Question: how good do you have to be at drawing to have a successful wank to your own art?
Pareidolia is playing tricks on me; I’m either seeing a huge nose sniffing up that house, or that rock has a face.

If I had money, I promise I’d do something useful with it. Like putting up a shed in my garden.


He’s obviously annoyed because the Client didn’t specify all dimensions needed to build what they think they want, so he knows he’s in for a world of pain when he has to discuss what the original Scope of Work was after he’s done and they’re dissatisfied. I’m sorry, Jesus.
