Christmas Gift

Last night I drew a picture of my dad as a gift for Christmas. I don't normally like to do that because I feel like a cheapskate. For me, drawing is just something I do (sometimes not very well either).

It's natural.

Like pooping.

Who wants poop for Christmas?

My wife (bless her heart) tells me to quit being stupid (not really) and that people like that kind of thing. That it's really personal. I suppose. I love a gift of original art and have some really sweet pieces in my collection but that's different. It's somebody else's, I guess.
OK, this is really what my dad looks like. BIG handlebar mustache. Short. Tough. Hunting bear is about his favorite thing. Wasn't thrilled with the colors. All I had was colored pencil and Sharpie (of course). Let me know what you think.

TGIF!

Thank God it's Friday! This has been a particularly rough week. Not a lot drawn spent most of the week at my day job. I have plans to get a bunch done this weekend but we'll see. There's woodwork to be done and jobs around the house. But, I'm optimistic.

Here's some more desktop doodles.

The Prez

Here's a few pics from the sketchbook. I'm really bad at characatures but tut thought I'd give the prez a try. Let me know what you think. The other pics are just misc drawings done from reference.

It's Tuesday...

Not too much going on today. Pretty tired tonight might not draw at all. Who knows? Today's pic comes from my sketchbook. It's colored pencil and Sharpie (of course) with a bit of Photoshop blending. Feel free to give comments or crits!

Desktop Doodles

I spend a lot of time at work on the phone with nothing but a ballpoint, Sharpie and some highlighters. This is what happens.

I usually end up filling most of my desk calendar with this stuff. It's always nice to start a new month and have 30 or so little squares to fill!

First Post! I'm a blogging now, baby!

Well, here goes nothing. I figure this will give me someplace to dump all the stuff that seems to fill my sketchbooks. I'll be posting new things as well as some of my older artwork that's lurking here and there. Maybe even bits and pieces of the projects that I'm currently working on. Today's post is just some doodles from the past week. Feel free to comment or crit. Enjoy!
