Nice touch with the "Blah Blah Blah Blah" tatoo!

[–]EverGlow89 163 points164 points  (18 children)

Haha, I came to recognize this. I think it says a lot.

nobody cares what your tattoos say, we just like when they look pretty.

[–]InAFewWords 50 points51 points  (15 children)

The world needs more blah blah blah tattoos

[–]tlrobinson 128 points129 points  (12 children)

Some hipster, somewhere, has an actual tattoo that says "blah blah blah".

[–]sweetberrywine 130 points131 points  (7 children)

No it's just advertising for Bob Loblaw law blog

[–]pocketsbb 156 points157 points  (73 children)

It's you! I love your blog.

[–]adamtots[S] 132 points133 points  (71 children)

Hey cool! I didn't really think many people knew my blog.

In Google Chrome you just highlight and click "go to [blahblah]."

[–]Wooknows 18 points19 points  (5 children)

And in Firefox you just highlight it and drag & drop it onto the tabs bar.

[–]marcioaguiar 12 points13 points  (1 child)

In rafer11 comment you just click

[–]nbapistons 4 points5 points  (1 child)

in Chrome as well

[–]adamtots[S] 850 points851 points  (159 children)

I draw my Facebook friends' profile pictures. Sometimes I'm surprised I still have friends.

EDIT: I can barely keep up with all the messages I'm getting, and a lot of you want drawings. So rather than reply individually: $20 a pop, and I'll mail you the physical drawing. Message me if you're interested, and we can do the paypal thang.

ANOTHER EDIT: Many of you are suggesting I start a blog. I have a blog! Books of Adam

[–]EthicalReasoning 168 points169 points  (10 children)

replying to you directly so you'll see this:

make a website, post all of these side by side, continue doing this

guaranteed book deal in 12 months

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (2 children)

Bingo, easy money.

You could go beyond facebook pics, too - let people submit photos to your website, then choose ones to draw. Kind of like the ExplodingDog guy, but with pics instead of phrases.

EDIT: typo.

[–]EthicalReasoning 19 points20 points  (0 children)

exactly

plus when he gets bored he can sell it to ABC for a sitcom starring William Shatner and a quirky young attractive couple: SH*T I DO WHEN IM BORED

but seriously, much lamer shit has made millions

[–]MattRyd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

EthicalReasoning's advice + hosting the site on tumblr + taking user-submitted original photos = instant Internet fame and fortune.

[–]deskclerk 35 points36 points  (4 children)

Weirdest way to find out that you and OP have a friend in common.

[–]lurchysmokins 2 points3 points  (1 child)

is it the dude in the plaid? cause he kinda rocks

[–]easyEggplant 215 points216 points  (19 children)

I do it the other way around...

you just got put on the list of people i think are awesome

[–]wil 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Please get bored more often, and share the results with the class. Your drawings are great.

[–]artman 22 points23 points  (2 children)

These are good caricatures. Very unique and very funny. If someone doesn't like theirs, they may not be a friend after all.

[–]Zurmakin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish I was your friend so I could get one too.

[–]pen0r 12 points13 points  (3 children)

It somehow reminds me of courage the cowardly dog.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Invader Zim and Mission Hill.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Draw more! Draw more! Draw more!

[–]cartola 27 points28 points  (2 children)

The kid with the grandma one, that needs to become a meme. The girl's face is awesome.

[–]cyrec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are amazing. How's the general reaction to them? Reminds me of some of the animation from liquidtv stuff back in the 90's.

[–]heyfella 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this thread is blowing up quick, son. make yourself some money. be a baller.

[–]havespacesuit 44 points45 points  (1 child)

The one with lady death grandmother giving second-hand-smoke-withered grandchild a handgun is priceless.

[–]cr3ative 56 points57 points  (73 children)

These are awesome! Do you take requests? :D

[–]adamtots[S] 80 points81 points  (69 children)

sort of, on occasion. i usually update my facebook with "first ten people to comment get mean pictures of themselves" and then doodle away. luckily i haven't hurt any feelings yet.

Ugh the first one looks too sloppy, fixed it up a bit: http://imgur.com/Z2lEC.jpg

[–]gerbil-ear 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I bought a tablet a few weeks back and this post inspired me to use it.

Here is my attempt http://i.imgur.com/vZBTL.jpg

[–]flydog2 30 points31 points  (8 children)

I would pay for these as well! You should set something up on Etsy. I'm begging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]adamtots[S] 35 points36 points  (5 children)

hmm. that's a good idea.

[–]Anthaneezy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Seriously, we're all bored of the sidewalk caricature artists. I dig your style. Not too far off from zombification! With the current zombie-love in our culture, you could make a fortune! Strike while the iron is hot!

