this was so ridiculous, i had to capture it on film

lost on the way to Ikea

ended up here:

looks like someone lost their lunch at Hoyt-Schermerhorn

literally!

random scraps of paper

i drew this picture before going to Buenos Aires a few years ago. i think i was scheming up a way to be bumped to executive class while leaving jro and mklee behind in coach.





i'm guessing this cute, little fella was drawn at a restaurant. this was probably during my "cyclops research phase", where i was looking at pics like this on the web any chance i got.

Flashback! Westminster 2006

Those who know me well know that I can't pass up getting some sweet love from the creatures.
If there's a dog or cat (or ferret, bird, rat...) on the street, I can not resist the impulse to say 'hi' and pat them on their sexy rumps.
How do other folks resist these impulses?
Anyway, before I had cable, I would get all jazzed when Westminster came to town.
I'd even buy tickets just so I could go backstage and molest all those fancy dogs.
Now that I have cable, dog shows have lost their sparkle 'cause they're on all the freakin' time.
Long story short, I found these sketches in an old book that I made while watching the show.
I guess I was less jaded two years ago than I am now.





(as an aside, as much as i love learning about animal breeds, i'm all for adopting, especially giving homes to the oldies and the sickies.)

meeting boredom

like most sane people, i hate meetings.
if they get really boring, i pick up the nearest pen and start doodling.
i guess i was real hungry while i drew these.
it took all my willpower not to run out and get take-out from my local sushi joint.
wondering what i ate instead?
a dry chunk of rotisserie chicken and some 3 day-old ziti.
sigh.

evening commute

on the 3 train downtown

i'm pretty into this sexy little piggie i keep drawing. maybe i'll start working on a painting of one.

back to work

going to work:

and heading on home(on a blissfully empty C train):


(happy bday crazy linda!)

been sick for the past week. the kind of sick where you sleep for days, wake up thinking you must be better 'cause you got all that rest doctors are always telling you about, only to conclude that you're STILL sick.
jro bought me a wee watercolor set to play with, in an attempt to cheer me up.
now, i haven't painted in YEARS. i'm 100% digital and proud of it!
but since i've been trying to get back in touch with my sketchbook, i was touched by this incredibly thoughtful gift.
so i blew my nose, rubbed the goo from my eyes and started painting.
