Another “grab-the-nearest-object” sketch. Â This little thing has been instrumental to almost all of the prismacolor pencil drawings on this site. Â In fact, this drawing itself was done with a prisma pencil, so I actually had to use this sharpener while drawing it. Â Hey, I should have drawn the actual pencil inside it. Â And then me holding that pencil in my hand. Â And then my actual pencil drawing my own hand. Â And then, inevitably, this.

Another lazy glassware sketch — but hey, good old reliable Mijares happy hour always does the trick. Â Only problem here: the quick and sloppy attempt at salt on the rim looks more like dangerously broken glass. Â Drink up!

Found this guy a few years back, either at a garage sale, or a thrift store or something.  All I remember is that I had to get him because the character design was so cool.  The actual toy is much cooler than the drawing; I love the fabric and color choices.  (Here he is in real life, for comparison.)  Somewhere along the way, I decided he looked like a Pedro — and the name stuck.

July 16: the long-awaiting opening day of “Inception.” Â After seeing the 10 a.m. showing, my wife and I were talking about it all day. Â I suppose it’s not surprising then, that at the end of the day, this is the sketch that came out of my brain.

Got a sneak preview tonight of another upcoming creativity project — one that required me to break these out. Â I like what I’m hearing, and hopefully before long you’ll see it appearing in the list of links on the right…

I have failed you, loyal reader. Â Sure, I drew a cool, refreshing mai tai — but did I complete the pun hat trick by also sketching “my tie” and “muay thai?” Â I did not. Â And now it’s too late. Â I leave Hawaii in disgrace.

Just bought my wife of these great mixers. Of course, this “gift” is a lot like when Homer buys Marge a bowling ball with “Homer” inscribed on it. But if you’ve enjoyed her excellent baked goods, you’ll know why I’d want to encourage their regular production.

Okay, so — the first person who can correctly identify what this thing does wins…oh, say, a dollar. Â Wait, this may be super-easy. Â This could be an ill-conceived contest…
