Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

Love him or hate him, this guy was unarguably a tremendous talent.  I drew this tonight after watching the tragically fascinating “This Is It.”

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.  It’s lucky it wasn’t a cat, or I might not have been motivated to be quite so responsive with the brakes.  (Kidding!  Sort of!)

This is the last thing that bee saw this morning before I tore him to pieces with my bare neck.  Oh sure, Bee — you got a little sting in there, but you are now most unarguably dead, AND I EMERGE THE VICTOR!!

Next time try picking on someone your own size.

Always a party when these two show up.

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.

So this was just based on a random photo I found on Flickr.  Had a bit of trouble with the figure in this drawing.  I kept erasing bits, modifying the proportions and so on, but it kept not working right.  Eventually, I realized I had to erase her completely and start again from scratch.  How appropriate, it then seemed, that she should be standing in front of an Edsel…

Went to the gym for about 45 mins today.  So now I pretty much look like this.

And yes, I will be entertaining offers from any reputable sideshow organizers.

At work, I’ve returned to the animation project I was working on, and have been sketching a few more storyboard frames.  Here, the orbiter comes back to Earth, to drop off a sample of material collected on Mars.  Of course, the drawing is nothing special, but the accomplishment it represents sure would be something.

Boy, if yesterday sketch-from-life wasn’t ho-hum enough, this one sure is.   After two weeks of travel, and one of avoidance, I spent much of my day off tending to five loads of laundry.  Thrilling stuff, eh?

Went in for an eye test today.  Can you tell yet that we’re done with the European travels and back to mundane life?  Anyway, it was off to the optometrist.  I always enjoy donning the evil, all-seeing robot mask.  And no, I don’t find that the sense of ultimate power it grants is in any way compromised by the fact that I need help using it every single time…
