Jet Engines and Severed Heads

Today, after a long hiatus from blogdumb, I present to you two variations of the jet ninja. This specimen of ninja deadliness is particularly hard to find in it's natural habitat. Mostly because when you're trying to find it, it is stalking you for a swift and violent kill. Fortunately for you, I can sketch motion that cameras can't even catch: these two jet ninjas are but one example (are but two examples?).

You can identify a jet ninja by the loud roar of the engine. Unfortunately, since they always travel faster than the speed of sound, the final identification will be up to your severed head. The only person that has ever faced a jet ninja and survived is, of course, Chuck Norris. But even he lost a piece of his beard.

Average Joebot

I mentioned in a previous post how drawing a humanoid robot, for me, usually represents a sort of "average joe" or humankind as a whole. It's a little deep so I don't really expect you to get it.

Conversely, drawing an average Joe always represents the plight of the robot. Humans have always built robots to work. They make cars, vacuum our floors/haul cats, kill/spy on stuff and generally do our bidding, regardless of how repetitive and boring it is.

These careful illustrations represent these robots. I hope that by drawing them as a human face you can appreciate their contributions to our society. Perhaps by showing our appreciation, even this small bit, we can convince them to preserve a few of us when they finally rise up. Until that day, you can appreciate these Average Joebots.
