We’re heading for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at my wife’s family’s place. They’ve hosted everyone for years, and always do a great job. We were thinking about getting them some kind of thank-you gift, and then my wife came up with the idea of me sketching something for them. They’re labrador people, so hopefully they’ll like it.

My friend from yesterday’s sketch was actually admitted to the hospital for surgery. Thankfully it went well, but since he was drugged up with a dead arm, I went by the hospital and picked up his car for him. For better or worse, it’s the absolute opposite of what I’m used to driving.

…or at least try not to break any more fingers. Just a friendly piece of advice for my workmate, who is now a makeshift Vulcan.

Had my grandmother in town for a visit, and we spent the day doing lots of grandma type things (botanical gardens, tea, etc.). Â As enjoyable as it was, at the end I felt like I needed to do something uniquely masculine to balance it all out. Â Unfortunately, there were no grizzly bears around that I could punch in the face, so I had to settle for sketching it.

I did a series of very quick sketches inspired by random Flickr images this evening. Â This was one of the simplest, but I like it better than the others. Â It’s a variation on this photo.

I saw this great photo online today, and decided to do something simple inspired by it.

Drew this tonight after watching Spike Jonze’s adaptation of “Where the Wild Things Are.”

Saw a bunch of political pundits on TV this evening. Â Such a pointless charade. Â Anyway, this started out based on a photo of James Carville, but as you can see, I pretty much abandoned any effort to make it actually look like him. Â So now it’s just “generic angry bald guy.”

Dropped in at another figure drawing workshop for a while this evening. Â I’m so rusty though, that all my drawings were really weak. Â Of all the model’s poses, this one seemed to fit best.

Just as I was trying to come up with something to draw, I heard from a friend offering to bring homegrown habañeros from Texas.  I signed right up — and got out the charcoal pencil for a quick sketch.
