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.

Just a little doodle at the end of the day. Â I don’t know what happened to that one earlobe, but it kind of looks like I fell asleep a little while drawing. Â Wouldn’t be the first time.

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.

I recently watched an interesting presentation about creativity. Â Within it is a creative exercise that challenges you to: a) imagine a picture of a bear; b) think of a different bear; c)Â dig deeper and attempt to conjure a third visual of a bear. Â It gets increasingly difficult, but also requires creative thinking.
Anyway, I was thinking about that when I drew these. Â I took the idea pretty literally and tried to come up with three different ways of drawing something. Â In this case, I substituted the bear with a monkey (something that I’ve long been terrible at drawing from imagination). Â It was an interesting challenge. Â Later I noticed that my monkeys got progressively happier and more active. Â I guess that’s a good sign?

Not a great night for the Atlanta Falcons. Â Doodled this after watching the game tonight. Â Better luck next year, gents.

So I did the quick sketch of the flask, didn’t really like it, and flipped the page. Â Did the even quicker sketch of the forlorn mountain man, didn’t really like it, and flipped the page. Â Then I went back and looked at the two together. Â Something seemed to match up, so I figured Photoshop should bring them together.
