Wednesday, 6am, far from home... no coffee. This could be... bad.

our trip back home. We got stopped by the ever astute overland protection agency due to some travel sized toothpaste being not in a stapled plastic 1 quart sized bag. It was only in a Pint sized plastic bag. The fellow on the upper left was allowed with no checks to his person. (in truth, there was nobody with a hook for a hand and a bleeding bowling bag trying to enter security. But the drawing was fun, so I had to concoct a story to fit it in.)
The individuals sitting across the aisle from me on the flights back home. Very nice people. The whole trip, everyone we met was genuinely nice, and friendly. It is good to be stay in the mid west. It is good for me.

My trip mates, Reuben and Chuck. They made the time away from home easy. We laughed, worked, and I learned. What more can I ask?

I hadn't submitted anything from my sketchbook for quite a while. No reason other than I have been preoccupied. I got a beautiful gift from my lovely wife. A book of Burt Silverman's figure drawings. It is just stunning. As stunning as my wife is. So I have been playing with sketching around when I can.

DrawerGeeks: Snow White.
It is done. The first DrawerGeek submission for the new year. I set out to do this digitally, but fear set in. So I got some colored card stock, put on my fuzzy bunny slippers, and put a whoopin' on the evil Queen.

Joker:

Don't know why I have this thing for smiley men with pointy teeth and pancake make-up right now. Must be a phase I'm going through... and I never forget a phase.

Don't know where or why, just glad it came out and onto the paper. Now it no longer lurks in the imagination. It has a face. It has been dealt with... I don't know why I write that stuff. I had a bad lunch (no good cookies) and just started scribbling. Sheesh. Got a cool start a the sketch for Mr. Sunshine here.
