Embed my doodles, ya jackwagons!

I’ve had this one bouncing around in my head ever since I saw the TV ad with R. Lee Ermy. Let me refresh your memory:

“Why don’t we chug on over to mamby-pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you, ya jackwagon!” I’d embed the video, but the ad is from a (ahem) competitor of the fine company that sees fit to employ me. I’m confident, however, that the brilliant readers of this blog can use the Googles to find it.

Occasionally I have words of wisdom (or ignorance depending on your perspective) that accompany these doodles. In this case, however, I didn’t want to start tagging people as jackwagons for fear of karmic retribution and/or voodoo doll payback from said jackwagons. However, I encourage you, gentle reader, to enumerate any jackwagons you’d like to list in the comments section below. Because history has taught us that the internet, if nothing else, is a great tool for making fun of other people from a great distance.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the doodle. If you’re a blogger, feel free to use any of my doodles in a blog post if the mood hits. I only ask for a credit and a link.

If you’d like to commission a custom blog header (like the illustrious Social Meteor, Fourth and 140 and Social Poser), you can use the contact form on the blog or just tweet at me @doodlehaus on the Tweeters.

If you REALLY enjoy it, I made it into a t-shirt over at the Doodlehaus Zazzle store. I’ve got a bunch of doodles posted over there suitable for gifts for people you don’t really like all that much. Warning: if they don’t like you, don’t buy a coffee cup. That can be used as a projectile against you.

unGEEKED Superfolk

I’ve had the rare opportunity to put my work in front of oodles of people. unGEEKED e’lite conferences are for the superheroes amongst us who are comfortable both with storytelling and with technology. They may wear business-casual, but underneath their mild-mannered exterior lives a child of Krypton or someone who got a paper cut from a radioactive TPS report.

I’d love to hear what you think. Bonus points to the person who can guess my secret concern about these doodles.

Don’t be a social automaton

I doodled this for a post by Troy Janisch for SmartBrief

Jargon and biznospeak has no place in social media. Social media was designed for human interactions. You know, stuff like LOLCats and pictures of that omelette you’re about to eat. Here’s a link to the post, Social Pro Files: Considering the human costs of social currency and here’s a shameless link to my Zazzle store where you can buy a t-shirt of the angry rampaging robot.

Death cannot stop true love

*All it can do is delay it for a while.

We’ve all felt that deep, abiding love for someone. The kind of love that reaches out from the grave and feasts on the flesh of the lover left behind. Right?

I thought this quote from the Princess Bride matched nicely with the last drawing, so I re-traced it, made the color scheme a little simpler and made a t-shirt out of it. It’s the very first Doodlehaus signature tee. Enjoy!

The sad thing is most of the tasks we perform every day are mundane.

For most of us, even our big wins make most people respond “Good for you” when they’re really thinking “So what? You gonna buy the next round or what?” [Read more...]
