Explodingdog, as it is now, began as a joke. Originally at the Explodingdog.com domain I was working on an overly ambitious art site, inspired by sites like Superbad. After a few months, I realized it would take years of work to even come close to completed, so I decided to scrap the site.

 

At the same time I had been doing events where I would draw pictures live from audience-submitted titles. I thought it would be fun to combine the two ideas, so I started asking friends for titles, and then created the first few days of drawings.

 

I put them on the site with a request to email me with more titles. Then it took off, and I have not stopped since.
