#275 – Quadradoodle
I have no explanation for these. Â I just kind of sat down and started doodling. Â How a gaunt weirdo, a tree, a crow and a jack-in-the-box fit together I have no idea.

#271 – Blind man’s bluff
My wife’s half-joking idea for today’s sketch: “Draw your glasses without having them on.”  “Piece of cake,” said the foolish husband. Behold the price of hubris. I done forgot: I cain’t see real good.

#270 – Hipster Cinderella
If you have to do it, you might as well do it in style. Â Inspired by a great photo from Lindsay Anderson & Jennifer Glen.

#267 – Old Giza
I was reading something this evening about Egypt, and the location was somehow stuck in my mind when it came time for today’s drawing.

#263 – Suburban sprawl
This was me after getting home from work today. Â I woke up a while later, and did this quick sketch while I still had a sliver of energy. Â I need to start going to bed earlier.

#257 – Pictionary puzzle
It’s been a long time since I last played Pictionary.  So this evening, I decided to grab a card and see if I could draw all five things on it in one sketch.  So, for your viewing pleasure, here’s a 1) Ragged 2) Lawyer 3) Choking on a 4) Pop Tart while on a 5) Maiden Voyage.

#254 – Tonka truck
My friend from yesterday’s sketch was actually admitted to the hospital for surgery. Thankfully it went well, but since he was drugged up with a dead arm, I went by the hospital and picked up his car for him. For better or worse, it’s the absolute opposite of what I’m used to driving.

#244 – Park Place
We’re babysitting my niece and nephew this weekend, so today I took them to the park down the street.  A nice, relaxing morning.  I sat and sketched this while they were looking in the bushes for treasure.  As I finished, I discovered that my 4-year-old nephew had been working on a cocktail of sorts.  His found ingredients, combined in a discarded pudding cup: water, leaves, dirt, a small rock, some dried up olives, and a metal screw.  I resolved to be more attentive.
