late night doodle- snooty victorian lady

recent sketches

haven't posted in a while, so I scanned a few decent drawings from my sketchbook, including the doodle from the day I was mad at InDesign. To be fair, i think it had more to do with the server than anything else, but it was still a bitch to have the software shutdown every 15 minutes or so.

10th Worldwide Sketchcrawl

Yesterday was the 10th Worldwide Sketchcrawl. We met at Bryant Park, and just lazily moved spot to spot to draw and paint.

After dinner we went to Lincoln Center to draw the dancers at Midsummer Night Swing. It was incredibly crowded and impossible to see the dance floor, but people on the sidewalk were dancing too.

There was a wierd crazy guy with white bushy hair and mustache, and bright red pants dancing by himself.
It wasn't the first time we've seen him either. He was tango dancing at the South Street Seaport a couple weeks ago, too.

We ended at the Columbus Circle Starbucks.
Nelson and I were the last to leave...Our sketchcrawl ended at midnight.

Sketching at the Museum of Natural History

Today Alisa, Christi, Meaghan and I went to the American Museum of Natural History to draw. It was air conditioned. I like air conditioning.

We bypassed the dead animals of North America, Africa, etc... and headed to the Hall of Biodiversity. It has dead animals too, including a gross gargantuan pickled lobster, but it's much more interesting than the other animal rooms.

Here's my Page O' Diversity:


Then we looked at american indians in cases...and then made our way to the pacific islanders room, where there were no fake people in cases, just cool artifacts.

the race

This is my fathers day present for my dad...he hasn't gotten it yet, but i wanted to post it on my blog. its sorta an illustration of a stupid joke he used to tell all the time.

It's the end of a big race, and the announcer says, "The Lettuce is ahead, the Tomato is trying to catch up, and the Toilet Paper is wiping up the rear!"
