ArtisticBoredom was started in 2010 by an individual who loved to draw, but only did so when he was bored as hell in his school. This is a collection of his artwork, which with the help of boring ass teachers and uneventful times, he wants to share with the world.



ArtisticBoredom believes that when someone tries to hard to make an artistic masterpiece, it does not happen as well as when they draw instead of straight up off-ing themselves.



We want YOUR WORK! No matter how nice, how messy, or even if it just plain sucks! We feature the following, and are always open to ideas : Artwork in school (on notes, on tables, on the girl sitting next to you), Funny graffiti (in buses, elevators, bathroom stalls, trains), and even artwork that youve done when you just had nothing to do.



Please email it to
ArtisticBoredom@gmail.com

And please come back daily because we always update. Love (only sometimes), -ArtisticBoredom.

Fabio Lima Collection Part 2

Rest assured, the past weekend your bicycles and other ugly non-automobile ways of getting around have been safe. The animal aka Fabio got sick with shingles, but thankfully he is better.


The Collection continues by the way, I have multiple shots, I will post 2 at a time, periodically. Keep your panties on ladies. Although for him they can come off. It is not a problem.

How everyone should do shots!

Coming up, the Fabio Collection

Me and my team (ok its just me and whoever decides to roll with me when i go drinking on the weekends) have been working diligently on the Fabio Collection. This collection is a work in progress, and has been in the works for months. In fact, it is only the beginning..... we are still working on it.
Basically, my good friend Fabio is a menace to any bicycle, scooter, vespa,  the chinese delivery motorcycle which looks like the Harley Davidson for pussies, parked on the streets of NYC in the morning.

 Here is a sneak peak at this phenomenon. Much more coming soon.

If this is your bicycle, thanks for leaving the stupid chain on jackass. All my man wanted was a quick ride around the block but no, the bike would not move. Fuck you to the owner.

Who would want their wife back?

So someone did this poor poor man a favor. Guy made such a drastic mistake (marriage), but karma served him right. The years of sharing his stolen kfc (or now kgc?) chicken with billy and joey has payed off. Finally, someone took that nasty bitch away. Great excuse to get some fresh ass.... or at the very least try to get a shower so your own ass is finally fresh.

Anyway, this man is better then most, hes actually fighting for his wife back. He collected his 4 dollars and 22 cents and all he needs is a little more to get to that 5 dollars (yes my math sucks, fuck you, I was vice prez of my colleges math club for a semester however.....whos luaghin...ok ill stop).

Loved this pic.

Internet Craze

Son of a computer programmer, I am illiterate. Barely passed computer core class in college, I am still amazed at wtf twitter and facebook are. I cant believe you can write on a little keyboard and seconds later someone gets your messege on their own phone, and all this other junk.

I am venturing into the deep oceans however. I am tweeting like a motherfucker. I am downloading torrents and shit. Even got myself a bangbros password, FUCK viruses from shady porn sites, YES I am looking at you Biglatinaassandtitties.com.

On a serious note, my friend has developed a really cool concept, you tweet a link, and when you hookup adbrite or other account, you can get paid when people click on your link. Check it out : www.MyLinksMyAds.com ......... Also, I am back on twitter so please follow me at Twitter.com/alexecklin

Back to the NOT FORGOTTEN, but shamefully neglected

My main man over here is also on that internet grind. My dude got himself a paypal, so if you cheap ass business men who only carry hundreds can spare a 10 or a 20 through paypal hit him up.



*I may or may not be sharing profits with said homeless man. Dont hate.

Erotic City?

I think my buddy Jose spotted George Clinton on Bleeker street. George Clinton is THE MAN! I love his music, if your still outdated like me you can buy and listen to his CD on your CDplayer. Damn I feel weird about even writing that.
Best of
Well here is the George Clinton Lookalike. Except he doesnt have streaked colored hair or the style of the original!

Here is one of my all time favorite songs/videos.... I havent heard of it in a while, and I would like to thank our homeless buddy from bleeker for reminding me.

President Obama?

