An Ending & A Beginning

I think that this is will signify the end of the series that is entitled "The Brilliance of Boredom". To finally end the series I have posted here a re-creation of an iconic British poster that was created in the beginning of the Second World War. It was said to have been created to boost the confidence and morale in the British people, for the quite obvious fear of being invaded. So, to put a new spin on it, I decided to replace the crown that is on the original poster and replace it with my emblem, just to keep things interesting.
In this final picture for the series I did this entirely through a site that I have talked about previously. The site is called picnik, the link for the site can be found in the very first post in this series of "The Brilliance of Boredom." The font that I had used in this reminded me mildly of the first part of the poem called "Jabberwocky", by Lewis Carroll:
Twas brilling, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
So, to finally put an end to this small series of doodes, I shall be producing more scribbles and meandering about with a somewhat pensive attitude about what will come next. Considering the fact that I don't know what I will produce next, keep a sharp eye out for my next post. Thanks

Brilliance of Boredom, No. 4

HUZZAH! Here is the newly edited picture of the character Rayleigh.
After a couple of weeks of technical difficulties I was finally able to present to you readers this new doodle in the "Brilliance of Boredom" series. After some due pondering over the course of the week, I thought that this quote really seemed to work for this character of Rayleigh, which was partially inspired by Doyle and another author of which I admire. This author's name is Henning Mankell, who created the Swedish detective, Kurt Wallander. I would highly recommend this series of mystery stories to anyone who has a fascination of truly disturbed main characters, especially detectives such as Wallander. I was first introduced to the series actually by the new adaptation of it through television. On PBS, there is a program called Masterpiece Mystery and the adaptation stars Kenneth Branagh (who might be known to some as Lockhart on the second Harry Potter movie as well as his work with Shakespeare's adaptations) and he he plays the main character of Kurt Wallander. It is a very good series and the books are well written.
So, with the recommendations over with, here is the newly edited doodle character of Rayleigh and I hope that there are more doodles to come, keep a sharp eye out.

Brilliance of Boredom, No. 3

Here is the second small doodle in the series entitled "The Brilliance of Boredom." Although I have never been truly prone to giving names to small doodles such as this, I, somehow, thought that the name Rayliegh seemed to fit this observatory character like a glove.
This character came as an inspiration from another one of my favorite authors, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but particularly of his creation, Sherlock Holmes. Although this bohemian is not an exact replica of the world's greatest consulting detective, I thought that he had to be a character that sat in a chair just observing his surroundings, much like the great detective's brother, Mycroft, but not as corpulent. So, just to go with the inspirational genesis of this character, I think that a quote from Doyle framing this sedentary and observational character is just the thing it needs. Keep a sharp eye out for the edited picture...

Brilliance of Boredom, No. 2

Cue The Fanfare! Here is the newly edited picture of the character that I had copied from a sketchbook of mine. The quote, as before, is not my own, it belongs to the great author Edgar Allan Poe. At the left side of the picture is my emblem that I usually hide within the picture, to signify that the drawing is complete. Considering that it is, quite literally, at the feet of this meandering character, it seemed fitting to put it where there was some space to spare (although, now that I think of it, I should have put Mr. Poe's name in the spare space instead of my pretentious logo, to show the distinct brilliance of such an author). I hope that the whimsical little quote fits the wandering character swimmingly and I am working diligently on posting another drawing, so keep a sharp eye out...

The Brilliance of Boredom, No. One

Bienvenue & Welcome to this new set of Scribbles written and complied by me. I enjoy drawing reading quite a bit & hope that you readers stay tuned in for more drawings to come. Thanks.

Here is the first in a series of drawings entitled "The Brilliance of Boredom." It will consist of a series of scribbles that I have photographed from a sketchbook of mine and then I will do some editing to make it, with any luck, a little more than just a scribble. To start out the series, here is a small doodle of a character that was inspired by both Kenneth Grahame and Brian Froud (both are artists in their own regard and both of which I truly admire) that I decided to draw into being out of pure whimsy one day. Although, unfortunately, I couldn't fit the whole character into a picture, I was able to fit the detail of the head and most of the coat into the picture.

After loading the picutre onto the computer, I then decided to sort of play around on a picture editing website that my sister uses most of the time for her pictures (called picnik). I thought that the picture would do with a good quote from one of my favorite authors, Edgar Allan Poe. It was a whimsical little quote that I always get a good smile from. With any luck, the newly edited picture should be up within the week. HUZZAH!
