A day at the lake house

2007-08-14T06:18:00.000-07:00

I spent an afternoon down at my friend's lake house in Kentucky, catching up with a few longtime friends and meeting a few new ones. As it was rather hot and everyone else was tired from the previous day's activities, we opted to sit around, which isn't much of a problem for me as long as I have drawing implements.

Dub Therapy

Two straight days of the mercury hitting at least 100F is getting to me. A whole lot of sitting inside with the shades drawn and the AC units on full blast, waiting for the sun to go down. I've found myself listening to a lot of instrumental dub lately to beat the heat, so I thought I'd do a quick portrait of the genre's godfather, Lee "Scratch" Perry.

i've been slipping into mid-afternoon siesta mode lately with the summer heat in full blast. i guess that is my best excuse for why i haven't posted anything to here for a while. here are a few new drawings.

Fourth of July

2007-07-09T22:16:00.000-07:00

One of a few sketches that didn't look terrible after a few glasses of vinho verde at a Fourth of July party at a friend's house down in Charles City. Although I aspire to be one of those people who are constantly drawing while they are talking, eating, sleeping, etc., I always end up throwing in the towel at parties because I don't want to be the creepy quiet guy in the corner drawing pictures of everyone. And sometimes I still end up as the creepy quiet guy in the corner drawing pictures of everyone.

Hanging with the family

2007-07-09T22:07:00.000-07:00

I went up to Wintergreen last weekend to hang out with family at a cabin they've rented. I'd never been there before, and I was pleasantly surprised. Nice and cool for July, and quite beautiful. Here are a few drawings I did while everyone was sitting around watching something or another on TV.

Greetings!

This is the drawing blog where I dispose of all of my bad drawings. And now with the help of the internet, you can now see them too.

I have just recently finished scanning drawings from my trip to Russia back in May. Here are a few to get the ball rolling. My photographs from the trip are up on Flickr, too.
