lost forever

words exhausted
everyday routine
words never known
outside my mind
occasionally shared by another
i'm not alone
my consoling shoulder
so many feelings
profound proclamations
momentary pleasures
lost forever
i feel alone
what would have been
if only those words were heard
and experienced by others
how would i be perceived
if those words were shared
with the world

In no way is my sketch affiliated with Ian's documentary,...

except for maybe the message on the guys T-shirt.

WARNING: NAKED LADIES - COVER YOUR EYES!!!!!

a couple of my friends! ;)

i can handle coffee stains (as opposed to ink stains); if ingested, the caffeine fucks with my third eye (drinking ink is bad).

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

don't cry over spilt coffee

This cartoon is more so an inside joke between myself and a few friends; then again maybe it's just an inside joke between Me, Myself & I (aka the voices in my head). ;) Long story short,... there were two women sitting across the room from us at a local lounge/restaurant; one was a slender brunette and the other was a blonde with big boobies; we found out later that the blonde just recently had a baby which explained why her breasts were so large. Wasn't that an exciting story?! I knew that you'd love it!! ;) *SIGH* Unfortunately nobody was crying over spilt milk that night,... only spilt coffee. *GROAN* The entire spilt coffee scenario in reality never happened, but it did really happen in my mind, hence the dramatic cartoon reenactment! ;)

ps. it's one of those cartoons that doesn't make much sense unless you were there, or have your mind in the gutter on a regular basis (like myself); hence the little story to accompany the cartoon so that there would be less head scratching. 
btw, the scribbles surrounding the main cartoon panel have nothing to do with the cartoon itself; i simply liked the look of the page in general. enjoy.

happy ho-ho yo! ~go

...& best wishes for 2010! :)

peace.

new year oddities

i drew this on white paper, that was lying flat on a tv tray while i was sitting down on a sofa (w/ my feet up [opposed to someone else's feet up]) watching television (mostly with my ears). my kids don't clean up after themselves very well (neither do i, according to the other parent who just happens to reside in the exact same living quarters as both myself and the kidlings); there were tons of felt markers scattered around the (carpeted) wreck-room floor, (you guessed it) in the basement. the actual size of this drawing is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"; highlights were added with one of those stubby blue pentel brand fine point correction pens (multi-purpose / quick dry). thanks for stopping by my blog and looking at my strange but true artwork and reading my extremely exciting life stories. *sigh* have a nice day.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2008

i am everyday sheeple

'i am everyday sheeple' ©2008 GregOakes.com

the month of november 2008
a strange one indeed
i watch the sheeple
consume out of want
not conscious enough
out of need
it's a master design
a marketing marvel
they get you where it counts
thin air produces money
which is anything but funny
as keeping up with the joneses mounts!

i hate the suppression of truth

 'blocks of thought' ©2008 GregOakes.com

all of these years
before i was blinded
i translated
blocks of thought
whatever that means
to you my dear
take it or let it rot
it's far too heavy
for you to digest
so please don't
strain yourself
it's hard enough
for me to process
so WE are here
to help
