Shark Week Pt02

Here are some more Shark Week sketches...sorry for the weird fuzzies around the edges. Some of the sketchbook pages scanned a little funny because of the binding of the pages...

Day 5:  The Basking Shark!

 

Day 6:  The Bonnethead Shark!

And Day 7:  The Great White Shark of course

The Grocery Store Pundit

I've been doing more comics in my sketchbook lately. This one is about yet another weird encounter I had the other night at my local Albertsons. It seems like every time I go there, I see something weird. I did not make any of this dialogue up...these are the exact puns the rather hammy cashier used when I got up to the checkout stand....

I hurriedly left the store with many questions--exactly how many grocery puns does that guy have in his repertoire? Just what is the appropriate response to an unexpected barrage of food-related jokes? And why is it so hard to control my face during awkward situations?

Dragon Sketchbook Pages

Here are a few Dragon-themed doodles from my most recent sketchbooks:

 

Also, here is a Toothless sketch I drew a few months back on an old story pad cover:

Hourly Comics Day

I'm posting this pretty darn late, but Friday was Hourly Comics Day! I decided to draw each hour as a page in my new sketchbook (and I finally got around to scanning them all):

I used a couple of pens, and a variety of rather bleedy markers to ink and color the pages. The style isn't too terribly consistent here, and the execution kind of messy, but I had a lot of fun doing these:

And what the heck, here is the page of warm ups I did (to test out my pens and markers):

Also, check out these magnificent hourly comics by:

Stu Livingston
Carrie Liao
Anthony Holden

Jean Kang
James Lien

...Who else did one? Holler so I can read your pretty comics and add your links!

Sketchbook stuff (and my portfolio website)

I finally got around to building my portfolio website. Still working out some of the kinks but it's online now! My latest storyboard sample can be found in the sequential section. Huge thanks to Chris for helping me get this set up.

I also scanned a few more sketchbook doodles and played with some of them in Photoshop.

These are some folks I saw in and around It's a Grind:




And these are some quick brush pen memory-sketches of a guy I saw while at a friend's b-day celebration at Red Lion Tavern. The room we were in was crowded to capacity (because Jeremy is so darn popular) and most people were busy eating/drinking/chatting. Everyone was sitting down except for this lone tall guy in a brown Hawaiian shirt who stood in the corner, slowly eating his food while glowering at the rest of us. He sometimes paused to read aloud from the book he brought, but he mostly just did this:


I wasn't scared of him...

I swear....

Sketches

I sometimes go to a local coffee shop to work. Here are some sketchbook drawings of the patrons that I scanned.

Burly suspenders man:

Old dude who always wears a leather jacket:

A Chinese lady walking her pomeranian:

I often see people completely engrossed in texting:


I saw this kid run by one day. He was clutching a huge bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

Girl with cowboy boots:


The Red Cougar:

I saw this lady today and had to grab my sketchbook and draw her. She had to be in her late forties/early fifties, but that didn't stop her from dressing like this. Every time she walked around the room she sashayed her hips and she posed seductively even while waiting in line for the bathroom.
