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.

After watching the BCS title game tonight, I drew this as a tribute to Auburn’s win over Oregon. Â I’d considered drawing something based on the mascots — something more needlessly visceral, like a tiger actually devouring a duck — but this was just a lot quicker and easier.

Went to a surprise party tonight for a friend who has just finished law school like a champ. Â I can’t imagine putting myself through something like that. Â So cheers, Jason — enjoy that well-deserved drink! Â Oh, and then the months of agonizing bar prep…

Inception is just one of those movies that gets stuck in your brain — as previously demonstrated. Â I watched it again today for the second time, so of course it came out in today’s sketch.

Another day, another failure to think of anything to sketch. Â Once again, I’m rescued by Flickr’s random and ever-changing art exhibition: “Interesting photos from the last 7 days.” Â This is a simplified pen sketch inspired by this photo from Flickr user Peter French.

Spent most of the day with a couple dozen friends, chopping up trees into firewood. Â (This of course included the tree from Sketch #285.) Â It’s part of an annual fundraiser, and definitely one of the most fun Sundays of the year. Â Of course, that means tomorrow is one of the most achy Mondays of the year…

Heard a fascinating first-person story today from a man who ran out of fuel in his small plane over Alaska, and had to find a dirt road to put it down on, while operating with no engine. Â That’s a presence of mind that’s difficult to imagine. Â Of course, the story was stuck in my mind when sketch time rolled around.

Drove up the Central Valley today — been a while since I did that. Â On my way to the mountains for a good time this weekend. Â In the absence of anything else to sketch, I drew one of these things (of which I passed a few today).

Pretty much spent the whole day doing back-to-back stupid/awesome activities with friends. Â The annual horror/delight of the “scrambled eggsnog” breakfast, an early matinee of TRON, some more LEGO assembly, filling my face with delicious tacos, and finally a collective screening of a bad B-movie. Â It’s a pity days like this can’t last forever.

Tonight, my wife felt like making a great meal that she hasn’t made for a while. Â Mmmmm….meatloaf. Â But since I’ve already sketched meatloaf itself, I figured I’d go with some of the tools of the trade for today’s drawing.
