Brainstorm
I was sitting on the couch with Gorky watching Maverick while holding my clipboard and a scrap of blank paper trying to think of something to draw. I wanted to get another post in before the day was over. I sighed and thought, I need a brainstorm and suddenly there it was my idea. Then I had another brainstorm. I looked at Gorky confused and asked, "Can you draw me a brain? I'm not sure what they look like and I had an idea about a sketch."
She took the clipboard and pencil and scribbled away. A minute later she was handing me back the picture. I looked at the brain she had drawn and said, "Wow! That's awesome. Could you draw a couple more?"
Gorky looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "I just want to get a few different perspectives. Come on... Please? It only took you a minute." I pleaded.
She took the clipboard again and drew the other four brains. When she finished I grabbed my gel roller and started inking in the brains and drew me trying to run out of the brainstorm. A minute later Gorky noticed what I was doing and said, "Hey! You're just inking in the things I drew."
"I know!" I screamed as I jumped off the couch to run upstairs and post this illustration.
Bwhahahahahahahaha... Ahem.
The brains where drawn by Gorky with a Faber-Castle 3-H pencil then inked over by me with my gel roller on a scrap of multi-purpose copy paper, then cleaned up in Photoshop. I started to color in the illustration, but decided I liked the black and white look.
When was your last brainstorm? When was the last time you left some love?

I too have clipboard in hand when I watch TV. My color pencils have a permanent home on the end table!
My last brain storm was to throw the plastic dish scrubbie in the dishwasher to get the caked on food off... so much for brilliance!
Love!

Great collaboration, guys! Not sure if that umbrella will help against those brains coming down. Also, be careful of the brain stems whipping around.
Very funny!

I had a brainstorm in the shower this morning and then another over coffee. I guess I had a double storm! I love the raining brains! Love

You are so Machiavellian! You should be a shame of yourself! Well, at least you told us that the brain was from your girlfriend...
My last brainstorm was not so long ago. We are having plans for an exhibition here in 2008 and were trying to find a title. Had much fun!
Hmmm... The last time I left some love was a little bit too long ago... :O( I'm very confuse... :O((((
LOVE
Hey, wait! I did a post about you recently, that doesn't count? Ok, I saw yesterday that my link was not working, so because I know that people here just love to hear about you, I'm doing it again, here, so everybody will be able to see how much you are LOVED! :O)
LOVE again

If we had a brainstorm like that, I think I would collect a few and save them in my freezer, just like we do with hailstones. (We don't get hail very often, so it's a novelty. A spare brain or two would really be a novelty.)
Love the wacky (and brainy) stuff you come up with.
By Cindy, at 17:21
cindy: Ha! That's a good idea. I could always use some more brains! :-)
Thanks.
