New Glasses

One thing you gotta know if you're my buddy is that you'll probably be drawn a few times and posted on my blog. Here's my buddy Ben again. He also sometimes draws comics which are pretty funny. You can see them here.

I'm off to San Diego today so tomorrow's post will be all the way from Sunny Southern California. Possibly even posted from a hammock.

Catdad meets Batman

I went to a dance performance last night at Valentine's featuring my friend Robert Tyree in a partially improvised piece interpreting the concept of conversation and applying it to modern dance. I'm wouldn't be able to do justice to the performance by attempting to describe it, so let's just say that it was very good and leave it at that. While waiting for the show and enjoying some happy hour perks I sketched my friend Ben reading a Batman comic.

Speaking of shows, check out The Nimble Owl's post on the newest installation at the Emerson Space Case at the corner of NE 30th and Emerson. The piece is based off a Curious George illustration and was done by Portland artist Luke Forsyth. We all chipped in to put it together and are pretty happy with the results.

#1 Blog Dog

I drew this from a picture of my friend Ben who, despite being blurry in many pictures, is quite photogenic. I wasn't happy with the first one so I drew a second one which I'm actually really happy with. I'm thinking of putting my animal project on hold and doing this on a full size canvas. Too bad my pen has to be running out of ink for me to get that shading effect. He's got his own blog which you should check out if you get a chance. It's mostly youtube videos, food he makes, and pictures of Batman.
