doodlesplody


Scratched out the simpler one on a 5x7 pad of paper from Spin. Scanned it in, printed it out on 8.5x11 paper and just kept going. Not sure if that version is done, but I scanned it in, and I'm going to print it out again and add another level to it. I'm just going to work on this one drawing over and over again for the rest of my natural born life. Repetition with improvisation. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Drawing the News: Bill Richardson



Drawing that sorta looks like Bill Richardson with a guy who sorta looks like Obama in the background. I think I messed up Richardson's eyes which throws the whole face off. I did the shading in photoshop.

Fun fun fun. Fascinating. And fun!

The History of these here Internets

A nicely elucidated, yet simple look at the history of computer networks. Nicely animated, carefully explained, and, thankfully, not TOO much detail.

I'm not Travis Charest


I'm not Travis Charest, nor will I ever be, and sometimes that is just a depressing fact to admit. I have a good amount of patience while drawing, and can hold a line decently well, but the facts is duh facts.

more drawings


Trying to experiment a bit with character design - drawing the same character from multiple angles. Seems like it should be easy, but since I've never tried it before, it is actually somewhat challenging, as these early, sloppy attempts show. The first one looks like two completely different characters, but I think the second one would be viable.

Drawing the news


Here are two more drawings, from a picture that was below the fold on the frond page of the Sunday Times this past weekend. The first I did yesterday and it is beyond rough, the second one is from today. Can you spot the difference? The third is the source image, which I couldn't find anywhere on the Times website.
