IamA Wild Sketch Appeared. Amateur internet illustrator, now turning into an amateur internet t-shirt salesman. AMA!

How are you so awesome and what do I have to do to see a repeat of this majestic post?

Probably a less rushed and less shitty-looking rendition of the same sketch. Whenever I feel like it. Oh now that's probably worth putting on a shirt....

Agreed

Hahaha, my partner who is distributing these shirts wants me to redo it on a t-shirt.

I'm just thinking how embarrassing someone would feel wearing that.

What inspired you to create such a unique novelty account in the first place?

It was an excuse to start drawing again after, probably 3 years of not drawing anything at all. I drew a lot as a kid growing up but school and work got in the way. It always eased any stress I felt over whatever - just needed some motivation and ideas what to draw and have people see them instead of just for myself (as pretty much all my early drawings are for my eyes only). So that's kinda where Reddit came into play, especially during the artistic-novelty account craze about 2 years ago.

What was your favorite sketch?

A sloth passing a blunt to a Snorlax with a bong-guitar with a Celtic cross in behind and a marijuana leaf at front.

Would have LOVED to put that on a shirt. But... it's a weed-theme piece with a Pokemon on it, Pokemon, licensed by Nintendo, whose notoriously sue-happy when it comes to their IPs. So nope, too risky, can't happen.

How long does it take you to draw the majority of sketches you make for Reddit comments?

I can get a lot done in about 10 minutes due to impatience, but they usually come out as really rushed/shoddy. If I put real effort it can range from 15-45 minutes. If I wanted to be actually really serious, they can take over 2 hours to finish.

What is the most disgusting sketch you've made?

Hard to say. I illustrated the "Jolly Rancher" myth some time ago, so that's the first to come to mind, I'll try to see if I can find it. If I can't... well I'll probably just redraw it here.

1. Snorlax/Sloth blunting it out.
2. The only penis I like is my own.
3. Agnostic, came from a pretty religious but pretty liberal household.
4. Hmmmm sex with gf as my mom. With the lights off, but my mom looks like 15-20 years younger than she is and still keeps a very active/health lifestyle even for being 67. So it depends, I guess if I happen to break my arms at some point........

would you rather fight 100 duck-sized /u/shitty_watercolour's or 1 /u/shitty_watercolour sized duck?

uhhhh.... 100 duck-sized Shittywatercolours but that's prbably even too much for me. Make them a lil smaller, perhaps jackdaw-sized, then we're talking.

Battle station... could you give us pics and specs?

http://i.imgur.com/Sy8Ldy8h.jpg

Lenovo with a quad-core 3.20 ghz processor, 2 terabyte HDs, 8gig RAM, and a GeForce GTX 750 graphics card. Have an additional 650 for support, but that was on a different computer (a total dust magnet) and this one's motherboard doesn't include a second express PCI slot so I'm meaning to replace it, eventually.

Who's your favorite Pokémon?

Speed-boost Blaziken.

Are you close to being self sufficient with your art? Is that a goal?

Nooooooo. Nope. I see it only as a hobby and excuse to make some money on the side. I'm hardly self-sufficient even with my current job in an area where the costs of living are borderline crazy.

Hello. What is your favorite salad dressing?

Caesar

*wait no..... caesar with honey.

What's it like being internet famous?

Creepy since even my siblings and relatives know who I am.

It helped kicked my depression. So there's that.

As for the second question, it's still pretty flattering. But I'm usually way too late nor able to answer anyone's summons.

I use to draw a lot in my 18's. Its been 11 years since and I want to draw again. Any advice on any insecurity issues that may appear?

I don't know about you, but I never really feel insecure about drawing anything. Weird considering feelings of insecurity is basically normal for me.

Can't say this is great advice but... just draw, draw away. Fill up a sketchbook. If you feel it's good enough, never has to be perfect, post it on reddit, facebook, any social media of your choice if that's what you feel like doing. Ignore any criticisms. The more you just do it, the less insecure you'll end up feeling.

Do any of your reddit drawings mean something special to you or provide a sentimental value? If so, what is the story behind it?

Yes I surf reddit enough as it is since the past 4 years so these drawings really do mean a lot. In that it's literally hours/days/months/years of work that let up to that point. No regrets

What's something you've wanted to attempt but haven't had the chance to do so ?

Go to Europe.

What kind of ice cream would be the easiest to draw?

Vanilla. It's just...... all white.
