I've been watching "Downton Abbey" dutifully on PBS even though I know it's been out on the BBC for months. These characters almost draw themselves...

I was watching Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal"
The costume design had all this great steampunk-y, Edwardian look, and led to some fun doodling.
Doodling while watching TV...
there really are a lot of palm trees here...
Happy Halloween
A little drawing...
A friend of mine told me she was going to a large wedding...

Bloody Mary Poppins
A friend of mine was bitten by a spider, and that led, as such conversations tend to do in my circles, to speculation about super hero powers. Given her particular aesthetic and love of history, this is what we came up with...
Mismatched couples
So just a quick cafe sketch, first one from my new home in Venice Beach.
I saw this couple. Okay, granted, love is blind and all that, but the guy seriously looked like he had scabies or a serious meth addiction. Or both. (I realize these things are not mutually exclusive) While she looked like she'd just finished her organic, argula smoothie, after her ashtanga yoga session.
Passive Aggressive Ninjas
You know, the kind of person who sneaks up on you and says something unpleasant, but oblique so you can't respond directly. I've noticed that relatives are generally equipped with more than their fair share of throwing stars.
(This is my first little comic using the "Procreate" iPad app. I really like it!)
another quick sketch using Paper by 53
New High School Teacher Card
One of my favorite teachers. First person to introduce me to Sojourner Truth and the idea that what is "true" in history is highly dependent on the narrator.
Paper by Fifty Three - my new favorite sketch app!
Modern Matroyshkas
I think that for some people, you have to go pretty deep and far back, to find what's redeemable.
The Annoying Unicorn
Sketchcrawl Jan, 2012
Sketchcrawl is this.
It's always fun to see other people's take on the same subjects. The first one in SF this year was at the Ferry Market building.
(I did more drawings than these, but this is what I'm marginally happy with- let's just pretend that they were all pure gold, shall we?)
