Why Did it Have to be Snake?

You can find some unexpected things in ancient tombs.

Indiana Jones finds some unexpected puzzles in most of the tomb he explores, but none as dastardly as the 90's phone classic, Snake. He hates Snake.

Sometimes you get a pun stuck in your head and it just won't go away. In cases like that I always think its best to give in and just draw it. Sometimes the result can be a bit more fun than you thought. I imagine Indy would hate this game just as much as the creature. There's probably more reason to dislike the game thinking about it. Its just so frustrating! It never reaches a conclusion which always makes you want to play again. My finger slipped off the key, I got distracted at the wrong moment, there are a million reasons you failed and they all make you want to have one more go.

Anyway, if you love snake (and Indiana Jones) as much as I do, you might like this design hanging on your wall, or on your phone. Or something else. I don't know! Just check it out at Redbubble and Society6 or get all the info at the Doodle Dojo Store.

Game of Jones

These things belong in a museum!

I might have mentioned that I'm an Indiana Jones fan before. If not then this is the time I mentioned it. Anyway, one day I was looking at a Game of Thrones design and there was an Indy picture further down the page when I noticed the rhyme. Of course that's not enough to suggest a design on its own, but when I started thinking about the iron throne itself I wondered what Indy would have made his out of. That's when I started trying to remember all the weapons and artefacts I could think of from the Indy films and realised that it might be worth a go. Several sketch pad pages and a fair bit of re-watching Indy later, this is what I came up with. I tried to include as many long, mostly pointy things as I could and I'm quite pleased with the final result.

It seems there are some other people out there who like it too, which is why this design has been picked up by Shirtpunch.com. So on Sunday, September 23rd this design will be on sale there for 24 hours only. Its only $10 on a T-shirt and they also do a great range of stickers, magnets, hoodies and other stuff too. So if the timing is right, go and check it out.

If you do happen to miss the sale don't worry. This design is also available at Redbubble and Society6 as usual, you can find all the details on the Doodle Dojo Store.

Big Red Balls of Doom

Indy's most challenging challenge

Finally a break from the science fiction! Total Wipeout (or just plain Wipeout in the US) is one of those shows that is a real guilty pleasure to watch. It shouldn't be as funny as it is to watch people falling over and getting knocked down, but everyone enjoys seeing it anyway. So I was wondering just what it would take to make it over the big red balls when I suddenly realised. It would take Indiana Jones.

This is one of those drawings that was pretty much complete in my head as soon as I had the idea. Then it was just a case of getting it down.

As usual you can find it on Society6. Check out the Doodle Dojo Store for more details.
