Ladies

Some dresses from Mod Cloth in some poses from Pose Maniacs.

Pretty lady on a balcony from ...Ach, I don't remember. It was such a great picture too. I assumed it was The Sartorialist, but now I can't find it.

Holy smokes!

The lady who does Marlowe the Monster put up necklaces and  stuff for sale after Valentine's Day. I almost forgot to get one, but there was one left. An adorable confused one!

Here's what came in the package.

 A card with a nice note on the back.

 A sweet little package and copper wire necklace.

 The little wrapped package had this great label that I shall keep on my wall.

Here's the pendant that was in the little package!

Me actually wearing the pendant and making faces at Abe because I can only hold a straight face for 1 second before it starts to morph.

And a close up of it on.

I love it. I hope I don't break it. I wore it to work today and it seems to have worn fine.

FYI, Abe took all the photos. There are a lot more than this with me making a lot of weird weird faces. I can only take a normal looking photo for about 1 sec and  he is too slow.

Drink and Draw

It wouldn't be Drink and Draw without a little Batman.

 Practicing for Great Beard.

More practice but in pencil. I can't figure out what he should wear. I think I like the fringed pants.

Jessica Fletcher

One of the lovely ladies from Reading in Skirts. I drew this a while ago, but Abe didn't scan it.

I have been watching a ton of Murder, She Wrote lately. So here is Jessica Fletcher. I blame Faith Erin Hicks (of Friends with Boys and Superhero Girl) because every time I check out something she has recommended I love it. I stated reading Fullmetal Alchemist and it is awesome. I have already read the first two volumes and I adore it. I am trying to decide if it is worth it to buy them at $10 for each of the 27 volumes.

I was finally inking a Wonder Woman story and had to practice again so here's the practice.

Awesome Picard

And now we know.

Valentine's stuff.

Abe and I made a stop motion video in the fall for his school homework.

Drawing on Valentine's.

I drew this for Abe the day before Valentine's. If you can't tell, his nose ended up in my mouth.s

Graphic Novel Panel repost

I wrote about a Graphic Novel Panel that Abe and I attended on the Flying Dodo Publications blog. But I wrote so much I had to split it over three blog posts. I guess I could have done one long one, but what's the fun in that.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

More Batman!

When I don't know what to draw at Drink 'n' Draw, I end up drawing Batman.

I also drew a bunch of deer and posted them at Ink Tub.

Cowboy

We are having a nerf gun gallery shooting challenge at work this Thursday so I drew this little guy today:

This is the one we will use on the scorecards.

This one is just for me.

Monster and me

 I have had my eye on Shing Yin Khor of Sawdust Bear for a while now. She does Marlowe the Monster, one of my favorite web comics. But she also does the crazy monster things out of clay and has recently been posting her drawings of them. I love them all. So I drew one, too. Mine's not as good, but I may do more.

A practice drawing of Jim for a small comic.

And the practice sketches of my mom.

This is from The Sartorialist, but he looks so much like Harvey Pekar to me..

I found this picture particularly amazing for some reason. The Sartorialist.

This picture was so adorable (from The Sartorialist), I didn't do it justice. But I do remember that I drew it during an episode of Murder, She Wrote with the Russian Ballet.

Beards and Gronk

 Still trying out beard drawing and I am actually really happy with these. For some reason, I am adoring drawing with a Pilot Precise V5 Rolling Ball pen. It's just a regular pen. But I really like those these turn out!

Also, this is Gronk. If you are not reading Katie Cook's Gronk every Friday, you should be. It is really cute.

Drink and Draw

Drink and draw yesterday. I could drink again, so that was nice. But we couldn't sit with everyone else 'cause the table was full. We stayed just as long as normal because I take so freakin' long to drink a beer. I drew this and the stuff on Ink Tub, but I also finished most of the hourly comic day comic. I could only do sketches at work, where I should, you know, work.
I also drew this on Tuesday. I think Zooey Derschanel is adorable and funny. Too bad this doesn't look much like her. But I like the hair a lot.
