Quick experiment with watercolor pencils. I think it actually looked better before I did the wash over it.

This could probably be considered a decent drawing of a hamburger if you try to forget about what a real hamburger looks like.
Back Octoberish, at the Gargoyle Centennial weekend, my pal Adrian Choy was passing around a piece of bristol to the artists in the room, getting us to pencil in some characters. Besides me, Cathy Fisher and a few other folks did some, too.
I drew exactly four characters, all of whom should be terribly obvious to anyone who's browsed the gallery here.

Adrian did a beautiful job with the inking and coloring, as usual. Apparently this is the back cover to the latest issue of the Gargoyle, too!

A friend's cat has an important business to run.
You may not be aware, but Neil Gaiman recently had a fairly public ordeal involving his little cat Zoe, who had cancer. He had her put down on Monday. I follow the gentleman on Twitter and read his blog because he's an author whom I like, and the whole sad affair with Zoe resonated with me profoundly. I have been in the same place so many more times than I ever wanted to be.
So I drew this on the back of a postcard and sent my consolations to him. Because it felt like the right thing to do, even though I don't know him. I'm not sure if it's creepy or if it's weird, but I thought the drawing might convey the kind of understanding that words can't. So off it went.
I meant to finish this last year for a friend who was studying abroad in Australia, but it just never got done for some reason. But now here it is! Platypuses may be adorable, but they are poisonous, like every other animal in Australia.

So I went through a spat where I was creating themed Facebook pictures for some of my Garg friends again. This time: Where the Wild Things Are.
Here are the drawings:
"Puppy Puppy turns toward you, cocks his head and yaps excitedly. The room begins shimmering and disappearing around you, until there is nothing left except you and Puppy Puppy in the great empty void."
Scene from simulated interactive fiction via Google Wave (parse that for a minute, think of what those words mean). Puppy Puppy the Adorable Dog is my favorite fictional deity.
