I found a new notepad that I really like. It's a pretty thick paper with a smooth finish. The pencil glides along smoothly on it and it seems to hold ink very well. The problem is that it's pretty small - about 4x4 inches. There is no brand name on it but I'm gonna ask the art supply store I bought it at to help me find some of the same paper in a bigger format.

Marvel Monday!

The theme I went with this week was "characters without faces." I think it would have worked better if I'd managed to keep my schedule better. I'm not sure whether or not sticking to a theme slowed down my productivity or not but I really don't feel like doing a theme week again for a good long while.

I want to see a Halo vs. Metroid game. Who's with me?

062

Ruby Thursday.

061

Hurm.

060

I've decided to do a theme this week. Who will be the first to guess what it is?

Marvel Monday!

The daily sketchblog is a harsh mistress. Its enormous appetite devours everything you throw at it an alarming pace, like the Sarlacc Pit and the Cookie Monster combined. So if I fall a day behind on occasion, keep in mind that it's harder than it looks. I'll try to catch up shortly.

A tip of the hat to Alan Moore and to my friend Mario C.

Happy Birthday, gentlemen!

"The paint on the walls was matted from years of cigarette smoke and pale regret. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw her future reflected in the glistening sweat on his back, and it scared her. As soon as she had finished her cigarette, she would defy the fates. She would walk out the door and leave forever. If she loved him at all, she loved him too much.

But then he smiled at her with half-open eyes, and she held back the tears and returned to bed. She thought to herself, if she was doomed anyway she might as well enjoy it."

I like drawing black people. They often have very interesting faces.

055

What do you mean those guns aren't in the game? Just because you haven't unlocked them yet. Keep playing.

I went to an awesome concert tonight, and was inspired.

Rikard, e-mail me the photos you took please!

As for these pictures, I drew the first one up there 13 years ago. The second one is brand new. Judge for yourself how much my style and craft has evolved... or devolved. Opinions may vary.

There are some iffy parts in the new one that I was gonna fix when I inked it (and add a mic stand too), but I seriously need to get some sleep. So that will have to wait. I may do an update later.

053

R2D2 sounds a little bit like Humpty Dumpty doesn't it? Or is that too far-fetched? Does anyone know if George Lucas had that in mind?

052

Marvel Monday!

I returned to my day job today. So if the updates become a little more erratic from here on, that's why. I'm not quitting yet, though.

051

Punisher?

Nah, she said she was sorry. I decided to just let it go.

050

What better way to celebrate the 50th entry than with a little flash?

049

And it's been that way for a while now.

Today's the 80th birthday of Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and many other characters. I don't expect him to be reading this, but I thought I should pay tribute to someone whose creations have entertained so many people for so long. Speedball here is a favorite of mine. I like goofy, fun characters.

The rendering is a bit sloppy, I'll admit, but it is a sketchblog, after all.
