Recently, after showing my wife one of my strange little drawings (not this one), she said “Don’t you ever want to draw something beautiful?” 

Assuming they’re not all vegetarians, and assuming they can’t really cook much under water, then I think mermaids, just like the rest of us, probably just snack on whatever floats by.

These are some illustrations I did recently for a math book for HoughtonMifflin.

I’ve been trying to follow the flow of where my sketching direction seems to be going. The line quality actually reminds me a little of early Charles Shultz. While I think the well was running dry the last few decades, I still absolutely love early Peanuts. Great stuff.

I’m still playing around with this new doodling direction. Sometimes I wonder if I am too scattered with my art work. I love to play around and try new techniques (which computer graphics is so great at facilitating). But then I look at my work and think, man, you are one inconsistent dude. Will I ever get really good at one style? But then, on the other hand, my drawing ability is quite limited. I can’t draw in perspective, I can’t draw the human figure to save my life, etc. Wow, the best of both worlds. Scattered and narrow. Great.

This was done for the last Drawergeeks assignment which was Sgt. Rock. I have no idea what I was thinking here, it just sort of happened.

Some recent sketches, playing around with a newish direction in worried characters.

I did a bunch of character designs and a couple illustrations for Pantelope.com, and since none of them got used (at least not yet anyways) I thought I should put them here for the general edification of humanity.

Just a sharpie doodle from a meeting a few days ago.
