My mom had a subscription to The New Yorker when I was a kid. I borrowed them because I liked the cartoons. At least, I liked the ones I understood. Roz Chast was my favorite because her cartoons were the most frequently gettable. A lot of the others were over my ten-year-old head. I later [...]

Chickens! A chickeny duck and some ducky ducks: A penguin who looks like a thermos and a parrot who looks like I don’t know how to draw parrots: When I try to draw parrots, they turn out like doofy birds of prey. An eagle who is obviously posing (I like his head but his body [...]

Everyone, meet Blat Tuba. Blat, everyone. Blat is very good at lots of things. Like walking. Nice work, Blat. Now how about a little music for us? I’m proud of you, son.

Okay what is that line that shows up at the bottom of all my scans. It’s not the edge of the paper, because that’s cropped out. I never see it until I post and it drives me slightly mad. Observations: oh crap how did it get to be another Friday without me posting anything; I’m [...]

Look at that, the scanner’s back up! And the last Skerple is dying. I let my Sketchbook Project sketchbook sit untouched for about a month because I was really intimidated by having it look perfect. That’s kind of crazy, because it’s a sketchbook. So I’m just penciling stuff in and after that’s done I’ll go [...]

I find Christina Aguilera interesting. I know “interesting” is a backhanded compliment, meaning something like “I can’t think of anything I actually like about you” or “I view your work with the same fascination that I view my ingrown toenails and zombie ant fungus.” Actually, I wouldn’t say Christina Aguilera is much like zombie ant [...]

My job has kept me really busy, and I still haven’t hooked up the scanner, so I wasn’t even going to draw anything this morning. But I might as well keep up the habit. So I guess there’s a new Harry Potter movie out.

I did today’s Skerple Friday on the tablet instead, and I might do that from here on out. My Skerples are mostly dead, and I don’t have to futz around with the scanner. I run at the gym a couple days after work, and the TV is always on either ESPN or the news. I [...]

I have my Sketchbook Project sketchbook, and so far it is blank. I’ve got performance anxiety. The examples of past sketchbooks that I’ve seen are pretty good. Better than my finished stuff. My usual sketchbook contents aren’t so intricate, mostly scribbles and half-finished cartoon people and incomprehensible notes I took while I was on the [...]

Some days you wake up thinking about saxophones for whatever reason. And then you decide it’d be a good exercise to try and draw a few, with a couple clarinets thrown in for good measure. I have never played the saxophone, so attempting to draw one from memory is a fool’s errand. I did, however, [...]
