This drawing will be the fifteenth in my technically cartooned tools series – which means I am exactly one-half of the way done with my original 30-tool goal. To try and be a little more active reading other people’s blogs I’ve been wandering the blogosphere and I’ve noticed that more and more people I know are working on a daily/weekly/monthly creation project. My wife and several of my Facebook friends are participating in weekly self-portraits on Flickr and Facebook. I’m a proponent of these challenges because they help us be a little more structured with our creative endeavors. Trying to meet a quota can be a strong motivational force, and if you’re lucky enough to have people observing your art it becomes even stronger.

Finally, because I think this is awesome, King Panpan (whom I don’t know) who is compiling a 365 of the most radically Vectored bears you’ve ever seen.

Anyways, fifteen tools in I’m learning I don’t own as many awesome tools as I thought. Therefore you can expect to see more “creative” entries… like this one!

This is obviously a long handled tape pounder. You can use it to affix tape to things with great force. For example:

1. windows
2. moving boxes (with/without vases)
3. thin drywall
4. Saran wrap (…it never sticks by itself…)
5. fruits.

My wife wanted me to dedicate a tool to her and she suggested something “destructive” because that’s how she rolls.
