Robot Intercourse

This would have been a good post for Valentine's Day.
But I didn't draw it until tonight while waiting for dinner.

Figure Book

2012-02-07T16:17:00.000-08:00

I participated in my first figure drawing session for the first time in at least a year. Just for the occasion,
I started a new, messier sketchbook with larger pages for figure drawing only. Looking good.

Here is another offering from the Kindergarten 1981 bag.

Christmas In February

2012-02-02T18:18:00.000-08:00

This isn't technically from a sketchbook but it is a sketch. I drew it today on the back
of a grocery list. It's an idea for a current project tentatively called "Christmas Comics."

Small Town Corner

2012-01-27T12:43:00.000-08:00

Corner of Front and Park in down town Traverse City MI. I seem
to draw this corner at least once in each of my sketch books.

People Eating Breakfast

2012-01-26T16:41:00.000-08:00

Another selection from the 2005 book. I believe
these drawings are from San Francisco.

Face gob

"Stuff" from the old 2005 book.

Vortex of Materialism

2012-01-21T12:34:00.000-08:00

Vortex of Materialism (plus a cloud of
cartoon people) from a 2005 sketchbook

I Said No Onions

2012-01-19T08:58:00.000-08:00

Drawing from last year that eventually turned into the character
George Bean from my George Wrote A Letter comic book.

Old Projector

2012-01-15T15:15:00.000-08:00

2012-01-13T15:19:00.000-08:00

This is one of the first drawings I did for Inversion Kit, a large tar and oil
painting I completed this summer and showed at Art Prize in Grand Rapids Michigan.

Gas cans and stuff

2012-01-12T19:27:00.000-08:00

Another drawing of a pile of gas cans, Fall 2011. I've been repeating this theme a lot over the course of the passed year. Whenever I'm not sure what to draw I just default to this.

First Entry

My first post is one from the vault. Actually it's from way at the back of the vault. My mom saved just about everything I ever made during my childhood including this recently rediscovered gem. It was found along with a staggering volume of similar drawings in an old paper sack with "Kindergarten 1981" written on it's musty brown skin. Although other drawings in the sack feature compelling titles like For Mom and Turkey Indian, this piece is untitled. It appears to be a Pac Man inspired maze-like map. I distinctly remember being obsessed with Pac Man, mazes and maps and there are several similar drawings in the 1981 sack to prove it. I plan to feature more of these vintage treasures on Sketchbookworm!
