Here’s what happens when things go wrong. This is a sketch of my grandmother and I, circa October 1974. Except I completely messed up the faces, which looked blobby and clown-like. I colored it anyway (for the practice), then got mad and scribbled out the clown faces with a heavy pen. And when I was done, I looked at it and thought, “Damn, that is some mighty disturbing work!” So I decided to post it anyway, even though it’s technically ruined.

This is a semi-unfinished sketch of Luke, who is my aunt’s godson’s son. I think that makes him my… um… cousin…?

This is one of my top five favorite works I’ve ever produced.

This entry covers the vivid yellow which also came with the set of markers I bought last week. It’s a bright, poke-in-the-eye sort of yellow. I screwed around on the paper without coming up with any good ideas for it. I tried it as a dandelion and as part of an imaginary stained glass window, to no avail. Then as I was driving home, I saw the exact shade of yellow, and it looked perfect. This is a giant stucco tower advertising the University Village QFC, lit up at dusk.
