#154 – Hey honey, I got “you” another present!

Flour sifterFifty days ago, I launched an ingenious plan to encourage increased local baked goods production.  I’m pleased to report that it’s been immensely successful.  So today, I enacted phase two: Operation Transcendently Fluffy Sifted Ingredients.  Yes, I’m working on a less cumbersome name.

#153 – Ho Hum

Hat

Not much to say about this one — it’s  your pretty basic, garden-variety sketch.  It’s a little bit…you might say…wait for it…old…hat.

Sorry.

#148 – Curiouser and curiouser

CuriouserThis is a follow-on from yesterday’s drawings.  I’m currently working on an idea to develop a series of kid-friendly characters around this and future Mars rovers.  So where yesterday’s sketches were basically a simplified version of the real thing, this is the next step — finding ways to integrate basic expressions and characteristics within/around the established structure.  We’ll see how this develops…

Curiosity

Another few sketches for a project I’m working on.  This is the NASA’s next Mars rover, currently under construction at JPL.  Through a nationwide naming contest won by a Kansas sixth-grader, this rover has been dubbed “Curiosity.”  And with a head-mounted laser, it ought to make short work of any extraterrestrial felines.

#146 – Yarrabin

YarrabinMy aunt is passing through town this weekend, and brings with her more great photos from my grandmother in Australia.  The writing on the back of this photo says that my aunt, mother and grandfather are baling hay on the family farm — but I think it’s clear who’s doing most of the work…

#144 – Brand loyalty

Canon PowerShot SD870Another soulless product illustration!  Sorry, I wasn’t feeling particularly creative tonight, so we’re left with another “nearest object” sketch.  But it’s all good practice.  Plus, even though it’s a dinky pocket-cam, it’s still a Canon.  So perhaps Ben and Sean can forgive my earlier indiscretion.

#139 – Branching out

Branches

This is the evolution of another little graphic idea for the web (commissioned by the lovely Mrs. Sketch 365).  And yes, I realize I’m pandering to my female readers with my recent posts of flowery branches, muscular shirtless men, and of course, Vanilla Ice.
