SKETCH FOR SHANE.
Cost: nada
Time: 45 minutes
Headspace: While this isn’t a great drawing (because I suck), it was labor-intensive. There is a lot of detail in these little circuit boards! This sketch is for my friend Shane, who is in game development. The board I drew is inspired by a Game Boy cartridge. We’re nerds like that.
DUCKHORSE SKETCH.
Cost: nada
Time: 30 minutes
Headspace: I’m really tired today, and just want to watch a movie. This will be short.
My lack of motivation was usurped by my daydreaming of seahorses on my bus home from work. But I suck at art, so seahorses are out of reach for me. Thus, duckhorse is born.
SUGAR SKULL DRAWING.
Cost: Nada
Time: 2 hours. No joke.
Headspace: I’m kind of, sort of, totally obsessed with sugar skulls. If you don’t know what this represents or why it is used, on November 2nd go attend the closest Dia de Los Muertos event.
Strangely, this sketch became quite personal and therapeutic. There are a few elements in the design that mean a lot to me.
MAKE A 3 YEAR OLD A BIRTHDAY CARD.
Cost: Nada
Time: 1 hour.
Headspace: I love this little girl (and her Mama and the entire family) so much. I wish my art communicated this better. Either way, hopefully this makes her laugh, even if it is at my expense.
Also, this sketch is a close rip-off of a cute comic character named Bumberpup.
SKETCH A ROBOT.
Cost: $1.20 (sheet of velum and the tissue paper underneath)
Headspace: I was bored at work. So I sketched a robot on the wrapping paper of a friends gift.
ZZZZZZZZZZZ (Sorry, I just bored myself to sleep.)
For the curious, the gift is the new Adrian Tomine Optic Nerve set. Highly recommended. But don’t tell Renee.
(Yes, this is a bit late going up. I’ve been too lazy to scan.)
Cost: Nada
Time: 20 minutes?
Headspace: I’m really glad 2010 is over. I felt like a lil sketch homage was appropriate. In case you can’t make out my sloppy handwriting, these are the things I was most grateful for last year:
