Doodle Derive by Bear Farmer

INSTRUCTIONS: Cast aside your normal motivations for drawing. Draw things that attract you on things that attract you.

So i didn't so much draw as paint, and didn't so much paint as drip, drag, and roll this one. I used a Jackson Pollock-esque approach to tie-dye (something that attracts my eyes as well as my slight-hippie mentality) my cigarettes, the medium of attraction upon which to draw (drip, roll, tie-dye). The results were pretty good, minus the feeling that I may be smoking a Crayola*.


*Tie-dye done with food coloring, not crayons; didn't want to smoke wax, or markers. I felt food coloring was best. Either way, I'm sure what's in the cigarettes is probably worse than any coloring I might have added.

Cigarettes + Food Coloring = Jackson Pollock's Choice Tobacco Product. On the fourth I had abandoned the roll technique and tried a dripping technique. Both worked fairly well.

Probably should have let them dry a bit longer, the tobacco seemed to still be moist, and the cigarette burned very slowly.

Even a tiny dog won't smoke colorful cigarettes; why would you?
