One Creative Thing A Day



It got a bit late last night and I couldn’t get myself to work on the Imaginary Modular idea. I think it’s because I have to start thinking about the big picture rather than just the components now. So, I sat there watching TV with Jenny coming up with things I could do.
Jenny and I DVR the show Project Runway and after the end of the show there is always the leftover first five minutes of the next program. Directly following Project Runway is this weird show called “On The Road with Austin and Santino”. Everytime it comes on I get confused with thoughts like, “What IS this show?” and “Who IS that guy?”.
It’s basically two designers, one flamboyantly gay one and one sort of New Jersey trying-to-be-tough-guy-but-really-can’t-because-he’s-partnered-with-this-guy guy, go to some middle american persons home and give them some kind of makeover.
The flamboyantly gay one is Austin and it’s not that he’s flamboyantly gay that cracks me up, it’s just the faces he makes, especially in his interview setups. I bet the editors of this show have a lot of laughs at the hilarious freeze frames that grace their monitors so often. The drawing I did is a freeze frame from one of those interview setups. Within a four second piece of interview footage I was able to pull tons of funny faces. I had to be pretty selective and ultimately it was really tough to decide which one to draw.
Anyways, here is the drawing I did. I don’t really feel like I was able to capture that special something that makes his face really so funny to me. He kind of just looks like a surprised guy. Oh well. I don’t know which one I like better, with the rays behind him or without. I think the one without the rays may be funnier but I also like with.
