An Instagram follower asked for "Tired Door," and it made me think of a cartoon I drew probably thirty years ago: "Yawning Awning." I drew it in an art workshop over summer break, and I remember it made the instructor laugh out loud. I think that's the first time I can remember making a grown-up laugh with a cartoon.
Back in the '90s, when I couldn't think of something to draw, my friend Rob would randomly open the dictionary, blindly place his finger on the page, and call out the closest adjective. He'd repeat the process for a noun, and I would draw the result. "Obnoxious Rhinoceros" was the first combination I drew. For new illustrations, I prefer email suggestions, but often settle for a random word generator.
