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.

Blog Promo drawing #2: Danno

Well this kind of came out a lot scarier than I had planned, but overall I'm pleased with it. I decided not to do a preliminary sketch for this one and just go with whatever lines the pen made on the paper. I think my favorite thing about it is it doesn't look like the things I normally draw. I once met an excellent chef who told me that he hated eating his own food. It's kind of like that for artists, too.

Yellow

Nobody calls him yellow. NOBODY.

Let me know what you think about the new look of the blog. For those of us who fear change I tried to keep it as close to the old design as possible, while making it more streamlined and professional looking. Your comments are welcome!

Part of a complete breakf-AAAAAAHHHHHH!

I hope this guy doesn't try and talk, because I don't think anyone would understand him.

My roommate and I bought the same cereal the other week, so we had to distinguish the boxes from one another. Otherwise we might eat the wrong cereal!

Mr. Green

I thought I should probably start making good on my promotional promise. Here's a portrait of the first person to take me up on it: Connor.

Last One.

This woman was going crazy at Karaoke with the dancing. At one point it even looked like she was doing the Pee Wee Herman dance. Oh, and she was wearing a Harley Davidson shirt. These people make Karaoke worth it.

More than a feeling

This was a blind contour that I embellished a little.

I haven't gone to figure drawing lately but I keep meaning to. I found out recently that the Wednesday sessions at PNCA are going to continue through July so at least I'll have plenty of opportunities.

Btw my promotion is still on, people. Spread the word.

Welcome to the Jungle

Another one from Karaoke night.

Plus, don't forget about my promotional offer from yesterday!

How can be?

If you're going to Karaoke on a Saturday night it's always a good idea to bring some sketching paper with you to amuse yourself while waiting for your turn to sing. Thanks Ben for the sheet of paper!

I'd also like to introduce a brand spanking new "Sketch a Day" internet promotion. If you sign up to follow this blog I will personally draw a portrait of you and send you a scan of the drawing. If you decide you want to enjoy it in your home you can then purchase it for a measly $15. All you have to do is click the button in the right-hand column that says "follow" and send the picture of yourself that you want drawn to dailysketch17.blogspot.com. And yes, this offer will apply to all of my current followers too, so feel free to send those pics in!
