Thanks, everyone. I usually draw on very rough Canson paper with a soft pencil. I've found a tool that mimics the effect.

tRemendous!

craaazy, very nicely done!

wonderful way to leave your stamp. good to see your draws and poetry.

Poignant poem and draw..Love your signature style..

Thats shit is awsome i love the comic style shading and your line work is great.

nice drawing. "in the future, man shall transform into humanoid pez dispensers." that's cool.

Great composition and awesome concept.

i like his blank expression...that creepy disconnected look you see in the eyes of a a true addict.

i like this a lot, great job!! :)

Hella stylish..Love those facial expressions..

Cool style man. The face panel at bottom is particularly good.

looking cool. i certainly hope that's a tan member's only jacket. nothing gets me hotter. okay, maybe sports socks with tivo's...

it's a struggle either way, but mentally faves this

I can't believe I never commented on one of my favorite drawings here.

cool!

even though I don't know what a flan is, I like the artistic ability that you have demonstrated here. I think that flan is short for fu flux flan, but I could be mistaken.

It's a french custard dessert with a carmel sauce

thanks all...what is flan? oh thug, how can you say you've lived? i'll share my secret family recipe with you all, my dear friends. (actually i clipped it from the sf chronicle's mexican food section about 3 years ago.)

mexican flan

1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks (room temperature)
2 whole eggs (room temperature)
24 ounces condensed milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (mexican vanilla, if available)

preheat oven to 350 degrees f.

place the 1 cup sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and caramelize over medium heat at first, swirl the pan over the heat, but do not stir (this will cause it to clump). after about 8 minutes, when the sugar has begun to liquefy, stir with a heavy spoon. when the caramel turns light brown, quickly (and carefully burns are painful) pour into a 2-quart glass dish or mold. tip pan so caramel coats the bottom and up sides of mold. work fast; caramel hardens quickly.

using a whisk, beat together the egg yolks, eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. mixture should be well-blended but not frothy. pour into the caramelized mold. cover with the flan mold with a lid. (this prevents the top from overcooking). place the mold in a larger pan (such as a roasting pan) and pour in about 1 1/2 inches of hot water.

place on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for approximately 65 minutes. after 55 minutes, open the oven door and test the flan by inserting the thinnest knife you own into the middle of the flan. do not go all the way to the bottom. if large curds cling to the knife the flan is not yet done. give it about 10 minutes longer. if just a film of custard clings to the knife, the flan is done. When you jiggle the mold, the custard should shimmer in the middle but look cooked around the edge.

remove from oven and cool mold on a rack. the flan will continue to cook for about an hour after being removed from the oven. during this time it will set up. refrigerate at least 2 hours before unmolding.

unmold...
run a thin, sharp knife around the edge of the flan. move the pan from side to side to see if the flan is slipping and free from the edges of the pan. place a flat serving platter with a raised rim on top of the mold. Holding the platter and mold together tightly, flip them over. the flan should slip easily onto the platter, along with most of the caramel sauce. use a spoon to remove more caramel and spoon it around the custard. the bottom of the pan will have a hard layer of caramel still on it.

serve...
cut flan into wedges spooning caramel sauce over each slice.

serves 12

thanks all. still shy with the groovy fx tools other than the single pixel pencil.

yummy draw!

I love that steam effect. :D Cool picture, I can see this as being a cover for a halloween movie or book.

"I'll wait here while you get me a big glass of water."

hang on i think i have some vintage evian from the quake of 1989. "whos afraid of the big bad pig?"

I shall grunt and I shall snort and I shall quaff your vintage Evian down.
