This is the first piece in my collection of fine artwork known as reporter doodles. It was drawn Monday, July 16 using a red Bic ink pen. Many critics consider it minimalism, but I personally feel it has characteristics more in-line with the neo-expressionism movement. Let me walk you through it using the numbered items on the drawing.

1. This is a big ass musical note, an eighth note, if I remember correctly. I think I started drawing something else, and it looked dumb, so I scribbled over it and drew this note.

2. The second item in this piece of work is a man with a mullet. I also drew him throwing up some metal horns with his right hand. If you look closely at his legs, you'll notice he's wearing cutoff shorts.

3. What are these things called? Everybody has drawn at least one of these in their lifetime.

4. Breaking up the monotony of this picture is a handwritten observation. It reads "Two dudes in tank tops who've never been @ a meeting decided they could talk whenever they wanted."

5. Handguns are my go-to drawing. For some reason, This one was a massive flame coming out of the barrel.
