Brain Farts: Brian


This Brain Fart is not named after me or my Dad. Mike just thought he looked like a Brian.

Brain Farts: Samuel


I know some people are thinking "huh"?

Part of the reason I draw these guys is an exercise in creativity and design. I try to make each Brain Fart different from the next. Another reason is to have something to decorate the walls of the cubicle with. I don't have anything against the typical toys that decorate your average animators desk. I have those too. But these Brain Farts are something that is uniquely mine and fun. I think it adds to the creative atmosphere more than a toy you can buy at Toys R Us because it is so different and stupid.

Another explanation for the Brain Farts is they are fun to draw!

Brain Farts

Every day for the last couple of weeks at Speakeasy I've been sketching out one of these little globs and bits of muck with faces on them on a post it note. I then give them to Mike who promptly names them. Here is the first one I drew. More are on there way.
