Just some quick doodles with blue and 4B pencil. I did a few loose character sketches and then noticed some slight similarities to living persons. Pete Townshend? Kerry? Bush? Also included: a quick sketch of my drawing hand. Just out of frame are thumbs for the ongoing indie animated feature I am storyboarding.
I spotted this guy at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday and had to sketch him. There was so much more there that I didn’t capture. He was like a living cartoon. Perhaps a relative of Einstein. His face seemed to be frozen into an expression brought about by years and years of newspaper reading. It did seem like a nice routine, though. A relaxing sunny afternoon in the open air, with a newspaper and a glass of wine. Not bad.
I sketched him with mechanical pencil on Sunday and went back over it with a couple brush pens late on Monday, adding the background in from memory.

I figured I’d start off the new Art & Story Blog with a little self portrait, introducing myself and my blog to the world or as I call it, “the blorld.” This was sketched this morning based on memory and also based on the way I felt after staying up all night obsessing over my blog. I look forward to making this a place to channel some creative juices. If you are reaching this post from sometime in the future and have come to the end of the reverse-chronological line, I thank you for taking the time to look at my future-past posts.
