Woot! April Fool's Mega-Post!
My pals over at Woot! have had me drawing lots of weird stuff lately. Here's a weird (and delicious) taste. Shown above is an old-fashioned papercraft gag you can download, print-out, and assemble yourself. 
Here's what the sketch looked like, and an alternate idea: 
If hi-tech gags are more your thing, check out this crazy Woot! Bag O' Crap video game I did a bunch of art for, also unveiled today:
The idea is based on these shipping icons we developed a while back:
And the levels of the game advance accordingly. I won't give EVERYTHING away but here are some sneak peeks at the levels and some of the goofy little animated snails and jittery obstacles I drew. Level 1 / Sidewalk / On "Foot":
I love making animated .GIFs.
Level 2 / Highway / On Wheels:
Level 3 / Sky / Jet Plane:
Flying Spaghetti-O's Monster:
Level 4 / Space / Rocket Ship:
If that doesn't whet your apetite to play CRAPSHOOT! I don't know what will. Happy April Fool's Day, everyone!

Great post! Love all those silly gifs. Sending my students here later today.
Only made it to level 2, didn't get to see the rocket snail or anything like that. Good post!
I built that woot papercraft creation! It turned out fairly well, too. I posted some pictures on my blog: Decultured - Woot Papercraft Mixed Nuts Prank
Thanks! Happy that you made a serious go of that silly project.
