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 [...]

Robots with under-bites.

I’ve been on a robot sketching kick lately.  And, for some reason, I like to draw robots with massive metal under-bites.  It’s either the Iron Giant influencing me, or some sort of nostalgic link to my pet dog as a teenager.  Puppy (yes, that was her proper name) was half Shi-Tsu and half under-bite.  And [...]

Work sketches

It’s been far too long since I posted anything from the sketchbook.  Here’s a few from work that shall remain nameless.  These are fun to do and well-intentioned (I promise!).  I hope to do a caricature of people I work with so I never have to dash out for a going away gift.  This is [...]

Blackwing 602

The most expensive writing utensil I’ve ever purchase was a Japanese import, the Sailor Brush-pen which, to my great sadness, didn’t come with a big-eyed cartoony Sailor Moon printed on the side. Think of it as a cross between a fountain pen and a traditional paintbrush. I got it on a whim, splurging [...]

Some old, some new.

I found a few more sketches in some old Moleskines that I never posted. I started scanning them in larger so you can see more detail when you click on the thumbnail. Some are downright huge.

I’m not sure who this is but, judging by his wardrobe I saw him in Reno.
Old guy at [...]

Daily sketch

More faces from work and church. The lady in the middle was in the ward choir and had her whole heart into the song. To the right of her is a very sweet lady that sings every chance that she gets. Her face is so animated that I have to look away [...]

Few more sketches

Just a few more posts and I will have most of the images transferred. This is a sketch (wax pencil) of Lincoln running around the yard. He is being an airplane and saying ‘fly air!’

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 [...]

Work Sketches

Every day I have two meetings that can often stretch an hour in length. I am needed for all of about 10 minutes so, naturally, I draw a lot. Here’s one of my old boss, and hero, Rick Green.
The boss of my old boss, Steve Silberman.

Sketches- the reason for blogging

The idea for this blog is for me to have an outlet for my constant sketching. Over time, it became something else entirely. The original site is now out of commission (I got sick of paying for it) and it has taken me a couple of months to get this one going.
So, there [...]