Photo Credit: Danny Kupperman


I really dont know where to start off with this picture. First of all, for all we know it may be our wonderful president Obama hiding inside. Not a piece of skin is showing! I think I see boobs so maybe it is a woman? Although I have been to New Breed Fight Show recently and one fighter had bigger boobs then some of the girls ive been with.
Danny is a brave man, if I saw this person I would get off the train since I would expect the train to blow up any moment. I also like the milk, adds a nice touch.

ArtisticBoredom X IsItBangus

First Timers Harness with Purple Peg Intimacy AidOk so, I hate always doing the same shit over and over. I hate eating the same stuff over and over, and seeing the same stuff over and over, (which is why I recently bought this (pictured right). Anyway, I am getting off tracked. I like that ArtisticBoredom started with a very specific idea, but that through its short life has expanded into many areas already.

One thing that myself as well as many contributors (hey, I wont lie, I harass and stalk many of my buddies to find me pictures and stuff to send..) like to party. So, ArtisticBoredom has teamed up with quite possibly the greatest party website in existance (I am not cocky I am confident, when you tell me I am the best its a compliment....corny rap song quotes for the win!)

http://www.isitbangus.com/

You can go there, check out what parties are bangus, see whos where and etc. and go and cause mayhem.

We also got some HUGE plans under way, so stay tuned for updates. And since I will be doing a lot more partying, I will be taking pictures of interesting graffiti, signs, and people at these parties. For example, a place in LES of Manhattan called Mehanata has a sign that says "Get naked, free drink, Get fucked, Free bottle." Shit like that, you can send me stuff also.

Also, what other website will do THIS for the one and only, Homeless Collection???

Homeless Collection - Just the two of us/Love is in the air.

Ok so, today was the 5th month anniversary of me and my girlfriend. It is by far the longest relationship I ever had, in fact I would even say we are in love. For the first 4 months, I would buy flowers, cakes, and some other private gifts that if I reveal on this forum she would have a heart attack. Since I kindof like her, I wont mention them so she stays alive.
Anyway, she said for the 5th month, she will finally plan something. So she decided to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for me in my house. She made pasta with cheese, chicken parmigian, these little spinach and cheese bread things, rice with vegetables and steak. The food was BANGUS!
We are two lovebirds, we were so tired after eating all day that we fell asleep on the train, but luckily theres a picture of us:

Homeless collection, the designer bum.

Ok so, I actually LOVE dry/selvedge denim. Its jeans that you wear and your not supposed to wash, and the way you wear them is the way they turn out -- with rips, stains, fades, etc. I got 2 pairs of nudies, and I been working on one for 2+ years and another like 7-8 months. Yes they smell sometimes, but you must not wash em! http://www.nudiejeans.com/ , but you can get them cheaper here -

Ok, I lied, you cant get them cheaper...these jeans are mad fucking expensive! But this next bum puts all denimheads to fucking shame. This is how you wear jeans motherfucker, 20 years in the works!
Photo courtesy of Jose Castro

As you can see, we got some of the illest fades, the knees are ripped due to unknown activities, and they have been patched up countless times. I know im funny and I joke a lot, but I really do wish my jeans come out this sick one day, ask anyone who knows me! Sadly I am not even joking about this right now! haha

The Homeless Collection

Ok, one new project ArtisticBoredom is going to go through is an interesting one. Some of the most interesting people in the world are homeless people, they are also some of the most artistic. Not that they do art, but the way they dress, live, act, look, can be called an art. In fact, rumors on the street is that Lady Gaga's outfits were inspired by the homeless!

Please send in your funny, interesting, artistic or just plain random pictures of homeless. Also, even if someone is not homeless but looks funny as hell, send pics of them too, but they will be part of the Regyoular Collection (more on that later.)

ArtisticBoredom does not intend to offend, humiliate, mock the homeless, we believe that they are people just like you and me and deserve respect, we just cant help it if sometimes they look and act funny -- thus we want to share them with the world.

With a novel in hand and drinks by his side, with decomposed bodies in his bag and a pillow just because, this traveler is the start of our collection.

We are not dead! Throw up artwork, grills, hotdogs, we are back baby!

