We had dinner a few days with ago with Candyce’s brothers and sisters on top of a bluff over looking the ocean. We came back to the house and played a really boring game of Scrabble. To keep us occupied when it wasn’t your turn, Candyce began a drawing, and then passed it to the next person to continue the drawing. So what you end up with is an ever-evolving patchwork illustration. Each person tried to remix the drawing.

Since none of us were trying to draw well, you were freed from any criticism. You drew stupid things and people laughed at your stupidity. Here’s our results:


Drawing 1: Superworm, Hungry Fish

I have no idea what this one is about. It’s just dumb.


Drawing 2: Dreamland

Candyce did this one with Matt and Carrie. I’m guessing those flying animals started as clouds. The ship actually is pretty good.


Drawing 3:What comes before Part B? Part-ey

So what we have here is a bald man who’s blowing a party horn and some CDs? Somehow there’s a pepper shaker.


Drawing 4: Strawbury Blues

It’s not looking good for this strawberry. The flying man on the left must’ve picked it, shot it through a machine, and it met it’s demise in a bowl of cereal.


Drawing 5: The Strength of 100 Turtles

This athletic gymnast is now showing off on the top of a cheerful turtle. But this actually started out pretty scandalous. I misinterpreted Candyce’s drawing as a man with saggy b00bs. I drew muscles over the sag and then draw the legs sticking out. Candyce yelled at me. You ruined my drawing! She stormed out of the house and I didn’t see her for 2 hours. She later explained that they weren’t b00bs, but actually the bottoms of this feet. But she saw what I saw, and now we’re on speaking terms again.


Drawing 6: Do a Little Dance

I was hooked at this point. Candyce drew the dumb dancing reigndeer, and I attacked it with my might rabbit. This is when Danny decided it would be funny to illustrate a plumbers butt.


Drawing 7: The Jammin’ Cats

These two cats looks like they were drawn by a boy who studied all the cat cartoon characters on cereal boxes and other junk food. Danny continued the butt thing, but failed in trying to make the pumber flex his muscle. The failure was so dumb looking that he repeated it on the bottom.


Drawing 8: Winter Wonderland

This drawing was passed to me with the moose head hanging on a wall. I decied to give him life by making him sporty, ready to run, and picking a corn flower. I like how later in the year (as the picture clearly illustrates) that he’s out surfin’ impressin the ladies.


Drawing 9: Of Dolphins and Mountains

It looks like the planes are dropping ants from the sky. The clouds are becoming clouds. The dolphins are becoming mountains. The capri pants are the reindeer are priceless. I drew the self-doubting moon that wants to believe that he is happy.


Drawing 10: 50 Cent and Player-Hatin’ Birds

The reindeer is an Elvis impersonator who privately wants to be 50 Cent. I put the ball between the bear and the reindeer to avoid any misunderstandings about their relationship. Little Matt’s sun was pretty rad in a Mexican folk art kind of way. I thought my cawing bird looked pretty cool. Notice the little bird hiding in the fro.
