O' Captain, My Captain

While researching online for a reference photo of a pipe I stumbled upon this little gem and saved it to draw later. I don't know who this guy is, or how is beard got so bushy, or why he's comically shifty eyed, but dear god I'm thankful for all those things. When I'm old I'm going to dress like a Sea Captain all the time.

No matter how hard I try to leave something as a simple line drawing, I just can't resist the urge to color and shade it. Here's yesterday's drawing fleshed out.

Pink

If this guy can't get joy out of having giant muttonchops and butterflies all around him, then there may not be hope for any of us.

Purple

Purple mustache sneak a sketch. Man, I'm running out of material.

Red

He's not a pirate, but that is one red beard.

Postal fiasco

Here's a little drawing I sent to two expecting friends of mine in San Diego, but it never arrived. I'm guessing the Postal Service destroys all stork related mail because they don't want to propagate the idea that anyone else does home deliveries besides them.

Good thing I got a scan of it before I sent it off. You've won this time, post office .... for now.
