Blind Contour Friday Again
This is one of the many valves and pipes in my laundry room. I don't know what this one is supposed to do — I turned it a couple of times and when I came back upstairs the trash truck arrived. It must be some sort of signaling system.I have to admit I cheated on this one. Obviously I had to look at the drawing when I switched from the red pen to the black, but then when I drew the bit of hose that descends below view, I looked again to finish the back of the pipe. I can understand if I am ostracized from further Blind Contour Fridays, but in my defense I'd like to say LOOK BEHIND YOU *run, run, run*...

The process reminds me of those mystery projects at the BACK of the Spirograph "recipe book" that don't show you what it'll look like when it's done. It's a SURPRISE, you know?
Mine always wound up looking like Mojo. Same with my Lite-Brite.
Kevin, any chance of a Mojo in Blind Contour Land comic, sort of in the Bill Griffy Griffin mode?

a lot of people look once or twice. youre just not supposed to tell anyone. the addition of a second color or line weight helps the composition of these a lot. i'll have to do something different next week.

I like! The red/black thing really adds a lot--have you been reading Stendhal?

Niff - I figured the red would be alright - just following your lead :D
John Nick - Mojo has visited Blind Contour Land. He was on his way to work...
Sutter - I wasn't supposed to tell? Oh.. in that case... I didn't look. *crosses arms in satisfaction*.
Laura - I don't believe I have... Stendhal? Fill me in!

I just got the blind guy in my office to take a look at this picture, but he couldn't see anything. What gives?

When I first looked at it, I thought it was a death ray machine, with the red being the "whurrr whurr whurrr" of the ray and I thought, 'Where does one find a death ray? Is it Mojo's?

stendhal wrote a novel called the red and the black (that's the english translation, of course). it's a good specimen of that type of french novel in which an ambitious young man gets involved in all sorts of sexual/political imbroglios that by the end of the novel leave him wiser about the ways of the world (and or dead). it's worth a look if you like that kind of thing.

Hey, wait! It was MY Stendhal FIRST! *grabs the Head Advisor on Literature tiara from rival claimant's head*
14. bearskinrug
