#189 – Nice set of wheels

WheelchairSitting at LAX this evening waiting for a flight.  Airports, I’ve found, are not so great for finding things to draw.  That’s how you end up with a sketch like this.

#186 – Castles in the Skye

Eilean Donan CastleThis is a quick little pencil-and-brush-pen sketch based on a photo I took a couple years ago on a visit to the Isle of Skye.  Eilean Donan Castle, to be specific.  You can Google it if you want to check my work.  But you probably shouldn’t do that.  Let’s just pretend it looks exactly like this.

P.S. – Sketch confessional: after my first pass at the hair, I had to get out the eraser to make the hairline a little more accurate.  Didn’t want anyone to call me out on it.

#181 – Leavin’ on a (cartoonishly oversized) jet plane

Airbus A380Just took my cousin to the airport for a visit to the motherland.  Best way to get there: Qantas A380.  What’s that you say?  You want to see the inside?  You got it.

#178 – Cross-Country Cousin & the Chaperone Chimp

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

#172 – Some sort of research

Some kind of researchI wonder how long it will be before we look at a picture like this and say, “Can you believe we used to work that way?”  “Yeah, remember ‘laptops?'” “And ‘keyboards?'” “And ‘mice?'”
