This is Post-it art!

This is Post-it art!

Another one made while watching BSG. It started out as something with tusks, but quite quickly it turned out as some kind of roman or spartan warrior. The big round thing around the dude was just some randomly shaped cog like thing... but now all I see is a big round shield.

I'm not sure if I like this one or not... I like the "soldier" and how it is built from small cogwheels and "random" shapes. And look at that cute little hand holding that spear ^___^. But then again the picture as a whole feels kind of unfinished ... and what the hell is that thing in the bottom right corner supposed to be?

The ones I draw at home I usually draw in my lap without any pad or support. I hold the Post-it stack against my knee while watching movies and series from the computer and I just draw. Thus, it sometimes leads  to ugly and unintentional shapes but my Post-it art motto is "never start over, it goes how it goes". I may fix the unfortunate slips by drawing over them or "thickening" the lines, but I do not want to start the same drawing from the beginning... at least for me as a creator it would destroy the core idea of the drawing. And besides, sometimes these unfortunate slips force me to change direction and stop thinking the final results too much and I end up with something cool and totally random.

Love?

I think that this is one of the coolest post-it drawings that I've made, but I don't like the fact that it is too ... pre-planned.

This one I made while watching Battlestar Galactica series at home and it actually started as a skull drawing test. Few days later I started to add random shapes around it. Pretty soon it started to look a bit grim and nightmarish and I continued to follow that path knowingly. I was planning to fill the whole note with random lines and shapes, but I didn't want to ruin the "feeling" and I stopped. It however took me several evenings to do this as I was REALLY careful how to continue. Fortunately there's four BSG seasons :)

------- Love-------

Well, that's the word that I still feel when watching this... The love is beautiful, but oh so hard, merciless and grim thing. Due to my fiancé's long and, eh,  difficult pregnancy I was a bit depressed when I did this and I felt that I needed to make a point ... that love is dead or love you to death, what ever. Maybe I was listening to this when I got the idea, who knows.

I do not approve this!

What is the meaning of this?

New office location and what do I find? A thick black marker on my desk... I used it to make evident that I did not approve this non-Post-it-art-standard pen!
 
 ------------------------------------
The purpose of this blog is to publish my so called Post-it art. I have one Q-Connect fine-liner 0.4mm pen (provided by the Company) and lots of Post-it notes, also provided by the Company. I do not use any colors or different pens, the idea is to keep it simple... mainly because I do majority of this stuff at the office and THEY do not pay me for doing the Post-it stuff to the internet :p (note for boss: I update the blog at least outside office hours!)

I try to include a story behind every drawing if it has any. I feel like I need to write something here, it's a blog after all, right? And I like to blabber anyways so... enjoy... and please comment for the sake of conversation :)

I have several notes already done since I started to record them digitally (to FB, duh) at the end of last year. I'll update them here one by one as I want to include the stories and keep the individual blog entries short.

ps. and yeah, you guessed it, I'm not a native English speaker :)
