Heard over my shoulder as I was finishing this one up over lunch: “Oooo, I’ll take one of those.”

I’ll be honest, the rest of this sketch was a mess. Once I got rid of the rest I really liked what I had left.

Seeing as the Oscars were last night I figured I should start the week off with a pretty dress.

It’s Friday, who isn’t in the mood for a little party time?

I can’t NOT draw dogs. That just wouldn’t be me.

While I definitely goofed in the anatomical department with this sketch I am really happy with most of the parts that went into it. It is just putting all those parts together as a whole that it becomes a bit lacking for me. I like the cat and the chair though. The wife actually wants to see if she can find one like that.

So I showed this sketch to The Wife and her response was, “This. More like this.” So I guess I’m back. I don’t really draw women that often in Hello with Cheese, so why not. The plan is M/W/F and I will hopefully be working from a buffer. We’ll see.

It has been quite a while since I’ve posted anything here. I’ll see if I can pick it up a bit. Getting back into sketching will be good for me.

In between banging my thumb with a hammer and putting together my new closet this weekend I decided to settle down with my buddy Michael Bracco’s Novo books. I love this series and I can’t wait to pick up the latest one (just released). (He allso just did an All-Ages GN called Adam Wreck.)

This sketch isn’t of any of the characters but I can definitely see the influence of his style in it.

Also, he’s a Baltimore boy. So, local economy and all that.

Started keeping a completely non- Hello with Cheese sketchbook today. My coworkers brought it back for me from a paper show. I really have no idea why I started on the cover instead of the first page. It just needed it.
