this drawing makes me so tired.

i wish i could fall asleep in the clouds too. instead i have to sleep on a pile of dog hair and cat litter.

what a man.

listen sweet-haat. i is poi-fect just the ways i am.

Who could resist those big doe-eyes?

live and learn.

i should have gotten the "a" sweater. but "w" seemed so perfect at the time.

This character is actually related to someting that I'm working on right now. More on that soon in my process blog.

how's the weather down there?

This little dude ended up on my notes somehow. I think he might be a frog or something.


being tall isn't that rad. i imagine...

Ghost-Proof Suit from Mexico

I just got back from Mexico. It was a blast of righteous awesome to my face. But it was a lot of travel.

I hate drawing on airplanes, buses, trains or cars, but I did anyway. Because it's more boring not to.

Here's the only drawing from the trip that I like even a little bit:


ghosts are a constant worry for most of us. especially those of us without our own ghost-proof suit.

Not very Mexico-y, I guess.

the rhyme game.

oh, i love that game!

a dark and stormy night.

it takes all kinds.

going back for seconds.

Here's a non-mutilated bunny for all the folks who were offended by the mutilated one. And there were kind of a lot.


hey, cute bunny! you shouldn't go back for seconds, you're kind of chubby.

dirt + baby = bathtime

babies are gross and dirty. dirty babies.

oh thank goodness.

he was getting worried.

live and die for hair gel.

this dude is stoked for his perfectly coifed spikes.

Monster Love.

Some monsters are full of love. Most of full of children. Children that they ate the night before.


he's a big, sloppy pile of greasy, slimy love.

face sucker.

what a kisser.

sweet like candy.

he was actually more of a failure than he was sweet.

oh, that dude.

Update : I added a little color to and grit. Check out the final in my process blog.


tough guy. i guess.

In the Army! Now!

did you ever see the documentary In the Army Now*?

*Not a real documentary. Actually a hilarious 1994 Paul Shore buddy-flick.

Noodle time.

his camouflage hides him in his natural habital... spaghetti.

sweater haters.

other cats make fun, teasing that his sweater's too big, but they're all just haters. haters of the game.

brain bubble.

And now back to the good old moleskin notebook.


his new brain gave him a renewed sense of self-worth...

I love that tiny little book.

stab a bean.

Another meeting doodle.


i guess i hate beans or something.

read that back to me...

In true A Day in the Life spirit, the following drawings were taken from the notes I took during a meeting. So they are random and I don't know how / why I drew them.


ahhh... moose... guy... who thinks... he's the life of the party?


umm... snake... guy... with anime-ish hair...

Yes. Indeed.

seed mooch.

you're just using me for my seed collection, seed-lover.

Doom-cicle.

doom?

a quiet space battle

in the midst of a slightly boring, but still intergalactic, battle over the possession of a huge space crystal diamond.

bite me.

he was nicer than his teeth let on.

alpha beta crap-a

when you're in a frat with this dude you don't just party. you par-tay.

in poor taste.

"don't cry! i'm not dead, dudes! you just never had me in the first place!"

P.S. it's Friday the Turd-teenth! My favorite holiday of all!

in-tents.

he was one intense dude.

Do you know what else is intense?

Camping is.

deep blue cutie

…on the verge of capturing the elusive and majestic Cutiefish. it's so cute it inspired the Cuddlefish to cuddle. yes! so cute!

gas-face.

Some days just get the gas-face. Today was one of those days.


don't worry, dude, at least you've still got your radiant good looks and gentlemanly charm going for you.
