Sketchbook Parts 3, 4, 5, 6
Hey everybody, I was real lazy this weekend. I still kept up with my drawing, I just thought I'd hold off on scanning and do it all at once. Still, this Baby Grind stuff has kept me drawing 6 days in a row, so that's definitely something.

September 21
:



My obsession with Nancy and Sluggo continues. Also I try out the Goose Island logo, a lobster, and my first attempts at sword and sorcery style drawings since ... high school? I cut off the part at the top where I was writing down some euchre notes to myself.

September 22:



Drawn while Sara and I watched a Dr. Phil episode about people's shitty neighbors. I had a jot list for the most white trash-y things I heard spoken aloud. If only someone was waiting on their settlement check, it would have been damn near perfect.

September 23




That's Sara in her pajamas reading the Internet and standing. That's not Gandalf in the bottom corner -- it's your old pal Walt Whitman. Anyway, watch me experiment with gray brushpens a little.

September 24




This is the first time I've drawn with a straight up old-school pencil in a while. Mostly I use the non-photo-reproducible blue pencils you have to buy special and that have a pretty soft point. Anyway, this actually looks like some for-real sketches. More Nancy and Sluggo, some Ming the Merciless, some John Campbell and some men's adventure magazine cover.

Sara bought me the big Taschen collection a few years ago. I always meant to draw more from it when I had the time.

For some reason I love that picture of me reading the internet. I think you really captured the dining room chair and bedroom door! And my pensive expression. Another thing I love is that one of those featureless pieces of paper you show taped to the wall is the Hey Pais comic you made for my birthday last year.

It's making me happy to see you drawing again.

It bothers me that I got a few details off in my rush to make a gesture drawing, but I'm glad you like it! It's hard to believe that Hey Pais comic is almost one year old already.

Drawing is okay. I'm getting back into the swerve.

well maybe we should wrangle up a bunch of local cartoonists for some sort of drink and draw gathering, they seem to do those everywhere but here. Thus in a large group (and with the introduction of alcohol) no-one will feel self-comcious about their precieved Talents (or lack thereof). Cause I don't really draw better than anyone else.
