Truck cab

Anyone in the business world knows that sometimes, it's really hard to stay focused during those long, boring meetings. Personally I've all but given up trying to stay focused, so I do sketches at all meetings now. Strangely, it actually helps pay attention... perhaps merely by virtue of the fact that sketching keeps me awake? I'm not sure.

This is the cab to some sort of truck I sketched awhile back. Never did get a chance to finish it though, as the meeting that spawned it was mercifully short.

Click on it for a larger version, which is something new I'm going to be doing from now on. Also do note the quality, blue lined paper this was drawn on. Yay, office.

The answers

To the few of people who've emailed me with questions;
  1. Yes, that last drawing didn't scan so well for some reason... I may rescan it sometime.
  2. Yes, I've got several more drawings to put up here, should be over the next few days.
  3. Yes, I'm planning on putting some stuff together for desktop wallpaper.
  4. Yes, I do illustrations in various media aside from ballpoint pen.
  5. Yes, I take requests at least for the time being.

That is all.

Nothing to do

Nothing to do. Nothing at all, and this guy is bored and slightly cranky about it. Somehow I think he's a used car salesman just waiting for 5pm to roll around. Poor bastard.

The Police


Well, I say "the police" but really I'm not so sure this guy is a cop. He's wearing a uniform of some sort, and something that could possibly be a bullet proof vest... beyond that I can't say. Maybe he's a security guard?

He was drawn, as always, with a ballpoint pen in about 15 min or so.

The old lady


I get the distinct impression you wouldn't want to mess with this old lady. Not that you're the sort of person to mess with old ladies anyway, but still.

Done with a standard ballpoint pen in about 15 minutes while watching the news a few days ago.

Ball hat


I sat down with my sketch pad this past weekend and decided to draw for one hour, with no direction or particular subject in mind. Sixty minutes later I had this guy.

Smile, it's Dago


Dago is a guy who exists solely on the internet... as far as I'm concerned anyway. He frequents a message board I read regularly and though I have no clue what he actually looks like, this is how he looks in my head.
