Here are some really quick paintings I did in my sketchbook. I love sketches... a lot of times I like sketches more than finished art.
These were done with one of those marvelous brush-pens and a travel watercolor kit.
What's nice about watercolor is that it has an immediacy and kinneticism to it that other paints don't have... plus, when you can't draw for shit (like me) it makes your doodles look like they were 'meant' to look rough.
I first decided to put sketchbook scans up on the blog when I saw them on Louie Del Carmen's blog (randomanomalies.blogspot.com) and thought they looked incredibly cool... now, in retrospect, I realize that I've just set myself up for a horrifyingly disappointing comparison... oh well... enjoy these drawings, but if you wanna see really GOOD stuff, go to Louie's blog. He's my hero.

ah your so silly, thoses are great, wooha those are some big hands
I don't know what kind of dope you're smoking, but these look great. And yes, those big 'ole hands are freakin' cool!
You're both far too kind...
The dude with the big hands was inspired by one of about a gazillion TV commercials (usually for things like soda or jeans) that feature 'hip, on-the-edge, devil-may-care' twentysomethings running around being cool and doing oh-so-radical things like throwing parties on rooftops and taking lots of wacky photo-booth pictures.
Anyway, it seems like all of these commercials had these kids thrusting their hands way up into camera... what kind of message this was trying to convey I have no idea... but it made me truly start to realize how drastically out-of-touch I am with the new generation - AND how profoundly glad I am about that.
The top photo of the man looks something like I've seen from your old collge days. I do truly love to read the old comic book.
Ah, that's just because your husband starred in them...
I shudder when I look at my old comics...
I don't like you.
I wish I could quit you.
XOXOXOXo,
Me
