Sketchbook 28 & Sketchbook 28

When I was in high school, I started keeping a sketchbook. After I had gone through a bunch of them, I started numbering them to keep track. These were all 9 x 12 Strathmore sketchbooks. Then, about five years ago, I wanted to be able to doodle on the go more, so I bought a pocket-size sketchbook. These are great for taking to a coffee shop on my lunch break or just wherever I go. I started numbering these as a second series of sketchbooks.

And then I noticed that I had hit number 28 in both series! Woo! So I obviously go through the mini-sketchbooks a lot faster than the full-size ones, which makes sense.

Here are some selections from both sketchbooks 28:
"Here ya go, kid. Two scoops o' butterscotch. Now scram."
(Alternate caption: "Bill was so depressed, he didn't even notice that his cigarette was melting his ice cream cone. Fluffy felt bad for him")

BOY-YOY-YOING!!!

Time for a refreshing dip in the pool!

Alice in the Land of Wonderful Pangolins

The Team Cul de Sac art auction is now open!

Bid on mine here or Bill Watterson's if you've got the dough! R. Sikoryak's is my favorite Team Cul de Sac is a tribute to cartoonist Richard Thompson and a benefit for Parkinson's research. Richard is definitely my favorite daily cartoonist working today. His lively, imaginative drawings and characters have been an inspiration to me. I hope that he will be able to keep drawing for many years, despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am honored to be a contributor alongside so many amazing artists. There's also a book collecting all the artwork.

Exploring a New World

This was my entry for the poster contest at this past weekend's NESCBWI conference, and I was psyched to get second place in the "Published" category. (Check out Russ Cox's first-place poster. Wow!) I had a great time and met lots of wonderful people. Thanks, everyone!

Check out Casey Girard's Octo-Pus in Boots sketchbook which I doodled in at the conference, alongside an all-star cast!
