#135 – Look sharp!

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

#130 – Workday wipeaway

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

#125 – El león

PedroFound 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.

#124 – Architecture of the mind

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

Apple headphones

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

#112 – MIssed opportuniTY

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

#104 – Anniversary “gift”

KitchenAid mixerJust 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.

#94 – The Mystery Machine

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