Ok guys, ArtisticBoredom started out strong, if this was a hot dog eating tournament we woudve ate 30 hotdogs in the first 5 minutes, then the next 5 minutes barely able to finish 5. Hotdogs are the shit, I hope everyone enjoyed their fourth of july and had hotdogs, steaks, chickens, roadkill, whatever.... just hope it was good.

Why have I not updated lately? I dont know! I have no good reason, its really not like I got anything to do! Although for fathers day, me and my mom got our pops a Weber grill, and Ive been BBQING like a motherfucker. I gained weight, but whatever, my girl claims fat people are better to cuddle with....















Now back at it, lets do this baby!


Some points-
-Ok so its the summer, there is no school during the summer (if your taking summer classes, I am sorry, what is wrong with you?). The summer is for fun, going to the beach, disco dancing (borat style), eating, etc. NOT SCHOOL.
-This brings us to the problem that I am not recieving/uploading much school art, so ArtisticBoredom is expanding! We are now going to host the following, any artwork, as long as you did not have to do it for work, as long as you did it for fun and when you had nothing else to do (i.e your date flaked on you), funny graffiti, weird school art and anything else you guys can think of.
-This was something I did in a 3D art class, we had to make like a 3d structure out of cardboard, based on a geographic map, so I decided to make something crazy that resembles another planet. Did I succeed? Whatever....

Anime, Japanese, Gays

Some Points-
-This looks like some dope anime, I LOVE Japanese culture actually, they are so bizarre and weird that it is amazing. I love judo, love sushi, love the women and the technology but there are also some things I HATE!
  • Why do Japanese pornos censor the private parts??!!?!
  • Why cant I be a sumo wrestler toooooooooooo! (Ok thats not their fault...thats bad genetics...fuck being skinny!)
  • Why is it when I google funny anime, I find this weird japanese gay humor??? Look below.


Here is a link to the website I found this on, I dont know what it says although im not so sure I actually want to know, I like to sleep at night:

Irony and the Dislocated Arms

Yesterday, I posted a video of Coleman, and today I was rewatching some of his fights. I came across him and Shogun, where Shogun fell and dislocated his arm... ironically just Monday I dislocated my elbow... so I am typing with one hand (btw thank god my rightarms good...if you know what I mean.)


Thats the arm break.

When I got to the hospital, the doctors were funny. The female asian kept asking ig I wason drugs, and I said no, and she gave me a funny look and goes you sure??? I then asked the main doc to videotape the procedure and he said it was against medical ethics... I started telling him how we can make money off the video but then he had enough and put me to sleep.

Heres pic of me and my dislocated elbow.

The Juicehead Wrestler/Mark Coleman


Some Points-
- This was done on my last day in school in Russian class. Truth is, I only came to class to find out when the final was. But the teacher I think had a crush on me, and I figured it would be too impolite to walk out after 5 mins out of fear of getting a lower grade.
- I dont know why I drew this, but Mark Coleman definetely came to mind as inspiration.
-This video is after Fedor Emelianenko (right) raped Coleman (left), and post-fight Coleman brings his crying daughters out and punches Fedor jokingly...what a clown.

Business Law Class Cauliflower Ear

Some Points -
- In wrestling sports, and rugby, athletes get cauliflower ear. My friend Fabio Lima showed me how to drain it, and I actually drain my own and several other peoples when they get it. It is gross at first, but doctors dont know shit. They do too much fancy shit, fuck that.
-This was from business law class, I drew A LOT in that class, the teacher emailed us that final grades are in and i am afraid to go look!
-Some people say cauliflower is the blackbelt of wrestling, others say it gets them laid.... I think it looks a little bit like a tumor growing out of your ear

ALOHA! Physiology....what? who cares, but theres burritos!

Some points-
- Aloha, brah. This is some surfing artwork from my hawaiian brother, David Lui. Also known as, hawaii number 1. Him and his friend came to train at shaolins, and our teacher loro (who in case you were following, won his last fight by technical knockout in a minute and a half) could not remember his name, so he called him hawaii number 1 and his friend hawaii number 2. Later, out of nowhere, like 10 more hawaiins came to train, and each one had a number, but I lost track after number 4.

