Meet Meemo

Meemo was orginally a product of my frustration with assignments back in college. I'm a graduate now. Almost on a daily basis, I have to write at least a thousand words that make me sound really profound and smart.

Meemo as you have guessed, is a really bitter, bitter stick figure. Emo most of the time, one of the bigger problems he has with himself is his ego. Emo or ego, who cares, really?

Someone once posted an interesting question in the other blog and Meemo wanted to answer...

your Meemo is kinda cute, but why portrayed him around da negative environment? he looks sad. maybe you should cheer him up by illustrating him in the brighter and more cheerful kind of environment next time. ;)

hi anonymous,

Actually the idea is to get him into a mismatch/ironic type of situation. If you realise, most (if not all) of the environment he's in is a very happy one. Lots of clouds in blue skies, green grasses, flowers and the sort. The only 'negative element' is probably Meemo himself. He seems to create an anti-joy in the smallest of things ruining his day ALL BY HIMSELF.

A friend of mine once said "sometimes, problems are just self-created" which I find to be absolutely true. However, at the end of the day, most people find these drawings cute. Stop to ponder, isn't it a little sad to feel enlightened by a sad little stick figure? Aha...see how everything is just wrapped up in a big parcel of ironic ironicness iron iro...wateverrrrr. ;)

Seeing that this is the first appearance of Meemo, I will be generous and share two drawings.

This was what inspired the birth of Meemo. Possibly the first Meemo sighting.

And seeing that Meemo was introducted here aided with a question, this is what Meemo thinks of questions.

*F.A.Q. Background inspired by the movie 300. The scene when the Queen asks Leonidas to return home, with his shield or on it.
