Many more sketches

I have been on a sketching kick lately.  I have one of those personalities that obsesses about new things all the time.  For a few months, it will be banjos or ukuleles or banjo-ukuleles.  The past few months, it’s been watercolors and sketching. Here’s a whole bunch of recent pages I haven’t had a [...]

Church sketches

For those of you who have wondered what on earth those Mormon’s do in church for three hours every Sunday, I have an answer.

Dusting off the sketchbook

Another sketch done during a meeting while I still worked at The Desert Sun. No, they didn’t fire me for drawing my coworkers.
The one of Matt Solinsky, Sports Editor in Palm Springs, was one of my favorites for a long time. I don’t think a successful sketch is one that looks exactly like [...]

Church Sketches

I have a nasty habit of sketching people while I’m at church. I know of no other time when you get so much time to digest peoples faces and explore how to draw them. My wife’s greatest fear is that someone will discover my notebook and see how I’ve skewered all the elderly [...]
