As I was heading in to work today, I rounded a corner and suddenly met a yappy little dog making a bee-line for my front wheel. Â It’s lucky it wasn’t a cat, or I might not have been motivated to be quite so responsive with the brakes. Â (Kidding! Â Sort of!)

This is also a response to my wife’s little drawing challenge over at The Give Way. The very specific commission: an elephant eating cotton candy.
I also figured that after the past three day’s sketches featuring venomous creatures, tongues of fire, and vein-bulgingly hypermasculine posturing, I figured it was time to swing to the other side and go overboard cutesy.

I was reading about scorpions today. Â Sort of. Â So I figured I’d try drawing one. Â Then I tried a couple more. Â Then it seemed like I might as well fill the sketchbook page. Â You’re welcome, readers who find scorpions creepy!

I’m often amused by art that for no apparent reason just takes a human form and transposes some unexpected object in place of the head.  So I thought I would stop by Flickr and let their random photo picker come up with the ingredients for just such a piece.  And thus was born the first member of the fearsome North Korean Baby Alpaca Regiment of Genetic Superwarriors.

A little doodle inspired by today’s visit to the legendary Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles. Â A legendarily horrifying/delicious Southern California institution that never disappoints.

Went out for sushi at lunch. Did not make any friends in the piscine community.

Finally got to welcome my cousin back to California today! Â This guy rode shotgun on the 3000-mile U-Haul trek, and saw her through scorching deserts, blown tires, and (shudder) Graceland. Â You’re a trooper, Bernie.

What’s that? Â I’m a month late? Â Sorry, my cable’s been a little spotty.
This was based on a random Flickr photo — but should have been drawn with different media. Â When the gradation effect I was trying didn’t work out, I decided to go straight black-and-white, but that just makes him look like an orca. Â Oh well. Â At least he still looks like he could mess you up. Â That, after all, is the most important part of any shark drawing.

…to imagine as skeletons.

I’ve decided I need to figure out how to draw with fine line pen. Â The answer: not quite like this. Â But I’ll figure it out.
(Oh, and for the curious, this is drawn based on a small sculpture from Zimbabwe.)
