Sketchblog

Tourists

Here’s a sneak-peak at an illustration that we will be running this weekend on tourists in Reno. The idea was to have a picture of the average tourist, and this is what we came up with.

As I said before, I love drawing old people and assume you like to look at drawings of them so, [...]
