Robot Practice
Poor Max Badger, I feel like every interaction we have ends with him howling in disconsolate helplessness. At the Friends of the Nib jam at the Olympic Sculpture Park, I got bored and dedicated myself to drawing Iron Fist, turning a somber and navel-gazing Wyeth-centric jam into a spontaneous paean to Danny Rand. "Why did you turn Helga into Iron Fist?" he pleaded with me, then begged me to not ask Power Man and Iron Fist trivia of the attendees.
Several weeks back, I caught Max doing some experimental illustrations - he'd lay wide swaths of marker color down on paper and then ink around the abstract shapes to create robots. It looked like fun, so I started trying some of my own. "Don't let this become a thing," he said, "I don't want this to become a thing."
When I was halfway through this piece, someone else saw us drawing abstract robots, and asked to borrow a marker. "I don't want this to become a thing." Max insisted again.
Then someone else asked. "Max really doesn't want this to become a thing," I suggested, trying to help. Then more people joined in.
Anyway, it became a thing, and will very likely become an internet thing now. Sorry Max Badger, poor Max Badger.
(PS - Adam Watson drew the ... "m". That was his contribution. Please don't let it become a thing)
