Something so much better than I could have possibly imagined

For some reason I felt like drawing a skeleton tonight. Maybe it’s because Danny and I were both talking about and looking at skeletons during the Marker Manifesto gallery opening? No matter where the thought came from, I was thinking that I wanted to draw one holding a slice of pizza, with dripping cheese. I started working on it but then I changed my mind and wanted to draw the dude slam dunking a basketball. Just out of curiosity I googled “skeleton slam dunk” and found this gem. My man’s dunking his own head!

I used to get sort of bummed when I’d find out that an idea of mine wasn’t really mine – that it had already been done. Now (at least most of the time), I get psyched. It’s fun to image search something as crazy as a skeleton slam dunk and see how many people have actually thought about it, and then put in the time to make their own image of this imagined event.
