The New Deal
A lot of people ask me if I do portraits. Back in the day I used to do them for free. After awhile, I got sick of that and just let them pile up in my gmail box. I still accept submissions for free portraits but it's very rare that I do them. Basically the picture you send in has to be better than anything else I can come up with. But I am more than willing to do a piece like the one above for the low low price of $10. Just drop a ten-spot in the Paypal tip jar link over there on the left and send in your jpeg (the higher resolution, the better) and I'll whip it out with in a week. I'll email you the hi-res image and you can do whatever you like with it. So that's my new deal.

Digg Theories
The Joker finally got Dugg today. Digg Days are always fun because I get to learn about all the reasons why my sketches are obvious fakes. Here are today's gems:
The Magnetic Pen Theory
The Higher Than Normal Quality Etch-a-Sketch Theory
The Silver Paper Theory
Of course, they can't all be right. Either it was a magnetic pen, a super-special high quality Etch-a-Sketch, or it was the silver paper slipped under the glass. Which theory is correct? I'll let them fight it out amongst themselves. But when you guys do figure it out, please let me know. I'm dying to find out how I do these things!
The Magnetic Pen Theory
Not hard to do. Use a very small tipped magnet and you can draw on it like it was an artists PC Drawing Tablet. Now if it was actually honest to Doug drawn using the actual vertical and horizontal knobs then that would be butt impressive. Perhaps a video of the act (sped up of course) would make this amazing. But its a pic so conversely...BURIED!

The Higher Than Normal Quality Etch-a-Sketch Theory
Last time I tried an etchasketch, you couldn't do angles on it without it looking like stairs. Either this 'travel etchasketch' is of much, much higher quality (doubtful), or this is faked.

The Silver Paper Theory
I call fake, how easy would it be to open this up and slip a silver sheet of paper in place of the screen and drawing in pencil which is essentially what the lines on etch a sketch look like.
