This page from my sketchbook is a long time coming. The character was inspired from a stint I spent filing at a previous job. After about 3 weeks, I felt like my own head had turned into the very same label maker I was using so diligently to organize an entire room’s worth of documents. I started drawing this poster in memory of what I called File-a-palooza, but never finished it. I probably had some banner ads to design, or something.

Peanut Butter Pattern
I especially like this page from my sketchbook, part of my participation in The Sketchbook Project. I remember as a kid my mom always bought Adam’s peanut butter and I just wanted JIF, because you didn’t have to stir it. Now, I feel the opposite.

Stick ‘Em Up
(Click image to zoom) Here’s another spread from my sketchbook, some smoky shady type from an embroidered gun. Yeah, I imagine someone shouting “Granny, get your gun!” and then an 80-year-old lady whips out her crochet hooks and makes this.

Campfire Smell
One thing that sticks is campfire smell. Isn’t it great? Here’s another page from my sketchbook, part of my submission to the Sketchbook Project organized by Art House Coop. The type was traced from Telephone Gothic.

Year of the Rabbit Video
I think my pioneer rabbit would be proud of his brethren. This cute short animation was created by Benji Davies & Jim Field of Frater Films with sound design by Zhe Wu and music by Stefan Panczak.
Boys and Girls
(Click image to zoom) The theme of my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project is “adhere to me”. So I titled my book Things that Stick. Variegated hand drawn hair, wooden eyes and fiery words.

That One Song
Another page from my submission to The Sketchbook Project, a community participation based movement that involves taking thousands of sketchbooks on a book tour. Yeah, I’m a groupie. Are you?

Dreams
(Click image to zoom) Here is one of my favorite pages from my Sketchbook Project submission. Hoo boy, after drawing all those circles I had to put my hand in traction and drink some tonic. The two paper circles are from various stock books.
