How to start your commute off wrong

Sketch of a woman threatening to sue all the commuter traffic

Sketch of a driving woman. The caption says, “I’d like to sue the entire city for reckless driving!”

I just have time for a quick sketch today. You know, there’s that commute I need to barge into the middle of!

I was thinking about two of my coworkers who are now telecommuting instead of facing the drive to and from work each day. That lucky guy and gal get to stay in their homes while the rest of us find out how bad the rest of the county drives. I just hope the woman in the sketch isn’t talking about me as well!

Self portrait, June 19, 2013

It’s been a while since I just drew for no particular reason. I nearly forgot how good it felt to get in the zone and just let the pen do the work. Now that we have cameras in our cell phones and computers, we no longer have an excuse that we couldn’t hold a pose for very long. I just drew from a snapshot my Mac took.

I also wanted to test how to post from a WordPress app.

Beach Oracle

I drew this about twelve years ago at the beach. I wonder now what this boy was thinking as he was staring at the shell and if he ever got his questions answered.

Most adults look at kids and think they have a carefree existence where everything is better than anything an adult could be going through. But as a teacher, I’ve seen experience some tough situations. School and family can be enough to drive anyone crazy, let alone a nine year-old!

Kids need some time to decompress and de-stress too. In the USA, we’re about to enter a holiday weekend. Take some time to relax, and give your kids a chance to do so as well.

Get your sleep, Kids!

Here’s something out of the sketchbook. Yes, you can make a sketch out of nothing. If you see me today, I may look far worse than this doodle. Consider it a fair warning.

Find something today that seems ordinary and put it in your sketchbook or journal. And one more thing: be sure to get your sleep so you won’t look like me!

Whacked-Out Zoo

sketch of strange animals. One is a bird with an oversized tongue. Another is a hippopotamus with wings and an elephant with a snake for a trunk.What do you know? It’s a whacked-out zoo.
With strange, furry animals,
and a hairless gnu.
Beware of flying hippos, and crazy emus,
the monkeys are proper, ’cause they haven’t a clue.
