Ever have a news story stuck in your head forever because it was just so random and ridiculous? That’s what happened today. I got thinking about an incident that happened at the Skowhegan Fair Ground last summer… someone, and I can only assume someone who was very very stoned, stole $1,000 worth of whoopie pies <\/em>and cookies<\/a> during the night. Not cash. Not anything of real use. Whoopie pies. <\/em>I mean this is right up there with the theft (and then eventual return) of the Turtle Boy<\/a> statue. Ah! Small town life in New England! There’s nothing like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But back to the point. I don’t believe they ever caught the whoopie pie bandit… maybe they will after the above vital evidence is released. It was a caterpillar. His name was Glen. And he was jus trying to spread joy. Mystery solved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Making of Glen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did learn a few things drawing this… the first is that if I am tracing something – let’s say the tail end of a pick-up truck – I should enlarge it to the right size first. Tracing it in actual size and then enlarging the tracing just makes it look pixelated to high hell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly I learned layers are awesome to bury Glen under. Also hiding layers makes drawing additional layers far less chaotic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
