In Lieu Of

Hi Everybody.

Welp, here's a silly self-portrait in lieu of anything more substantive... just something to post for the time being.

Hope you all have a pleasant weekend... I've had about 15 cups of coffee so far today, and I'm about to top that off with some gin. Good times!

That's a really good drawing, Jeffrey. Really [i] good.
I've been drinking tons of gin lately too and I probably drink around 10 cups of coffee per day. Trying to quit smoking too- chewing that horrible chemical gum as I type this..

Jeffrey Meyer said...

Thanks, Luke. I promise I'll start posting more than variations of the sme self-portrait over and over, ha ha.

Ah, cigarettes.

I've smoked on and off for about 15 years... but somehow I've never had a "habit". Very strange. I do crave cigarettes - especially after meals and when I drink - but my constitution won't allow me to smoke more than one or two sticks a day, and I generally only smoke one or two per week, if that.

Nothing beats a good smoke.

Welcome to EBD Jeffrey! I've always loved the stuff you posted on TCJ, so It's a pleasure to have you onboard.

Also: Happy Birthday Jeffrey Meyer!


How old are all of us here?
I kind of assumed we were all roughly around the same age.
I'll be thirty in a few months here.
I'm getting gray hairs to boot..*












*Only my pubes, mind you.

Oh geez, I'm 37, and fading fast.

Luke P. said...

Hey, a belated welcome aboard Jeffrey, that's an excellent self portrait up there, i must admit, browsing your site, that i liked more your drawings than the collages for the time being, and here comes the more assbackwards suggestion ever, have you thought of using the collages as a sketch idea? do a collage and then do a wild interpretation of it in drawing?

you have a very stilish & forceful drawing line, i wonder what it will come out of it?

And yeah, i turned 37 on may 7, front tooth missing and all, thankfully tomorrow i'm getting the fake one screwed on, i've avoiding smiling for a month (no big deal)

But yeah, i'm old enough to remember not only a time without internet; i'm old enough to remember black & white television sets, the outhouse toilet of mass hypnosis appliances

Thanks, everyone.

Actually, David, I have thought of enlarging the collages as paintings... but I can't handle paint for shit. I've scanned a few into Photoshop and run them through the wringer to get a whole new image... but I guess I could do that as easily with any old picture (a lot of my digital work - only three or four are posted on my site - is just porn found online and transformed as much as I can manage with my limited computer skills).

It's an interesting idea to make *drawings* from the collages, though, because they're more about colors and textures than linework... when I draw, I'm definitely a "line guy".

Kinda looks like a zombie, and I'm the ripe old age of 30.
