I had intended that this drawing be my submission for Illustration Friday this week. Unfortunately, when it was all said and done, I didn't think that it really fit with this week's topic of "sorrow". It was supposed to show the sorrow that a kid is having after the robot, which he created to do his homework for him, revolts, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. I didn't add all the elements that I had originally planned (a few homework papers on the ground, a torn book or two, a mangled backpack, etc.), which really would have helped to bring the concept together, but Survivor was on TV tonight. So there!
I haven't posted links in a while, so I thought I'd take a moment and post some local goodies that I've discovered lately.

Staple Austin! is March 5th. It's sole purpose is "... purpose of promoting the display and barter of independent creative media".
I want to attend Cafeteria Chaos! It's in a REAL school cafeteria and will be serving REAL cafeteria food... jr. high all over again. JOY!
Though this isn't local, the Random Comic Strip Generator is fun. # posted by Jared Chapman @ 2/24/2005 08:11:00 PM
