The Mattress Man Cometh
Posted by E. G. Gauger
The despair in the room was palpable, and the horrific drawing was responsible. My head, gravid with newly generated misery, took a massive effort to lift to examine the room around us. People, once happily chattering, dining on late night meals and delicious pies, were now collapsed without the will to go on. I take partial responsibility, but mostly it was Goldberg. I’m pretty sure of it.
Artist Jhonen Vasquez (with J. R. Goldberg on drums) uses this monster to learn to take a design from a napkin sketch at a house of pies, to this delightfully scalable vector in a single evening, and not cry too much at the same time.
It Came From the House of Pies. [Mindspill]

Spongebob! Only maybe twisted by the Ruinous Powers.

It was actually drawn in his sketch book and not on a napkin, which is even crazier to think he would risk wasting an entire page on something so monstrous.

How the hell is this a waste of sketchbook space?

I LOVE Goldberg’s art so much, I dare speak her name.

What an amazing little pie creature! I aspire to be as grand as he when I am older.
