Didn’t really feel like drawing today.  Felt more like having a beer or two.  I ended up doing both, but it wasn’t hard to guess what  was going to work its way into the sketch…

Went over to my cousins’ place tonight to watch the USC/Oregon game — the outcome of which does not need to be discussed here. Â Suffice it to say, we had some excellent enchiladas, and that’s all that matters.
(Full credit: this sketch is based on a photo found here.)

My mind was stuck in a different era today, after Fish Hunter Phil sent me a link to this fascinating story from a century ago.  Seriously, if you have a little time, go listen to that story — it’s quite a piece of work.

This was inspired by today’s visit to  the dentist, where I was subjected to a full suite of scheduled irradiation.  These dental x-rays have such excellent names.  Which got me thinking: “Panorex Bitewing” would be a pretty great name for a spaceship commander.  You’re welcome, struggling sci-fi writers!

Just wanted to do a quick figure study this evening, since I hadn’t done one in a long time. Â So I headed to Flickr and found this amazing photo by user Ryan Muir. Â I just scribbled a quick and basic figure study, but seriously, check out the original photo — it’s incredible.
Oh, and as for my sketch title, it’s just a little inversion based on the following discovery: I learned that the guy in the photo (the guitarist for The Roots) goes by the excellent name “Cap’n Kirk Douglas.” Â His definitely has a better ring to it.

This is also a response to my wife’s little drawing challenge over at The Give Way. The very specific commission: an elephant eating cotton candy.
I also figured that after the past three day’s sketches featuring venomous creatures, tongues of fire, and vein-bulgingly hypermasculine posturing, I figured it was time to swing to the other side and go overboard cutesy.

This is the last thing that bee saw this morning before I tore him to pieces with my bare neck. Â Oh sure, Bee — you got a little sting in there, but you are now most unarguably dead, AND I EMERGE THE VICTOR!!
Next time try picking on someone your own size.

We’re getting dangerously close to that little period of the year where Southern California gets a bit of rain and cooler weather. Â Better make hay while the sun shines. Â Or at least BBQ chicken.

I was reading about scorpions today. Â Sort of. Â So I figured I’d try drawing one. Â Then I tried a couple more. Â Then it seemed like I might as well fill the sketchbook page. Â You’re welcome, readers who find scorpions creepy!

Always a party when these two show up.
