Cooper Black Sabbath

'Cooper Black Sabbath' | Daily Drawing #297

A hand-drawn typography pun merging the worst typeface with the best band of the 70's.

It was one of those things that were hilarious when it popped into my head, but I'm so tired right now I have no clue.

Stop Doing Shit You Hate

'Stop Doing Shit You Hate' | Daily Drawing #277.

I was pressed for time so today's drawing is a time-lapse video. I've been doing quite a few of these lately. For the video capture I've been using the Hyperlapse app from Instagram. It's a dead-simple time-lapse app that makes it easy to post to Instagram, where I post many of these videos.
I can't say I'm happy with the video quality once I uploaded the clip to YouTube. Next time I'll try editing and uploading the raw time-lapse footage versus the edited and filtered Instagram video.

For more of my time-lapse videos, follow me on Instagram.
