Spent this evening eating chili and kicking out the jams. Â Before I knew it, it was late and I only had time for this 60-second sketch of some of my musical cohorts on invisible barstools.

This Art Center model obviously just woke up aboard the Nebuchadnezzar.

Lacking other inspiration, I once again grabbed a magazine to find something to sketch. Â This is from a Chevron ad in the latest Wired. Â Still not sure how it’s intended to get me to buy more expensive gasoline…

You used to be cool, Clock. Â You used to, you know, work. Â But now, it’s like you’re stuck in the past, man. Â Like it’s 3:23 p.m. all over again.
What’s that you say? Â Dead battery? Â Lame, bro. Â The clock I remember wouldn’t let a little thing like “a lack of any kind of functional power source” get in the way of our relationship.
Oh, who am I kidding? Â I can’t stay mad at you, lil’ buddy! Â New battery comin’ right up!

A red head drawing of a redhead model. Â Seemed a good fit. Â This is another quick sketch done at an Art Center workshop.

Went down south to spend some three-day-weekend time with extended family — and (by further extension) their two labradors, Starsky & Hutch. Â This is the first time I’ve ever sat and drawn any animals from observation.
I figured sleeping dogs would stay still long enough to draw, but that wasn’t really the case (hence the various different angles). Â Actually, come to think of it, most models you’d have to pay to have them generate this many poses for you…

Another sketch based on a magazine photo. Â This was in honor of last night’s stand-up comedy challenge, an annual event put on by a friend of mine. Â Stand-up is a truly bizarre medium — and I have to respect those who are able to do it well.

Another charcoal sketch from one of Art Center’s figure drawing workshops. Â I just like how this pose looks like the guy is crying into his pillow. Â Hey buddy — next time try wearing pants.

I don’t use pen enough — so I figured I’d do a quick pen drawing. This is really loose and sketchy — in fact, I need to hold back from trying to refine pen lines so much. Anyway, this is based on an old photo of my wife’s grandmother stepping out with friends some time in the 40s.

From the 1908 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog — a fascinating book, an old reprint of which we found at a weird little bookstore a couple years ago.
Illustrated here are just four of literally tens of thousands of items shown inside. Â The full catalog features countless more things you can hurt yourself with.
