Drawgust 2024

This is the 2024 edition of Drawgust, a drawing project I haven’t done since 2021. I thought I might resurrect it this year, but with some changes: it’s shaping up to be a busy month for me, so this project will be a collection of sporadic drawings I do throughout the month, and (probably) not one drawing a day. We’ll see, of course.

Keep an eye on this space for new drawings as they appear!

A black and white illustration, meant to look like it was done in ink, featuring the word "Drawgust" with the letters cascading down the image from top left to bottom right. There is a black block with lots of hashing and squiggly hair-like lines emanating from it. At the top is a cartoon silhouette of me looking tired and nervous, with stars, a planet, and the moon all in smaller shapes around me. There is a sneaky, smiling cat on the left, hanging on the R and A. On the lower left, a hand is seen coming out of the messy black splotch, holding a stylus over a blank tablet. An hourglass can be seen behind the tablet, and there are other stars, planets and squiggles around. There is a small game controller under the D, and silhouettes of young plants growing on the lower serif of the T.
A black and white illustration of a cartoon rabbit pouring a liquid from a cup into his mouth and drinking it. The rabbit is smiling and his eyes are closed in glee. The liquid is arcing from the cup to the mouth like a rainbow. The rabbit is colored in flat black and made to look like an old cartoon. The words "take your medicine" are written in all caps above the rabbit, and skewed slightly. They are accompanied by a smiley face.
A black and white illustration of a cartoon car flying over a road. The road is curved over the words "road trip" like a ribbon and ends abruptly at the bottom of the image. The other side of it curves to the left behind the words. Behind the car is a large setting sun with two small clouds in front, and to the right is a mountain range and some trees poking out. The mountains have a "destination" marker, typically of those seen in map apps, in front. There is a small arrow, reminiscent of those on road signs, that peeks out from below the road, goes behind the word "trip", and then curves down and back to the left, ending in an arrow point.
A black and white illustration of a man with a long face and large sideburns smiling lazily at the viewer and giving them a thumbs up. The man's hair is a little long in the back and scruffy. His hairline is receding slightly on his temples, but he has a full head of hair otherwise. He has small crow's feet and wrinkles on his forehead. His head and hand are skewed/distorted, leaning to the right. He is wearing a t-shirt with a loose neck in the back. A wash of black ink fills the bottom half of the background behind him.
A black and white illustration of a cartoon rabbit wearing a headset and holding a game controller. The rabbit is squinting his eyes slightly, and the controller is angled as if the rabbit is struggling with his game. There is a small bead of sweat coming down the side of the rabbit's face, and droplets of sweat are flying off the right side of his head. Below the rabbit are the letters "GLHF", which is an acronym used in competitive games that means "good luck, have fun".
A black and white illustration of a hand with a finger puppet on the index finger. The hand is facing the viewer, in a "number one" pose, with the index finger bent down slightly. At the end of the finger is a small, squat finger puppet of a tyrannosaurus rex. It has short, chubby arms, a goofy grin with teeth sticking out, and round eyes. There is a black circle in the background behind the finger puppet, and the word "roar" is spelled vertically down the right side of the image, next to the puppet and hand.
A black and white illustration of a roll of tape that is resting on an invisible plane some distance from the viewer, with a line of unrolled tape trailing off towards the viewer. The tail has some lumps and folds and curls up into the air and back towards the roll at the end. The roll has a dark spool in the middle.
A black and white illustration of a cartoon Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz holding up a human heart and staring at it inquisitively. The Tin Man's face has a puzzled expression, and he is holding his chin with his thumb and index finger. His eyes are hollow and an empty black. The heart is proportioned in a semi-realistic way, and lines to the sides of it indicate that it is still beating. Droplets of blood are flying out of it. A cartoon heart fills the background between the Tin Man's head and the heart, with a question mark made from negative space within.
A black and white illustration of a shark looking at a glowing, fish-like shape in front of it, bearing its teeth and grinning. The fish shape is part of a pattern that fades to blackness, and appears to be the fin of a much larger shark, whose large, scowling eye is visible just below the first shark. A hint of a toothy grin on the larger shark is barely visible at the bottom of the image. The image is drawn in negative space over a black, inky rectangle centered in the image, and the water surface is visible at the top of the rectangle.
A black and white illustration of a traditional metal garbage can that is overflowing with a giant stack of garbage bags piled up inside. The lid of the garbage can is resting askew on top of the bags, and a small raccoon is leaning out from behind the bags, on the left, looking up at them. There are two bags sitting on the ground partially behind the garbage can, three bent-up soda cans, and a small puddle of unknown liquid on the left. The words "take out the trash" are stacked down the right side of the image, with tall, thin, stylized lettering. A thin arrow drops from under the word trash and juts to the right.
A black and white illustration of an egret, with its mouth open in surprise, behind a rolling banner that says "no egrets" on it. Feathers are flying around above and in front of the banner. The lettering on the banner is done in a gothic style.
A black and white illustration of a rabbit leaning back with his hands behind his head and eyes closed while piloting a small jet aircraft. The back of the jet has a large flame propelling it, and a huge black smoke cloud is trailing off. Out of view, the smoke cloud curves down and back into the frame, passing directly underneath the rabbit. The words "cool your jets" are written in white over the smoke.
A black and white illustration of a Care Bear smoking a cigarette and standing against a wall, looking tired. The Care Bear has a poop emoji on his chest where the emblem would normally go, and he is point up at some text on the wall behind him. The wall has a large black splotch of paint, with lettering in streaking white paint over it. The letters read "don't stop caring", and the 'I' is dotted with a small heart.
A black and white illustration of a cartoon rabbit sitting on a toilet looking at his phone. The viewer is positioned near floor level, near the rabbit's feet. He has on a gray shirt and his pants are around his ankles, with only the toes of his shoes poking out. He is resting his elbows on his knees, with his left hand hold his phone and his right hand crossed over to his other knee. He has a blank look on his face. The letters "BRB", which stand for "be right back", are drawn in large block lettering to the lower right of the image, under the back of the toilet.
A black and white illustration of a woman standing slumped, staring down at her phone, while her child goes crazy behind her. The woman has her hair up in a bun and looks disconnected from the world. Her belly is slightly visible because of her bad posture pulling her shirt up. The child behind her has his mouth open so wide his eyes are hidden, with his nose at the top of his head. He has his arms up and one leg kicking out, and there is a large word bubble coming from him with only three large exclamation points in it. A gray half circle fills the space behind them.
