If you don't know what add-on drawings are, they are exactly what they sound like. These special drawings need at least two people to be completed. To start, one person draws whatever they wish on a blank sheet of paper. It's usually a shape with no particular contours or sense. And then the paper with said shape is passed to the next person, who adds something to it. The paper goes back and forth, or around the group, and eventually an image, whatever it may be, starts to take a distinguishable form. Except what usually happens (and should happen, in my opinion), is it becomes nonsense made into a tangible, perceivable form. Here are two add-ons I did recently. I'm pretty sure the words I'm going to use to describe them were never strung together in the same order in any sentence in the history of the English language.
I don't even know where to start in describing this "scene." So there are these mountains in the center (that I called the Alps when I drew them), and the one in the foreground has what appears to be a toilet at its summit. Growing from the toilet's water tank is this some sort of spirally tree. There is a man diving into the toilet bowl, and he appears to have been pooped out of an eagle holding the American flag. On another mountain is a "romanticized poop." The entire scene is about to be devoured by a gargantuan gaping mouth. The spirally tree is patterned on its cheek. Off the mouth's upper lip, a tiny figure is swinging on a vine. On the other side of the picture, a shark is leaving the scene. On its fin is a trellis under which a bride and groom are standing. Oh, right, ignore the math homework that's above the add-on drawing, that's not part of it.
Here is another one I did recently. Unlike the last one, it actually has some semblance of composition among the elements in the picture. So there's this dinner table with two people sitting across each other (okay, that sentence has certainly been uttered in the English language before but whatever). One of the people has a severed head as his meal, and he is wearing a striped shirt and has snakes as hair like Medusa does. He is saying "hon non non baguette," with eyes in a state of frenzy, while holding a baguette that has a bucktoothed face. Across him is a lady eating a plate of question marks. Over to the side is a figure with a strange resemblance to Abe Lincoln except he has a completely bald shining head. He's got overly simplified wings, a unibrow, a big-ass sword, and paws instead of feet. He looks at the table disapprovingly.
The creativity of the human psyche is limitless, especially when two or more individuals are in unplanned collaboration.
