Came across this a few days ago. It's over 15 years old but I still kinda like it:

Found my year 12 art from a few years back the other day... I hated it after doing it for half a year

It was meant to be in triptych form, so the first photo is meant to be the leftmost, followed by the middle in the middle and the bottom is the rightmost picture...

Photos take away most of the best stuff...

Charcoal on paper, with colour pencil, black ink and felt tip.

The pencil did a cool thing where the charcoal wouldn't go over the colour because I coloured it in hard enough for the friction to be removed from the paper so it wouldn't grab.

On to something I did:

Story first:
In art class back in school we had to do something on the topic "vessels", and I decided to do some collage.

about 1 year after I finished school I got a call from my art teacher, asking me to use my collage work for some kind of exhibition. At first I wasn't even aware what "collage work" he was talking about, I left it at school and totally forgot about it. Especially because I never really saw its appeal. I didn't care at all, and so I said, allright (do whatever you want to do with it - I thought to myself). And then he sent me pictures of them, hanging on some wall of the exhibition:

the twist of the story:
One week later he called me again, and asked me whether he could have them, and when I was already about to say something like: whatever! just keep them already, he offered my 250 Euro!
That was 4 years ago, and to this day I can't believe I earned money, by glueing paper on some cardboard..

You must probably hate me for that now.

^Holy crap! 250 euros ain't bad for something you were prepared to give away for free. Nice going with the collage!

This is something I drew back in 2001. Me and some friends had our own mad inventor's society where we drew plans for various doomsday machines and other things. One of the doomsday machines we drew up was the Atlas Infernalis, a gigantic metal man that ran on steam. It could submerge under water, fly with it's rocket legs and, of course, cause mayhem with it's enormous chainsaw and microwave hands.

This cartoon was basically drawn to illustrate the potential horror of such a machine. I later ended up submitting it to some school assignment because I aws too lazy to do something new when I'd already done this in my spare time. I got good grades too.

The characters in the cartoon are me as Dr. Waldemar (the guy with the hard-on) and a couple of friends as Professor Fennikel (with glasses) and Dr. Brain (with binoculars).

a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

Toredorem, you might have a difficult name I never remember, but damn, you never cease to amaze me. Great drawing, awesome metal man + I don't think I'd have had the balls to submit something, with the word "fuck" all over it, to some school assignment (probably).

Your #1 fan.

I love the bird in the 3rd picture, with the question mark

Do you know those Dagobert Duck comics about him, having some adventures in the past, like searching for Eldorado, or living at the Klondike River to search for gold? As a kid my grandpa bought me some Mickey Mouse comic magazine every week, and those were in there sometimes. And they were the best by far. they were drawn differently, not as bright as the normal Mickey Mouse comics, and there was always something happening in the background, similar to your birds . Though I doubt, the word Fuck was involved..

what I don't understand is the tv in the end, at all ?!?
