#226 – A swing of the pendulum

ElephantThis is also a response to my wife’s little drawing challenge over at The Give Way.  The very specific commission: an elephant eating cotton candy.

I also figured that after the past three day’s sketches featuring venomous creatures, tongues of fire, and vein-bulgingly hypermasculine posturing, I figured it was time to swing to the other side and go overboard cutesy.

#224 – Hanging on to summer

BarbecueWe’re getting dangerously close to that little period of the year where Southern California gets a bit of rain and cooler weather.  Better make hay while the sun shines.  Or at least BBQ chicken.

#217 – Culinary curiosity

Roscoe'sA little doodle inspired by today’s visit to the legendary Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles.  A legendarily horrifying/delicious Southern California institution that never disappoints.

StrongmanWent to the gym for about 45 mins today.  So now I pretty much look like this.

And yes, I will be entertaining offers from any reputable sideshow organizers.

#211 – Special Delivery

Earth approach

At work, I’ve returned to the animation project I was working on, and have been sketching a few more storyboard frames.  Here, the orbiter comes back to Earth, to drop off a sample of material collected on Mars.  Of course, the drawing is nothing special, but the accomplishment it represents sure would be something.

#208 – Pageant of the Just-Plain-Mundane

LaundryBoy, if yesterday sketch-from-life wasn’t ho-hum enough, this one sure is.   After two weeks of travel, and one of avoidance, I spent much of my day off tending to five loads of laundry.  Thrilling stuff, eh?

#206 – Built for Speed(o)

Starting blockJust renewed my membership at the Caltech gym, in the hopes of exercising (and especially swimming) more in the year to come.  And of course, thinking about getting back in the pool was reminding me of my high school swim team days.  But not to worry, fellow pool-goers:  I won’t be going back to the miniscule Speedo.

(P.S. No, I didn’t actually do this.  I left the bike and hopped on the bus.)
