DrawSomething - Some of my (cool) drawings

What if Words with Friends and Pictionary had a freak App baby? Well, they have, brought to you by OMGPOP. The #1 app on Apple's App Store is DrawSomething. It's a turn-based Pictionary-style game where players choose words to draw (of various difficulties) and draw them with the aim of having their friends guess their word. It's incredibly addictive. OMGPOP was sold to Zynga (Words,Hanging with Friends) for $180 million recently. One hundred and eighty million fucking dollars.

Unlike Pictionary, however, there are no teams, and no time limit. This means one can create some truly awesome drawings.

As an artist, I really enjoy this game, especially when I get a fun word to draw. Certain times I've really gone to town on some drawings, and other times, my drawings are no more than a few lines. Below are some of my best works. There will definitely be more to come, as I've just downloaded the iPad version, which is really cool (and more detailed) on the big screen. Enjoy:

Lebron

Pauly D

Star Wars

Tupac

Kraken

There will definitely be more where those came from.

I've been so MIA.

My last post was in October. Holy Jesus. I would apologize, but it's not like anyone reads this crap. Well, you gotta start somewhere right? I wanna get back into this and make it happen. I also want to expand this to include other writers-I have a few in mind. More content + good writing = bigger audience. 

So, to kickstart this bastard back to life, in the next few weeks I will be writing entries on the following topics:

Art

  • Street-art's (in)famous hero: Banksy
  • If Pictionary and the "with Friends" apps had a baby: DrawSomething 
Music
  • Ultra Music Festival (Miami) vs. Electric Daisy Carnival (Las Vegas) vs. Electric Zoo (New York)
  • My theory on music production: The Producer's Paradox: trendy + emulating others vs. originality + the underground
Sports
  • AC Milan and the current state of affairs at San Siro
    • Serie A
    • UEFA Champions League 
    • Players
  • Fabrice Muamba
    • March Madness - The 2012 NCAA Basketball Tourney
    Let's start there for now. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. March Madness is upon us. Let's get writing.
