I love me some Muppets.

The Truth About Scarecrows....

Scarecrows aren't trying to be scary. The name "scarecrow" is a label given them by crows to garner public sentiment for themselves (and more corn). Scarecrows aren't even trying to scare crows. They're just hanging out in the field, arms outstretched, waiting for someone to give them a big hug.

Happy Halloween!

Baby's First Crime Scene

My son Quinn recently started crawling, and he is instantly all over the place. After reading Hergé's TinTin for the first time (love it), I'm getting visions of Quinn going to faraway lands hunting down ancient treasure while narrowly escaping the bad guys.

I mean, he's crawling, right? Practically there!

So I whipped this up for the Fishmen in Tophats blog (I'm guessing it's pronounced "top-hats" and not "toe-fats") .

Are you following us yet?

It's O-fish-al

So for a long time my favorite blog has been Fishmen in Top Hats, featuring the doodle-a-day talents of Scott and Jeff.  The premise is basically to post just about every day, keep things fun and creative and just have a good ol' time.

Well I'm lucky enough to be a part of that now! Wahoo! Hopefully I can keep up. (Also joining me in the rookie ranks are Jonny and Joey.)

This is my first post there.

Head on over there and give us a follow!



Now.



No, really, I mean it.



Do it.



Why are you still here?

White Board Doodles

Recently I've re-discovered the joy of drawing on white boards. It might even be my medium of choice. I might just have to put together a sketchbook whose pages are actual white boards...

Target Practice

This is my maiden voyage with the Avalanche Software Art Blog! I'm way stoked about this-- that blog has always inspired me, and now to be able to contribute (somewhat) to it is awesome.

Recent Random Happenings Presented in Sketchbook Form

My daughter just turned two just a few days ago (hopefully the terrible two's aren't quite this bad).

...
My wife hails from central Utah, where they have a Scandanavian festival every year. You meet lots of interesting folks there. Whether or not you draw them well is another story.

...
I just started my internship at Avalanche (Disney Interactive), and I must say I'm absolutely loving it. I've learned so much there already in such a short time. One of the fun parts is sketching people on the train/bus.

...
I said this today:

Looking for someone to sketch?

Look no further than your local baby! Sketching babies is better than sketching adults for the following reasons:

• They are cuter (provided you've passed the two-month mark and the newborn "old-man" look is gone).
• They don't charge modeling fees.
• You don't creep them out by staring at them intently for 2-5 minutes at a time.
• They don't move around much (especially if you swaddle them really tightly with a velcro blanket).
