Drinking with the Ghost Crew
You know you like your job when you spend your free time making fan art about it. I was drinking and drawing the other night when I had this half baked idea about Sabine brainstorming in her sketchbook. A few hours later and it evolved into this silly painting about my friend Brad Rau having a pint with the Ghost Crew. There is no way anything like this would ever get approved at work but its fun to imagine the Rebels cutting loose at ‘ol Joes bar after a successful mission. Why Brads there, I don’t know but it cracks me up and in my book that’s reason enough. …And to clarify, for all the parents out there, lets just say Ezra is drinking “space root beer”.
Here’s a detail so you can see Sabines doodles.

Shinny drawing night doodle
I went to a drawing party last night. This ink sketch was one of my take away drawings. Someone challenged me to draw a Victorian witch under water and this was the result.

He’s A Drawing Fiend
My son Silas is really getting into his drawings lately. I’m very proud of to see how passionate he is about art. He takes his work very seriously, almost too seriously.
The other day we were in the middle of a long drawing session when it dawned on me that he is a drawing fiend. I drew this little caricature of him. Oh man was he upset. I agreed the drawing was off insisting that the eye color was wrong. This only upset him more. I was trying to coax him into a caricature battle but I don’t think he gets it yet, got to get him to fire back. Can’t wait to see what happens when he starts drawing the family. I’m sure it will be glorious.
me: Hey that Pac-man cartoon is from when I was your age.
son: but how come its in color?
me: …:l

The Red Sketchbook
Lots of interesting drawings in this one. This sketchbook is dated 2006-2007. It documents my move from the US to Canada, the start of my professional career and the final days of my bachelor life. It was the sketchbook I carried while working on Space Chimps, and when I started developing my Dragon project, Wakefield also begins to surface in its pages. This book travelled with me to California, British Columbia, Costa Rica, Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Lots and lot of random drawings in here. Have fun exploring.

Playroom Sketch
Had a little free time today so I sat down and drew this cozy little room in ArtRage. Not sure what it is so i’m going to call it a playroom. Probably too tidy for that… Who knows maybe the kids grew up. I’m over thinking it.
