Category: Hundred Dollar Drawings
“Contraceptual Art” for Richard
In general, for me, the easier something is to draw, the better the result. This Hundred Dollar Drawing was not easy. I appreciate the two-word challenge though!
“Fake Jews” for Hans
Drawing stuff like this is so fraught. A few weeks ago someone thought this $100 Copyright Troll was racist, because it looked like a racist’s caricature of a Jew (I argued that if you can’t draw evil trolls because racists use them to represent Jews, then the racists won). Some people will say this is drawing racist too, missing that it’s a satire of racism.
“2020” for Linda
First Hundred Dollar Drawing of 2021! There’s a two-word maximum for these (see rules), but you can certainly limit your commission to one word, or, as in this case, no words at all – just a number.
“Voluptuous Elf” for Ravi
I just live-drew this $100 Drawing on Break the Rules. My goal was to end the “voluptuous elf” genre. I don’t think I succeeded, but perhaps I brought us one step closer.
Happy New Year!
$100 Drawing LIVE
In November, this recumbent nerd was featured on the Laidback Bike Report:
I subsequently joined the show’s regular “panel” of recumbent nerds. Since this involves mostly listening to other recumbent nerds for an hour or more, I used that time to make this $100 Drawing:
We’re gonna make that a regular thing, where I make a $100 Drawing live on the show, with occasional thrilling shots like this:
The next Laidback Bike Report is Sunday January 3 at 2pm EST. If you commission a $100 Drawing between now and then, I could draw it live. I actually need some method to choose which commission to do live; right now I’ll just pick one. We don’t know if there’s really demand for this thrilling media opportunity. If there is, maybe we could create a way to “reserve” the Live spot, via a premium. Suggestions welcome, please comment if you have any ideas.
