Me mom be a real artist. Unfortunately, she shared none o’ th’ artistic aptitude when passin’ ou’ th’ family genes.
But who needs creative talent when ye`ve got somethin’ like th’ Scribbler?
Arrr, so ’tis more o’ a modern art generator, but ’tis still pretty cool an’ lots o’ fun t’ play wi’. I wasted a good hour durin’ swim practice on this wee time sink.
First, ye draw a wee stick figure that be th’ foundation fer yer scribble. (After playin’ wi’ ‘t a couple o’ times, I reckoned I be probably better off drawin’ geometric images.)
Then ye press th’ “START SCRIBBLER” button an’ watch what happens, startin’ an’ pausin’ th’ Scribbler in order t’ adjust th’ settings t’ yer likin’.
Ye can control th’ width o’ th’ scribble lines, th’ color, th’ transparency an’ e’en th’ amount o’ “scribbliness.”
Dasn’t like what ye be seein’? Hit “CLEAR SCRIBBLE.” But dasn’t hit th’ “START OVER” button unless ye want t’ redraw yer base design.
Take a eyeball th’ Scribbler Gallery fer more ideas.
An’ if ye want t’ learn how t’ talk like a buccanneer, go here, ya lily livered scurvy cur!
(And thanks t’ th’ scalawag TC fer remindin’ me!)
I’m so excited it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day that I can’t concentrate on anything else. 🙂
Yer don’t need no talent to make a Black Spot…
Ack! Not a time sink that yells for me to get lost with it.
Oh no! Must resist. Must write. Must…scribble and walk like a pirate. No, talk like one.
Looks like I’ve a scurvy brain with holes.
Thanks for the link, Bonnie. It may be a keeper.
Watch out for Honey, she has Pirate Pete in her WIP and he’s a rascal. 😉
Aye Matey, that was more fun than a treasure hunt with parrot and an eye patch. Now I’ve got two things to keep me from writing today. Aaron Lazar sent me the other. Want to try your hand at it?

my mother is a graphic artist (by trade) and I have little to none of her talent where that lies – I know what I want to do in my mind… but it never comes out that way… I guess I will stick to words…. 😉
I love this post as, believe it or not, that is exactly how I used to talk as a teenager! I had a Bristol, UK [that be Long John Silver country, ye know] accent which used to drive my poor Dad crazy!
The talk like a pirate thing takes too much energy, today! I love that fact that you find me all of these things to waste all my time on rather than the important task of blog hopping!!!
I was born a scribbler and will probably die as one. Why wasn’t this around when I was a younger kid.
Your scribbles turned out looking pretty cool. Mine looked yucky even after the scribbler got ahold of them. Hence the phrase “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear”!
oooohhhhh, so much fun, so little time, so many thanks to you! This is my new favorite fun site.
Oh, that’s addictive. Thanks!
Regarding the buccaneer talk: I had trouble enough writing like a scurvy cur this morning. :~)
Thanks for the link recip! Aye, matey. I’m honored, so I am.
Hey, guys! I’m swamped. No time to post!
But I did want to point out the best-looking scribbles in my post were from the Scribbler Gallery. The face, and that town—I only WISH I had that kind of talent. I just do circles. And squares. I’m pretty good at lines, too. LOL!
I’d also like to welcome Steve Glossin to my site—thanks for dropping in, Steve.
And thanks for the link to the Superman game, Lesia! I stink at it!
Even with scribbler, I can’t draw.
That’s really kind of cool! ~ jb///
