Horse with Hands Riding a Bike

i would be happy to see more blogs and websites that stimulate our creativity by offering us a fairly specific topic and invite our submissions-- sort of like skull-a-day and how they managed to help me turn a trip to the laundromat into a smelly skull.

by all means, i enjoy videos of people falling into fountains because they're texting while walking, but there is a huge part of my mind that needs stimulation beyond slapstick. sort of how i don't mind watching comedy central, but need to watch the discovery channel here and there as well.

neatorama is a great site for mind-exercising brilliance, and i was there when i stumbled across a site awkwardly named horse with hands riding a bike. at this stage, the blog has only been running for a week or two-- but i'm excited to see it take off. here's the purpose for the sentence-long title:

A horse is difficult to draw.
Hands are difficult to draw.
Bicycles are difficult to draw.

So to draw all three is just cussing mind blowing.

and they invite any and all of us to submit our best attempts at the trifecta of doodling difficulties. which i definitely did.

it may not have gotten me any closer to a new illustration gig, but it certainly was fun.

and now, even though horse with hands riding a bike does not belong to me, i invite you to submit as well. and, if not, at least peruse the varying styles of those who have. it's good times. and it makes your roommates look at you strangely.

p.s. - thanks for the plug, horse with hands riding a bike.
