Homework time: a continuation of the Goodfellas storyboard from the other day. Â If you want to follow along:Â kid appears before judge; mob lawyer flashes judge a look; kid walks free; De Niro slips kid some cash for a job well done in not ratting out the others; De Niro and kid exit courtroom into welcoming arms of mob boss Paul Sorvino and his cadre of ne’er-do-wells. Â (Followed by the next establishing shot of the Idlewild [later JFK] airport.)

Just started a new class in storyboarding this evening. Â Did these as part of an exercise in class, quickly sketching frames from the beginning of Goodfellas. Â Not my kind of movie — but certainly good for sketching practice. Â That Scorsese fellow knows a thing or two about shooting films. Â Take it from me, that guy’s gonna be big.

I did these quick and tiny versions of Shepard Fairey, Banksy and “Mr. Brainwash” while watching the interesting documentary/comedy/hoax/art piece/whatever-it-is, Exit Through the Gift Shop.

I watched this movie today, and quite enjoyed it. Not much else to say about this sketch!

Web-browser puns. Â Perhaps the highest form of comedy.

Good old Friday evening. Â Never disappoints.

Don’t remember where the idea to draw this came from. Â Must have been subconsciously planning for the year ahead, and the possible purchase of a stylish and super-safe family car. Â Yeah. Â That must have been it.

No, this is not, as you might suspect, a come-hither look. Â She’s examining a bizarre skin condition on her shoulder. Â Don’t worry: she later learns that it’s nothing serious.
Probably the most compelling sketch backstory I’ve ever written.

There’s nothing to make you feel like a sad, sorry old man than the experience of pulling a muscle in your back while straining to open a particularly tight jar.
Not that such a thing happened to me today. Â Purely theoretical.
