjoy William Joyce's work. If you would like to venture through Mr. Joyce's website click here.
If you would like to take a gander at the series The Guardians of Childhood, which is the book I previously mentioned click here.

Note: these were drawn with a pencil and just a regular fountain pen.
