#68 – South of the Borders
Had just a few minutes to sketch before happy hour.  This is the Borders bookstore in Glendale (shown here at night).

#67 – More stinking badges
Another little bunch of icons I’m creating for work. Â These are connected to Sketch #44 — more spacenerd stuff.

#66 – Shapely friends
It’s been a while since I did any figure drawing, and I really need practice. Â Also, I really needed something quick to sketch tonight after a long day. Â These are just from various photos we have on the wall at home.

#65 – The nightly ritual
Need to start doing this earlier so I’m not so tired. Â This is something I started for a class assignment this week — maybe I can post the finished product if it turns out all right.

#63 – It slices! It dices! Well, it slices anyway.
Finished a long day of work without much energy left for drawing, so I just grabbed a bread knife for a simple sketch. Â I definitely overdid it on the serrations though; this thing looks like it could cut bone.

#61 – Helter Sketcher
This was a fun set, if a little messy.  I did all of these as one-inch squares, which — surprise, surprise — turns out to be kind of limiting. It’s a bit tricky fitting 70 or so people onto a one-inch Sgt. Pepper’s cover.
I also used a prisma pencil, which means I couldn’t erase anything. Â So of course there are several things I wish I could change. Â But hey, it’s only sketching.

#60 – We Bring Odd Things to Life.
A great thrift store find from several years back. This fan-driven wonder emits an unholy honk with every key (after a split-second delay, of course). Or if you listen to the manufacturers:
“Everyone wants a turn when you have a GE Electric Chord Organ in the house! Color-coded music book comes with it. It’ll have you playing chords and melodies in no time at all! Pleasant start to a musical education…for everyone!”