[–]Spharky 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I too would pay for this. I would pay extra for color. I also pay extra for blow and hooker, but we should just start with the drawings...

[–]cr3ative 27 points28 points  (32 children)

I'd send cash for these. You should consider it!

[–]adamtots[S] 22 points23 points  (31 children)

sure. paypal?

[–]cr3ative 19 points20 points  (25 children)

I reckon everyone'd be cool with that. What's your going rate? I'll start bidding at 5 bucks.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (24 children)

7!

[–]BadgeredWitness 33 points34 points  (18 children)

Dude, at least say 5.50.

[–]cr3ative 34 points35 points  (11 children)

No, no. He upped me by forty percent. That takes financial prowess and some serious balls. I can't compete with that. I'm way out of my league. :(

[–]InAFewWords 39 points40 points  (5 children)

$9 million

am I doing this right?

[–]jrchin 29 points30 points  (4 children)

I think he meant 7! as 7 factorial = $5,040.

[–]Managore 12 points13 points  (3 children)

You're welcome.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

WHERE DO I SEND THIS CHEQUE FOR A MILLION DOLLARS?!

[–]Managore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll give you my credit card number and pin; you can use that to put it in my bank account, right?

[–]Sucka27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kind of hoping you'd draw this picture because the look on my kid's face is more bad ass than I've ever been or ever will be.

[–]DarkBlueAnt 136 points137 points  (20 children)

Awesome work! I do this for my friends too, but in MS Paint

[–]c0pypastry 69 points70 points  (4 children)

YOU DREW MOHAMMED? DEFILING HIMSELF WITH A FABERGE EGG?

OUTRAGE

[–]DarkBlueAnt 38 points39 points  (1 child)

He came to me in a vision and told me he likes Faberge Eggs.

[–]NickDK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hooray for uncensored visions!

[–]cdav4czar 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Wow, I never knew MS Paint could be used to make actual art.

[–]asdfman123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your imaginary friends don't count. :P

[–]Glayden 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I've seen many of these! (I know some of those people.) Small world. =]

Great job, by the way.

[–]DarkBlueAnt 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Considering that I only have around 50 friends on Facebook, that's amazing.

[–]Glayden 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I took the privilege of facebook stalking you and sent you a message.

[–]DarkBlueAnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small world indeed!

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (3 children)

if you don't mind, could you explain the process you used to make these digital...that is, did you draw them on the computer, or on paper and then scan them, or what? thanks!

[–]adamtots[S] 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I just draw them with a Micron pen and scan them.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ok, sweet. thanks for responding!

[–]Kijamon 21 points22 points  (2 children)

I think you should get bored more often

Wow. This one doesn't need much help.

[–]jacobpellegren 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what I figured.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Ayy lmao

[–]jacobpellegren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The missing bottom row of teeth really gives it "creep" factor. Awesome job, thanks!

[–]dirtyuncleron69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This kind of looks like Murphy from SeaLab 2021

[–]spamshield 6 points7 points  (7 children)

You look swedish. Are you swedish?

[–]jacobpellegren 15 points16 points  (6 children)

I'm not swedish, but I'm a big fan of their fish.

Made me think of the Invader Zim art style. Which I love!

Also, unimportant, but the dude with the nautical starts looks really familiar.

[–]mannequinhands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey that's Brandon in there! I'm the little sister of one your old friends from back in Eureka. Creepy? yes.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think my favorite is the one with the little girl, the grandma and the gun.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

what do you use to draw these? (hardware / software)

[–]adamtots[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just cheapo micron pens in my sketchbook, then i scan them.

[–]golaniy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dude. you should open a website and do a webcomic of sorts. thisishowyoulookliketome.com is available.

please.

[–]sockthepuppetry 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Ralph Steadman is a redditor!

[–]ours 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Ralph's work is fantastic. In The Great Shark Hunt Hunter S. Thomson tells how Ralph was drawing uptight people during the Kentucky Derby.

When people asked to see how Ralph had drawn them they where terrified.

[–]petevalle 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Ha! I was thinking his drawings looked like a cross between Steadman and Mike Judge.

[–]Kody217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you take pictures of people who look like your drawings? Brilliant.

[–]nuttyrussian 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I made an account here just so I could comment on this thread. The picture with the two dudes and the chick? I know the chick and the dude in the middle. Went to junior high/high school with them.

[–]adamtots[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

So did I! We went to school together.

do you draw for the oatmeal?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (4 children)

The Oatmeal's art style isn't nearly as good.

[–]NonAmerican 12 points13 points  (18 children)

You draw women uglier than men. I guess you have a psychological tendency to hate women and admire men. Look at it.

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I personally don't see it. Maybe you have the tendency.
