The first drawing in my new sketchbook. Of course it has to be Sue in her squirrel form.

This shows a definite David Hopkins influence; I've been reading a lot of his stuff lately, and you should too!

We were having sushi tonight and my wife started playing with one of the salmon pieces, saying it looked like a little creature. So here is the first (as far as I know) AnthroSushi.

Remember, you're never too old to play with your food.

I've found that when e-mailing co-workers, a simple graphic can sometimes help emphasize your message.

I didn't realize how badly shrinking this down & transferring it to VCL had mangled this, so I'm trying it again, a little larger.

this is continued from my 'thumped.jpg' (I think I put it in sketches) and Spug's 'badpie.jpg'.

Again, only Spug will really understand - Uh - I guess this one is pretty obvious actually.

Duck is & is (c) me, Sue is (c) Sue (well I draw her but she'd thump me again if I said I owned her), and Spug is (c) the ever-cool Spug!

Sue was thrilled when she found praying mantises in her garden. She was even more thrilled when monarch butterflies started coming there. But she was kinda traumatized when she saw how the two interacted!

not nice not nice not nice...

I love my long black goth coat and my big purple mad hatter hat!

Just sent out the invites to our "Tropical Getaway in Winter" party! Wish you all could come!

I'll get Sue into the Hula outfit yet...

Oh, and all you VCLer's: If your regular pen runs out, don't start inking with just anything; ink smears mixed in with your color pencils tend to spoil the colors :-(

Hello one & all! I got in! Break out the cigars and the fez, it's party time! colored pencils w/gellpen outlines.

Sometimes I feel like the Ugly Duckling...

who grew up to be an ugly duck.

*sigh*

It's the Ugly Duck again. Practicing in ink. I like that I can actually draw my glasses on this; they never looked right on my stupid wolf/fox/dog thing. 'course, it's hard to draw a goatee on a duck. TWO pens died on my while I was doing this in a bookstore cafe.

It's nice to have someone who understands you...

and who doesn't make a break for it as soon as you untie them.

Sometimes I wish I weren’t such a nice person. Sometimes I’d like to take all the venom that certain people have spewed at me, and spew it right back at them, without caring about how much it hurts them.

ANDY will solve all your problems... ANDY will keep the other countries in line, or else... ANDY has the best sex scandals and the most reasonable bribes... VOTE ANDY

Duck: Gaaaaaah, Andy drew my pants too big, if I stand up they'll fall down, and the background's giving me vertigo!

Sue (adjusting low-cut belly shirt): Hush Pooky, nobody's looking at you.

We walked to the bagel place near us this morning, and as we were ordering Sue said she knew she wouldn't like the cappuccino there because the machine looked "silly" and went "VRM VRM VRM" instead of (phlegm noise) "Chhht, Chhht".
I have no idea what she meant.
Doesn't she look cute in mittens? ^_^

Can't quite seem to pull myself together...

Normal service will resume as soon as possible.

So many pics I want to draw for people and everything I draw today comes out looking like $#!%. I suck. Waaaagh!

doodling with my new brush-pen while stuck in a hotel in New Jersey.

I'm tired and run-down and depressed. I wanna take my toys and go home now.

I hate that question more than any other. And when someone says they LIKE one of my paintings, THEN asks what is is, that kinda takes away from the percieved sincerity of the compliment, doncha think?

Why must my scanner butcher my pencils? A wood duck. In a 70's shirt. Why? Cuz I've been lying on the couch sick all day and I have to draw something.

15 Tim Tams? Aww, that's too cute. And this is way too cute too. From a Christmas card for my nephew.

haven't uploaded here in ages.

Just bored on my lunchbreak.
