'''explodingdog''' was the name of a website run by Sam Brown, pseudonym of Adam Culbert.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/10/technology/online-diary.html |title=New York Times, Online Diary|work=The New York Times |date=April 10, 2003|accessdate=May 23, 2022|last1=O'Connell |first1=Pamela Licalzi }}</ref> From 2000 to 2015, viewers e-mailed Brown short phrases for inspiration and he illustrated certain ones. The drawings were usually rendered digitally and are known for their simplistic style, and their poignant and sometimes unexpected take on the phrases on which they are based. Sam Brown has published limited-run print books of his explodingdog illustrations.
