I'll Just Draw You a Picture Instead: Some of the Strange Art I've Placed in Comment Sections Over the Past Many Months

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

@NoNamesLeftTouse The Writer/Artist Himself will often go above and beyond.

Sometimes words just aren't enough.

We're about to have a look at some strange images. Each one has a story. Rather than going back to look for the discussion that caused each of these images to happen, I'm going to attempt to base it all on memory. Sometimes my memory isn't the best, so bear with me. If I screw something up, that's what comment sections are for.

These works of "art" were rushed and never intended to be amazing nor awe-inspiring or even good for that matter. Something was said, which in turn triggered something within my head, and these are just a few of the results.

Enjoy.

NoNamesLeftToUse - Boot Camp.jpeg

Once upon a time, @onceuponatime joked about how if my eyes are failing, they should be sent to boot camp. I can't remember the precise context and I don't want to go back and read. The image above was my response. He's a very sharp, quick witted man. I'm no slouch in that department, some days. Other days, I'm an idiot. If there's one guy here who's able to catch me off guard more often than not, it's @onceuponatime.

Thank you for the memories.

The other day, @therealpaul was feeling generous. He gave me a fancy blue rectangle with the word "Winner" written on it. I had never won anything before and wasn't sure what to do with it, so I asked him if it was supposed to go in the dishwasher then showed him the image above. He was impressed, jokingly called it art and I think insisted it be hung up on the wall.

Unfortunately, I didn't know how to do that either, so I propped it up there the best I could and called it a day.

Thanks for the memories.

By looking at this image, I'm reminded of the time @daveks asked me to send some snow his way. Since nothing is impossible within this mind of mine, I got down to work as soon as I could. I still insist the plan would have worked. What do you folks think?

Thanks for the memories.



After these messages, we'll be right back.



Welcome Back

@dreemit, does this look familiar?


I remember a post of hers where she shared a few photos. We were talking about how the dark shots are hard to take and she wasn't 100% confident with how they turned out. I knew there would be more hidden behind the darkness, so I started to play around. Where I come from, a dark sky at night can be rare, so I added a little something extra just for effect. She was not expecting this image. She didn't even know I was working on it the entire time we were talking. I think I blew her mind that day.

Thanks for the memories.




I found this image in the comment folder as well. I'm not sure if I ever shared this one in a standalone post. It's much older than the signature states. I never used to sign my art. I rarely use pink. This was probably the first digital image I ever produced using these colors. It comes from a time when I'd just push color around for something to do. Back then, I never imagined I'd be here today, showing off art, to an incredible group of people. I'd share them from time to time on Facebook and claim that one day I'd be selling this stuff. I think they all just thought I was drunk.

Thanks for the memories, self.




Though it's tempting, you will never see me place this under an actual shit post. You may see it under mine when I realize I probably should have put more thought into whatever it was I just did before I pressed that post button though. It is tempting to place it under a friend's post but others who come along might not realize I'm joking. It's best to just leave this be. If you ever feel like using it, go right ahead. If you use it to be mean though, don't speak to me. It's meant to be fun!

Thanks for the shitty memories!




Scary, right? @sift666 is an incredibly unique individual. The man has no filter. He does not care if you think he's an oddball. Anytime you receive a message from him, it will include an image. These images are not for the faint of heart, in most cases. Since I'm never one to back down from a challenge and since he was having so much fun blasting me about liking baboons, I was left with no choice but to monkey around with one of his monkey pics. I look forward to playing the next round of friendly one-upmanship with that crazy mother fuh... cool guy.

Thank you, for the memories.




That's Steemson. I was speaking with @surfermarly about Steemfest and how the only way I'd be able to afford travelling there was if I boarded an iceberg and started paddling. I mean, that's how we do it in Canada. Everyone knows that. Anyway, one thing led to the next. We agreed it would be a long, boring trip and I'd need something to keep myself entertained. She suggested Wilson, the only friend Tom Hanks had when he was Castaway. From that we get Steemson and a legend was born.

Thanks for the memories.



sign.jpeg

Something caught my eye one night while scrolling along the new feed here on Steemit. It was new member, reputation 25. First post, I think. I opened the package and inside was a question. "If there's anyone out there, give me a sign." That was all it said. I obliged. I never got a response. I hope they knew I was only joking and I had made that image just for them and that occasion. Most folks skipped over that post. That day, I just wanted a new member who was feeling lost to feel welcome instead. I hope you're doing well, whoever you are.

Thanks for the memories.



