Remember when I mentioned the potential downtime a couple weeks back? Well, it’s happening. Just so I’ve got some sort of content updating, I’ve decided to post some stuff from my sketchbook. Lemme give you a little background: David Sedaris is a really funny writer. I saw him do a reading a few years ago […]
Grandpa Sex Machine is on temporary hiatus until things calm down at work. In the mean time, here’s another look at my sketchbook. So, the SantaLand Diaries, available in stage form or as a short story in Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, tells of David Sedaris‘ own experience working as a Christmas elf at […]
Last week of school, so that means a few more days of sketches before the Sin Police and Grandpa Sex Machine start up again. Crumpet, the reluctant Christmas Elf from David Sedaris’s The SantaLand Diaries, had a lot to say about his fellow employees, including the Walrus (the self-proclaimed stud), Flakey (the “artist” that covered […]
More SantaLand Diaries sketches today and Friday, then hopefully back to the real stuff next week. Before Crumpet got his elf job, he pitied the poor souls forced to walk the streets in costume, handing out pamphlets. During the interview process, when asked about his hobbies, he expressed an interest in whittling, in spite of […]
I’ve got more, but this has drug on long enough. Shooting for a Sin Police update on Monday. In the SantaLand Diaries, David Sedaris mentions the parents that insist on their children seeing a Santa of some specific ethnicity. Thus, we have Klanta Klaus, making sure your holidays are merry and bright white. He also […]
Well, the Belleville, Illinois Chapter of the Drink and Draw Social Club had it’s first meeting last night, and my results for the hour and a half I spent there are posted above. In attendance were myself, my mother-in-law Marsha, and Gene, who works in the kitchen at Mosaics on Main (the place that hosted […]
So last night was the second “official” meeting, and was basically a meeting of one. Gene was there but working (there was a small crowd for the jazz band that was playing (good stuff)), Marsha had a previous obligation, and nobody new showed up. I’m feeling a bit pathetic. Anyhow, up above you see what […]
Didn’t make it to the Drink and Draw last night, so just a couple zombie sketches here. The comic I’m submitting to the Comic Book Challenge will feature zombies. And a moose. Speaking of the challenge, the deadline’s been pushed back a couple weeks, so that means I don’t have to rush page 3 of […]
Didn’t get a chance to go to the drink and draw last night either–next week I think I’ll be able to get back at it. Up top you see more junk from my sketchbook–fairly old junk at that. First three are a few coffee-swillin’ guys that I spotted at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival […]
Like I mentioned in Wednesday’s blaahg post, the Belleville Drink and Draw Social Club had its big Dr. Sketchy’s style life drawing session. Mimi of St. Louis’ own Alley Cat Revue was the model and was a lot of fun. The pile of scribbling that you see above is representative of only a handful of […]
