Hello folks,
Welcome to my particular corner of this website! Hopefully in the future it'll contain myriad weird and wonderful creations, but for now it's a bit of a barren wasteland.
As you can probably tell if you've looked through my gallery, I'm from Australia. I like history, vehicles of all types, music, and Sci-fi. Most of my best ideas for drawings come from some cheesy visual pun, so be it, I'm weird. If you have something suitably silly that you want me to draw, feel free to suggest it.
Peace โก

An ode to the visual pun
2 years ago
I like visual puns, I like fairly terrible goofy poetry, I was bored but unable to draw so I created this as an outlet. If anyone reads this entire thing I will be shocked. Make of this what you will, random internet users.
Peace.
The pun is humour's finest work,
Comedy's peak, a hilarious art
And since I'm an enormous dork,
Drawing them sincerely warms my heart.
To take a pun and make it real,
An image placed firmly on a page โ
To cause the viewer a seconds pause:
As Through the silliness they feel,
Liberated from the stresses of this age.
To share them is my ultimate cause.
Taking the stupidest little joke;
A fish living inside an Abrams tank,
A dying frog about to croak,
Or the river trying to rob a bank.
And elevating it from written medium,
Adds nuance and expands the meaning,
Lifted out from the den of clichรฉ,
Boredom, "cringe" and tedium.
Though you may be less pun-ward leaning,
You enjoy them too, despite what you say.
The only reservation that I entertain,
Can my meagre skills do them justice?
Can I highlight the humour it must contain?
Or will my attempts lack zest and spice.
My technical skills in the visual arts,
Are often lacking the refinement and class โ
Needed to present my mind's true vision,
Leading me to many false starts.
Maybe after my failures reach critical mass
Will I win the battle of creative attrition.
For now I can and must forge advances,
In pursuit of my final artistic goal,
To share the visual pun that entrances
My minds eye and my creative soul.
I hope my past efforts bring someone mirth
And that others can see their intended humour,
The slight smirk a good pun should bring
Or a bad one, for what it's worth.
If I can make only one person less dour,
I will be successful, my heart shall sing.
Peace.