This Man - Approved.JPG

There he is. The most famous superhero ever invented on Steemit. This Man. Every now and again he'll make an appearance and when he does, it's special. He once challenged @lordvader and survived. He used to show up on a few introduceyourself posts as well. This changed, unfortunately. You see, This Man, he thinks the ladies love him. There were a few times(it was every time) he'd get completely burned. No response. His greetings fell on deaf ears. Those people probably thought he was weird. This Man still gets a kick out of it, but can't handle such rejection. This Man already knows he lives inside a land of teachers, scientists, computer type people that code stuff using their brains, day traders, masters of the universe and everyone else who thinks they're normal. This Man does not want to cross your lines. Just know, if you ever need a helping hand or maybe just a morale boost, This Man will always be there in your corner.

Thank you, for the memories.



To Conclude

There are more images out there, somewhere. If I sent one your way at some point and you remember, feel free to drop it in the comments and tell your story.

Some members of our community like to write up guidelines and not necessarily dictate but coach others on Steemit etiquette. Many folks seem to agree that a long, well thought out comment/essay deserves the gold stamp of approval. For me, as someone who prefers to just chill, shoot the shit and enjoy the time I get on this planet... I'll probably never be able to meet those standards. I have difficulty explaining what I mean sometimes anyway so if you don't mind, may I just draw you a picture?

Have a nice day.

It's been a while since I saw "This Man." I hope he didn't get lazy in the past several months. He has such great arms. I'd hate to see those biceps get smaller after taking a long break. ;)


This Man can do chin ups with one hand and no chin.


He will be returning at some point.

The Time She Made This Man Walk Home
Coming soon!

That was a fun trip down memory lane. Also some that I hadn't seen before.
I'd forgotten about the night picture, you did blow my mind ;) I love getting presents..speaking of which I really wanted to drop another piece of your comment art in here, one that you put in mine somewhere around christmas of last year...and it actually said 'present'. But I can't remember what post it was in, and I had it downloaded to my old computer but not to this one. I'll give finding it another try on the morrow when I'm more chipper lol.

I wonder what did happen to that person seeking a sign?

Paul, aw, he would definitely have something to do with a sign that says winner, if you want to feel good about yourself he's a man to go see.

love @sift666, especially his lack of filter. Remember when he trolled Deb around your comment section? Everywhere you looked, a hairy arsecrack. LOL

Paul actually wrote something recently about memory and listing 10 things from the day before. I don't remember much about yesterday but when I go through my files and start seeing these images, I'm taken back to that time.

I regret not being organized with these files. Some are easy to locate. Others are scattered all over the place. I've been better since my return though, so finding my memories in the future should be much easier.

and yeah... How can I forget when @sift666 went batshit crazy. That post from top to bottom is still probably one of the most insane things on the internet today. I know for a fact a shitload of people saw the madness too. Good times!

That winner trophy was the only one that was handed out during the contest that I nearly held, it was specially crafted with this meme app I've been using called Facebook. Just pick a color, type in the message, screenshot it but don't post it, and vee olah!

Those are some high tech skills. I'm going to try something soon, using this knowledge to my advantage. Many will be impressed because it will take me three days to put this piece together and it won't even be what the article is about.

Remember this?

I do remember that, I think I was offering some of my digital art skills [sic] and suggested that you use an S for the steem logo, and just zoom in- maybe I provided the S in my text or something like that, it's foggy now.

It sure is foggy now. That's the S though. No clue why I kept that damn S.

I think it is pretty awesome that you took this trip down memory lane. Since I honestly haven't seen any of these it was interesting, funny and some of them (at least just looking at the picture) were a bit creepy! But.. I'll choose to ignore those since it's close to my bedtime!

My blog can be a nuthouse. I, for some strange reason, enjoy freaking people out. Always a blast.

I enjoyed this trip too. Most people haven't seen them. I enjoy giving people little personal works of "art". That's always a blast too.

Thanks for stopping in!

This, my friend, was entertainment! I am an artist and more times than not, I am compelled to draw how I feel in the comment box but it doesn't always go well! I just love your tongue-in-cheek way of telling someone to f%ck off or gracefully start an amazing and epic art conversation. Keep up the great posts. I haven't been on for awhile and this was my first read...so glad I found it! Have a great day and keep Steemin'

Hey! I took a break as well. I've been back for nearly two weeks, doing my thing.

Welcome back!

Thank you and welcome back yourself. Blogging is way more fun than nursing! Happy to be back in the community. I found this post to be really refreshing and inspiring so good job!

hi , I don't understand english lenguage

Hello.

It is okay if you cannot speak English.

In English, you told me about how you like my post.

If you cannot speak English, how did you know if you liked my post or not? If you enjoyed the pictures, that's okay.

You said the same thing to everyone though.

If I said you have nice hair, you would feel good about how your hair looks.

If I said you have nice hair to EVERYONE on the street, you would think I was crazy.
