Now Playing Tracks

Here are the engineering specs for my patent application for my idea machine. I don’t want to give too much away since the patent isn’t even pending yet, but it’s a pencil and a spiral notebook from the dollar store.

How it works is I sit down with them and I rub them together until I get something beyond awesome, like “Friendly neighborhood HOBO” or “Tell me I’m pretty.” In short, micro-revolutions in the history of art that I can later turn into a tee shirt or drawing.

I discard about 95% of what I write down.

(Behind the scenes exclusive: I actually set my pencil and notebook in front of me while I drew this stunning still life. And the font is called “Don’t break my heart when I’m sleeping.”)

If you are a patent troll reading this, please don’t patent my invention before I do. I’m kind of a procrastinator with paperwork.
