Coming Undone With a Nameless One…

By in horses, sketches

That’s just a (possibly misheard) song lyric from Wendy James, that I thought would make a neat title. Otherwise, these are new sketches, from my recent trip to Calgary to visit my Dad, who passed away. This and the other two below are from the Toronto Pearson Airport. Little horse, drawn on the plane: Server […]

Catching Up

By in sketches, women

I’m blaming terrible personal stuff, which I may or may not write about, for the lack of blogging. But I’m still drawing things. So, I thought I’d throw some more up here, and try to do that daily. These are all from my mini-sketchbook. It’s hardbound, and about 3×5 inches. I like it. Sometimes it’s […]

Angry Old Farts

By in cats, men, sketches

This is sort of an angry Peter Mansbridge. But I was really just practicing my shading and crosshatching chops on an old pencil sketch. Below, two old outer space farts, from the Dark Side of the Force: Last, my portrait of Cat Boy. At age 13, he’s sort of an old fart of the cat […]

Cirque in Space!

By in watercolour

Here’s my idea of what it would look like if Cirque du Soleil made it into outer space.

More Faces

By in horses, sketches, watercolour

Feeling like I’m getting better at it. Actually, I just enjoy doing these. Meanwhile, I’m watching a cheap supermarket DVD of the silent film “Nosferatu.” The picture quality is terrible, but every frame is a perfect image.

Car Free Day

By in cats, montreal, sketches

Slide show of pictures is below. Click on one for information, or visit the flickr site to see the names of people, credits, etc. Remember, […]

Car-Free Day and Animules

By in cats, dogs, montreal, sketches

Today I’m going to be cartooning at the Eaton Centre in Downtown Montreal, part of the events surrounding Car Free Day in that part of the city. Please visit, if you can make it! Meantime, I bought a new little sketchbook (only 4″x6″), and drew a bunch of things. Mainly animal-related.

Sunday’s Drawings: With a Brush and All

By in sketches

The first one worked out pretty well. Kind of Frank Miller-ish, except it’s a non Frank Miller subject. Will work on making blog posts more exciting. But at least they’re quick to do! New Wave kid. The above and top are more or less inspired by the film Control, about the lead singer of Joy […]

Mostly based around movies, etc. I’m making you guess.

Whatever’s In My Head

By in sketches

Feel like I should be more directed in these things. Like just not drawing only whatever pops into my head. Mind you, it’s a kind of therapy, and relaxation. I’m not doing it for a goal. Above is a scene from an air race in the golden age of such things, the 1930s. Below, a […]