-This was from physiology class. To be honest, I had a REALLY long day, so I wont even google that shit to tell you what it is...but I will tell you that surfing is much cooler, and much more important. While you surf, you can get a tan, which means that all you need to do is some gym time in, and then some laundry, and then your good baby. GTL FOR LIFE, NOT FORGOTTEN!

Whenever I have wack food in my house, and i am too broke to buy anything, and want to get really hungry so I can eat it, I ALWAYS watch this video. It is hawaii's own, BJ Penn eating. BJ Penn also said this genius quote - "Burritos are my life".

Homeless Person Graffiti on Table/Ninjas

Some points -
- This person has a fascination with homeless people, he wrote hobo a lot of times, and it looks like even wrote his own poem. This table is from the business classes/accounting classes section of brooklyn college. I am starting to think he should have become a poet, its marvelous.
-There is a ninja on the bottom left corner, need i say more?

Now here is a picture of one of my favorite homeless people, there are others who are closer to my heart...but this guy is definetely top 5.

Emotion graffiti 2.0

Some Points-
- It says "Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you when it is easy to find someone who looks down on you" - Three Days Grace
- I hope a girl wrote this, its a pretty fruity for a guy to write something like that (nothing against you fruits out there)
- Why in the world dont I see no tupac quotes on my tables in class? I should start posting some of them myself! I would probobly write something like "All respect to those who break they neck to keep they hoes in check". NOW THATS A QUOTE!
-I never listened to 3 days grace, i googled how they look and I have no words. Looks like the twilight movie characters or something, with horrible fashion sense.

Alex Wildstyle and Mad Cow


Some points-

- I really dont remember what class this was from, I did not take any notes it looks like. Well my name is on it, so I must have wanted to take notes, just never got around to it.

- The wildstyle says Alex, and I drew a mad cow. I used to draw mad cows because of mad cow disease, it was a joke from when I was a teenager ( im turning 21 soon, i feel old).

- Heres a mad cow, I dont know who did it *looks around*

Bored in Economics class/ Greece/ Good luck to Loro and Shaolin!

Some Points-

-A lot of my work, which will still be uploaded in the near future, is influenced by something I do a lot- Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A lot of my ideas for doodles come from it.

I train at Vitor Shaolin's school in Midtown NYC, and two of my coaches, Vitor Shaolin and Marcos Loro are fighting on the same day in Professional MMA. Shaolin for Strikeforce in St.Louis, and Loro for Washington Combat in Washington DC.
Shaolins: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=11485&zoneid=13
and his website is: http://bjjnewyorkcity.com/
Loros: http://www.washingtoncombat.com/
and his website is: http://www.marcoslorobjj.com/

I want to wish my coaches/friends the best of luck tommorow, as is clear on the notes from my macroeconomics class.

-My teacher said the funniest thing, so I wrote it down so I could tease a few people about it later - "Greece is what a lot of countries wish to be. A good liar that can get away with it.", but he said it with pure anger, and he is also like 90 years old, so it was hysterical. He also said the Euro will fall because of Greece, and some other stuff that I did not pay attention to.

The best drum solo ever, from a DJ

Ok, so although this has nothing to do with art (although the drum solo I would consider a work of art), this video was SO AMAZING, that I just had to share it with you guys.

This blog is 99% for artistic boredom, but 1% of things I CAN NOT resist, I will post.

This man is amazing, the best dj I ever heard, and I go clubbing a lot so obviously I hear a lot of djs! He WILL be present at my wedding (and shall I add I am jewish, so it will be a jewish wedding?!!?)

Business Law Class Table Graffiti pt. 2


Some points-

-This is part 2 of the same table, it looks like the same person wrote this, as the handwriting is similar.

-This says " I use to be love drunk, but now I'm Hungover. Love you forever, forever is over. We used to kiss all night, now its just a bar fight. Dont call me crying..." The rest is unreadable.

-I googled this quote, and I found out it is a song from "Boys Like Girls- Love Drunk".

-Not only is this character emo and crying about not getting a date, he listens to horrible music. Maybe if he listened to some good music, hed be getting broads.

