On a business trip this week. Got to my hotel room, and the pillow was wishing me “sweet dreams.” Yeah, not interested. Make me a pillow that says “Awesome Dreams!” And on the backside should be embroidered a bullet list of potential starter ideas: jetpacks, avalanches, robots, swordfighting, hidden volcano fortresses, shootouts, international smuggling, time travel…

Regular readers will know that my elder brother has become the de facto antagonist for the Sketch 365 story (wheninrealityhehasbeennothingbutsupportive-butforgetIsaidthat). Â Here, the sinister mustache-twirler lurks just left of frame.

Not much to say about this one. Â Just a quick sketch before heading to bed. Â I drew that lamp on the right a couple of different (read: incorrect) ways before giving up and calling it a night.

Laptop guy should get some glasses so he doesn’t have to sit so close to the screen.

Okay, seriously — last time with the drill. Â This is the final assignment for the class I’m in. Â Two orthographic sketches, plus one perspective sketch that’s then painted in Photoshop.
Oh, and hey, Hollywood — get to work on the “Firestorm” action trilogy. Â I’ve delivered the titles, now just get one of your typewriter monkeys to churn out a script or two.

Went to John Beck’s studio tonight for some filming for “Tyranny.” Amidst all the crazy stuff in his place (galvanometers, saxophones, maritime pulleys, you name it…) I spotted this model truck sitting on a shelf. Fit in this quick sketch during breaks in shooting.

For my last assignment in this class, I’m returning to the drill from sketch #11. Â This one is just a simple line drawing at the moment, because it’s going to be given a Photoshop paint job. Â Also, I’m including the exploded view with arrow to indicate the detachable chuck feature.

At the start of this project, I made an important declaration. Â The gauntlet is laid, Miss Gaston.

Okay, I know this looks bad, but here’s the story: we were waiting for a table at Panda Inn, and I needed something to sketch. Â Above the bar hangs a group of masks, of which these are two. Â Unfortunately, when I finished my sketches, I realized they looked not so much like masks as like offensive caricatures. Â That’s why I added the lettering to the right (and this overwrought, apologetic caption).
Actually, I’ve been trying to avoid drawing anything that is itself a representation (like sketching a photo, sculpture, or other piece of art). Â If only I’d stuck to that rule, I never would have drawn these things!

I’m no paid spokesperson for Electra, but I can tell you they make a great bike. Â This is Kelly’s townie, which she decked out with super-stylin’ hibiscus flower stickers.
