…as my 92-year-old grandfather-in-law like to say whenever he’s about to vigorously shake hands with you. Â He, as you might have guessed, is awesome.

Started sketching some ideas for some badge icons for a NASA/JPL website. Â These refer to very specific nerd things, so I won’t be offended if you don’t get them. Â They’ll make marginally more sense when all 66(!) are finished.

Now there’s an idea for a companion sketch.  Find an old bucket of earthworms and  draw “bait.”  In fact, why not a series of painfully literal interpretations of basic phrases?  Oh, right, because that would be lame.

Third day in a row of lacking sketch energy. Â So I reverted to simple letterforms, but decided to do all the remaining letters, so I won’t be tempted to use this lazy idea again. Â As it turned out, this took longer than expected due to having to sort out all the different shading values. Â That’s what I get for trying to take the easy route…

Yesterday’s Z was just a very quick and basic sketch because I was so tired. Â Same thing ended up happening today, so I reverted to something simple.

The letter Z — soon to be appearing in a speech bubble over my head. Â It’s the end of a long travel day at the end of a long week away, and I’m glad to be in my own bed again!

A very long and busy day on this Carlsbad field trip. Thought I would have a second to sketch during a lunch break by a waterfall. So I set about drawing this geologist resting by the falls, and this is as far as it got before I was interrupted two or three minutes later to be on to the next thing. Nice change of scenery from the office though, I’ll admit. Now to much-needed bed.

I wish the sketch were a little better, but it’s been a long day, so I made it quick. Anyway, this is a little tip of the cap to Ben and Sean, whose Photo 365 projects helped inspire my own sketch version. Be sure to check out their great stuff — links over on the right.

Get it? Mystery spot? Like those novelty tourist places where the perspective is all screwed up and things look all out of scale? Boy, I’m hilarious.
Actually it was meant to be this place. Whoops!

Day 1 of the First International Conference on Mars Sedimentology and Stratigraphy in El Paso, TX (yes, it’s all you imagine it could be!). Sketched this during a break in conference activities.
What’s that you say? When am I going to include some exciting foreign locales in the Sketch 365 project? The wait is over, my friend — that’s Juárez in the background.
