Admittedly, the whole “Successories” thing seems to have run its mid-’90s course. That doesn’t mean that there’s no perfectly good reason to continue to produce satirical imagery (Despair.com’s raison d’être).

Thus, I present to you some of my own mediocre “prints,” originally inspired by a now-defunct thread on the Something Awful forums:

Creating these images was also an excuse to show off some of my photography, though I’m pretty sure a retouched photo of a demolished cube farm isn’t the most arresting thing you’ll ever see.

I was browsing around the random bits and bytes clogging my hard drive when I stumbled upon an ancient collection of lost art! All right, by “ancient” I mean one or two years old, and by “art” I mean mediocre, tasteless scribblings.

Where’d they come from? Why do they exist? Excellent questions, all! And I have some answers, though their excellence most likely pales in comparison to that of the questions: sometimes people at the Something Awful forums like to put little pictures next to their names when they post, and sometimes, I like to draw those little pictures. (Which can be no larger than 125×125 pixels and must be less than 30K.)
