Bad Laundry

When my brother was very young, he told me about a nightmare he had wherein he was chased around the house by an evil creature. The villain of his dream was not your garden-variety monster, witch, or ghost. It was an evil basket of dirty laundry. To eliminate any doubt that it was a malevolent being, the galloping, sentient laundry pile had a neon sign floating over it that read: "BASKET OF DIRTY BAD CLOTHES."

Something reminded me about this today so I drew it:

I also scanned a few more sketchbook doodles and played with some of them in Photoshop.

The room we were in was crowded to capacity (because Jeremy is so darn popular) and most people were busy eating/drinking/chatting. Everyone was sitting down except for this lone tall guy in a brown Hawaiian shirt who stood in the corner, slowly eating his food while glowering at the rest of us. He sometimes paused to read aloud from the book he brought, but he mostly just did this:


I wasn't scared of him...

I swear....