This is the video from the song he quoted from:



This is what he needs to be listening to/watching to be gettin at them ladies:

Business Law Class Graffiti Table Part 1


Some Points-

-My business law class has tables full of graffiti, a lot of interesting ones, I took like 6 pictures today. None of this is my work.

-This says " I dont know who you are, but if you are reading this, I recently lost my dad... and the girl that I believe can help me heal wont go out with me. What do I do? Imagine your in my shoes"

Well my response to this poor fella would be as follows - "Sorry buddy for the loss of your dad, that is horrible, but the only person that will help you heal is yourself. If you think some ass will make you forget your dad, you might be right, but it will only be temporary. Instead of being emo all over brooklyn college tables, grab your balls and man up! Crying and asking for sympathy is NEVER the answer."

What is your answer to this fella?

This is what my boy Chris Brown said this guy should do, and no not THAT Chris Brown, my boy who trains BJJ with me. Watch this clip, its only 30 seconds.

Med School, Medical Ethics Class Doodles



This is the first art that was submitted to me by a friend.

Some points -

-This was done in med school, I am surprised more art is not submitted from med students, because I am sure the shit they are learning is BEYOND boring. However, they would probobly flunk if they did not pay attention the whole time, so I understand..... Med students, you are forgiven!

-Motinho, who submitted this, said that "I actually draw that stuff by accident like i start making shapes and see what it turns into".

-Besides being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu affectionado, motinho looks like a prospect in the field of interior design, drawing lamps, lightbulbs and garbage cans on his break.

Thanks for this submission my friend, and I would LOVE to recieve and upload anyone elses, please email it!

Happy Mothers Day!

Without our moms, who would send us to school and make sure we attend the classes??? Thats right!

So part of this blogs success is thanks to my mother, and with that, here is a very cute quote I found --

Ugly John Lennon Lookalike from Music Class










Some Points:

-Me and some kids from class called this kid John Lennon, although he was a much uglier version.

-He would always come like 20 minutes before the class ended (it was a 3 hour class) and then raise his hand and try to show off to the teacher his "advanced music knowledge" and just trying to look and sound cool.

-I wrote "Bitch keeps moving", and then erased it. That note was directed to my friend sitting next to me who was watching me draw this kid, and I wanted to tell him I was frustrated because he could not sit still!

Girl Bored In Class

Post Number 4-

Some Points-

-In Music Core class last semester, we sat in a circle one day and the girl on the other side of the room from me, who resembled lady gaga, was falling in and out of sleep. It looked really funny so I drew her.

-She caught me looking at her many times and kept looking down, she probobly thought I was a creep.

-There was no bird on her shoulder, I drew that on just for fun.

-I drew another guy in the class who resembled an uglier john lennon, and I will post it tommorow.

The Diet Pepsi, (Spaceship?)


Post Number 3- The Diet Pepsi, (Spaceship?)
Some Points:
-Diet Pepsi, because it would just be insulting to draw a regular coke in my phys ed. gym class.

-While I was drawing this, I missed a few points, but i made the paper seem more complete with some question marks.

-I aced this class, got a B+

-I really do drink diet coke

Ed Hardy is WACK! Best thing to owning a house is PETS!!!

Post Number 2- Ed Hardy is WACK! Best thing to owning a house is PETS!!!

-This was from a Real Estate class, in 2009.

-The Design I made up based on an Ed Hardy tshirt I saw in class. It was meant to make fun of it, since I think Ed Hardy tshirts look like shit.

-There is a dog in the bottom, because during the notes I wrote down that pets are a non-financial advantage of owning a house. ARF ARF.

Macroeconomics Doodles (MD) The doctor of this website, the one that helped give birth.



Post Number 1- Macroeconomics Doodles (MD) The doctor of this website, the one that helped give birth.


Some Points:
-The Class is Macroeconomics. I had a test coming up, which i wrote down the chapters to study for.

-The wildstyle says QWYK, an old friend of mine who is now doing god knows what.

-Bottom is where my idea came. I thought, WOW, this took me a long time to do and it came out looking crazy! I think other people would like it. That is where my Blog idea started from.
