S.A.D. 21: How To Catch Birds

I whipped this one out, this morning. On the ol' playlist:

Madlib - The Beat Konducta In India
Madvillain - Madvillainy 2: The Remix
Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams
Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold

"Gravity-y-y-y-y-yyy on me. Never let me down gently."

S.A.D. 21: Step Sitter

What can I say. I like sitting on steps. And I like drawing girls sitting on steps. So I noodled this out on a stack of cover stock that I recently unearthed in my studio.

S.A.D. 19: Mister Matheson

I did this late last Friday night, after hanging out with a friend at a concert/live art/live silkscreening show in my hood. While drawing it, I kept thinking --

"After pondering spending the rest of his life in prison, Mister Matheson seriously considered hanging himself with his tie."

S.A.D. 18: Up The Point

Um... huh? I must have been faded when I drew this. Just playing around with lines and color....

S.A.D. 17: Look Back!

I drew this city-dwelling lady at a winery/pub in Sonoma. The place was a total local hangout, like something right out of "Cheers." It continually filled up, and everyone seemed to know each other. When we walked in, it was like the scene in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, when he goes into the truck stop and says, "Large Marge sent me."

But, out of place as we were, the bartender was a friendly old grizzly, and hooked us up with generous pours of merlot.

S.A.D. 16: Cavalry Oddity

I noodled this little guy at Kate's Kitchen. I was there, last week, with my Lady and our friend Val (who was visiting from L.A.). Nothing says "Sonoma road trip pre-game" like hot coffee and pancakes stacked with an assload of granola & strawberries. Yumsters!

The Mouse. The Model. The Horse.

Good Lordy! Has it really been a week since I've posted? Sorry, peoples. We had company here in The Bunker, from last Thursday into the weekend. Then we hosted a Bowl soiree. Then I had to knock out a four-page comic and a logo design. Something had to give. Sadly, it was the blog. Ah well, I'm back at it now!

Speaking of that comic, here it is -- "The Mouse. The Model. The Horse." I did it for
Poseur Ink's "Side B," an anthology of short stories about music and the many roles it plays in our lives. This is the first sequential work I've done since finishing "Everybody's DEAD." It was a blast to create, and I hope you all get a kick out of it, too.

ps--
I've still been doing the Sketch-A-Day, during this blog hiatus. I'll scan my recent goodies and post them today. Boom!
