    Don’t you wish your artwork was hot like mine?

    August 28th, 2008 by Jared

    I was going through some old artwork that I created somewhere around age 12 and I found these gems.

    I hope you find them as funny as I do.

    "Jared's Cones" - A study in ice cream

    Assorted animal sketches and a really bad doodle of my dad (I don't really know what that creature in the middle is...)

    The old gas station (I think that lawn mower is painted on the wall)

    The hot air balloons (Who wouldn't want to ride in a hot air balloon shaped like a shoe?)

    The boat with no oars (This one actually has some meaning.  See how the girl is enjoying herself and the guy is bored?)

      Very nice. :)

      Does that girl have one arm?

    2. jared:

      It would appear so, although it’s right along the side of the boat. Not very good placement.

    3. Jenn:

      Not to brag or anything, but you know that my artwork can totally top that. Oh, and there is NO need to show off my drawing of what I think was Wisconsin that you had put up on your website quite a while back. :)

    4. Jared:

      This one? http://www.mellentine.com/2006/12/10/somewhere-in-there-is-wisconsin/

      It took you over a week to respond to me and that was all I got…that is just sad. Now I know that you are just jealous.

    6. Jared:

      My blog stopped letting me know when people comment. I can’t be held responsible for that. I need some sort of web developer to fix it.

    7. Jenn:

      I could probably do that for you too! :) You know me and computers.

    8. Jared:

      Good point, I’ll send you the code. :)

      Napoleon Dynamite: Well, nobody’s going to go out with *me*!
      Pedro: Have you asked anybody yet?
      Napoleon Dynamite: No, but who would? I don’t even have any good skills.
      Pedro: What do you mean?
      Napoleon Dynamite: You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills… Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
      Pedro: Aren’t you pretty good at drawing, like animals and warriors and stuff?
      Napoleon Dynamite: Yes… probably the best that I know of.
      Pedro: Just draw a picture of the girl you want to take out… and give it to her for like a gift or something.
      Napoleon Dynamite: That’s a pretty good idea.

    10. Sarah Martin:

      you’re pretty good at drawing, too, Jared. like “cones” and lawnmowers and stuff.
