WIP: 10 Things, 1-7
I finally started working on the 10 Things project again. I don't recall the actual page number, as I'm not really keeping track at this point, but it's the page with 1 hen, 2 ducks, 3 squawking geese, 4 limerick oysters, 5 corpulent porpoises, 6 pairs of Don Alverso's tweezers, and 7 THOUSAND Macedonians dressed
Captain Vampire Potato
After a weekend of Boy Scout and Cub Scout camping with my boys, I took them and another scout out for lunch at a local diner. We were given crayons while we waited, and since they all started drawing on their place mats, I took out my pen and asked them to give me a
PMD Cello Flute 2
I said I'd probably go back and do a more polished drawing of Plunger Monkey playing the cello with a flute, and I finally did. It's digital, with about 20 hours of work on it, compared to the 30-40 minutes of the original sketch. Just like the rest of my art, I see things I
Pumpelly Trail Sketch
Just after the kids went back to school, my wife used up her remaining day off and we went for a hike on one of our favorite trails. Just the two of us. Something we haven't done since before we had kids. It was a great day. We paused long enough at the summit for
Potted Sticks Sketch at Brigg’s Beach
Not to digress and gush too much, but this sketch was done at one of my absolute favorite places: Brigg's Beach. I essentially grew up there between Memorial Day and Columbus Day every year (as did my dad) up until I moved out of the house. The place has great significance and great memories for
I Hate the Way I Draw Heads Part 2…
I have recently complained that I don't like the way I draw heads, which is sort of a problem considering I have all these graphic novel ideas waiting to be written and drawn. The only way to resolve that issue is to, well, practice drawing heads until I don't hate the way I do it

PMD Cello Flute
When my cousin, a talented professional cellist, and his wife, a talented professional flutist, came up for a visit and asked if I would do a quick drawing for their kids, this is what happened. I'm not thrilled with my execution, as I was a bit rushed because it was getting late and they needed
Camp Sketch 13
I recently took my youngest two sons to Cub Scout camp for the week. While there, I was able to bust out my moleskin and a ballpoint pen and do some nature drawing. This was my last camp sketch, done on the last evening as the light was quickly fading. Most of the rest of
Camp Sketch 12
I recently took my youngest two sons to Cub Scout camp for the week. While there, I was able to bust out my moleskin and a ballpoint pen and do some nature drawing. The older of my two sons made a hand dipped candle at one of the activities, which turned into a great subject
Camp Sketch 11
I recently took my youngest two sons to Cub Scout camp for the week. While there, I was able to bust out my moleskin and a ballpoint pen and do some nature drawing. While the boys were occupied at the marbles station, I wandered off and found a neat, natural, rock garden with a bunch
Camp sketch 10
I recently took my youngest two sons to Cub Scout camp for the week. While there, I was able to bust out my moleskin and a ballpoint pen and do some nature drawing. This big, beautiful boulder was sitting near the trail at the S.T.E.M area. The proportions are a little screwed up from what's
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
