Get Prepared for Some Weirdness

Here's a thing; I had a kooky idea for a collaborative project for the Militant Illustrators' Association, which is now underway. It goes like this. I asked everyone if they wanted to take part in a pass-around comic kind of thing, and assembled a list of 13 participants. I doubled that number, and now we have the number of pages: 26. So, I did pages 1 and 26, and sent it along. Laura Vaughn, who I tagged to go next, will do pages 2 and 25, tag someone else, and so on until the middle. Crazy, right?

This is an ink drawing done for my good friend Sarah for her birthday:



















She asked for something involving koalas, and so: a koala who has no idea where he is or how got there. Mission accoplished! Happy birthday, Sarah!

And Finally

Some weird things I drew on construction paper when my other work was causing me to become completely nuts:























































Hey, primary colors, how are you?

Round two!

These are just some more complete doodles, fresh from my sketchbook:


































































































There, now! That wasn't so bad.

Now, to beef up this blog with a ton of new things(!):

First, some of my favorite sketches for a book I'm illustrating for my brother:
