Silly Pictures Series 2

Silly Pictures Page 2

September, 1993, It was the first day of school in Grade V.  I took out a blank piece of paper and started to draw a bunch of random silly pictures that depict events from the video games I played.  I also drawn pictures related to automatic car washes.

The sketches are re-imagined from the original sketches I drawn at school.

The Wigglers

 

 

The Wigglers is the first thing you see as you approach the car wash tunnel.  They can be very scary and strange to drive into if it's your first trip to the car wash..  The Wigglers are also known as Flappers.  The real term is the Mitter Curtain.  When I was a child, I also called the wigglers a curtain because they remind me of window curtains.

  

The Umper

 

The Umper is a dryer in a car wash.  This dryer dries the car with heat lamps.  The first car wash I visited had a dryer like this was the Parkway Car Wash on Sheppard Ave.  This dryer can be scary because of the sounds it makes.  It makes an Ump sound as the lights flicker on and off.

The Hair Dryer

 

The Hair Dryer is the typical vaccuum dryer you see in car wahes of the the 1980's and beynd.  This dryer will roll up the windshield and suck the water off your car.  I drawn this picture in inspiration after my grandfather took me through the Canadian Tire Car Wash at 2370 Finch Avenue West in North York

A Door in City Hall (Robo Cop NES)

 

This is a door in City Hall.  I borrowed Robo Cop for the NES over the summer of 1993 from a class mate.  City Hall is the second level in Robo Cop for the NES.


Later in the 1993 - 1994 School year I have drawn other silly pictures like the Electric Cross and other weird crucifixion pictures on the back cover of my writing book.

Keep your ears to the tracks for more silly pictures.

Silly Pictures, Series 1

What was a "Silly Picture"

In 1993, I was sitting in class and a thought came though my head and I drawn it on a cardboard pencil box.  Some pictures were considered disturbing and inappropriate for a grade IV class.

The pictures were originally doodles and I used Leonardo AI Image Generator to make the re

Under The Knife

 

Under The Knife was my first silly picture I have drawn.  The idea came from a category in the "$100,000 Pyramid" game show.  When I thought of Under The Knife came into my head in Grade IV, I drawn this picture below.  I thought it may mean a person is on a table under a giant knife.  The term means you are undergoing surgery.

Untitled

 

This was the second picture I drawn on my pencil case in Grade IV.  I got the idea of this picture from an episode of Danger Mouse.  I do not recall the episode title, one day I will find it.

The Electric Chair in the Air

 

The Electric Chair in the Air was created from a combination of two scenes from two seperate films.  The tall back Electric Chair was from "Ernest Goes to Jail".  The Chair was elevated came was a thought that came out of my head after watching "The Death of the Incredible Hulk".

 A week later the picture was destroyed by my teacher because I was sat and giggled at this picture.

The Finger Pointing

 

 

In October, 1993, I drawn another silly picture entitled "The Finger Pointing."  This picture depicts a person getting into trouble with his parents after doing something that was not acceptable.  The picture was drawn initially on an Evaluation Sheet upon conclusion of the "Weather Unit" in Grade V Environmental Studies class.

The Elevator Door and Slaxx (Interior)

 

This is a favourite Silly picture I drawn in my math workbook in Grade V.  I drawn this pictue when I heard the movie "The Mouse And the Motorcycle" playing in Mrs Pidgeon's classroom. I was inspired to draw this picture because I heard the music of my favourite scene when the mouse was riding around the hotel onboard a toy ambulance towards the elevator.
