Foodie Doodles

Some sketching at restaurants!

I’ve been making it a habit to bring the good ol’ Moleskine whenever I go out. Making these quick sketches combine three favorite activities of mine: people watching, going out to eat, and of course, drawing.

All sketches done with pencil or ballpoint pen and PITT pens; varying from 1 to 15 minutes sketch time.

iPad + Autodesk Sketchbook Pro

I’ve been trying to do more and more sketching on the iPad. I mess around with a few different drawing apps, but nothing really comes close to Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, which I’ve been a fan of for years in its previous iterations.

NYC Sketches

Quick figure studies and sketches for practice.

The sketched out scenes were done in about 1-2 minutes, while the other figure drawings were just a few seconds for each.

First three sketches were done using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for iPad. Last two using ballpoint pen and PITT brush pens.

From the Archives: Spidey Sketches

A few sketches of your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Sidenote: I was inspired to sketch the second and third drawings while I was at the final “Gathering of the Gargoyles” convention (in 2009), which included a lot of the cast and crew from “The Spectacular Spider-Man” animated series!

The first sketch of ol’ webhead was done using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and a Wacom Intuos. The other two are from a sketchbook, pencil, ballpoint pen and PITT pens.

The World’s Finest (well, first) Shelfworthy Shirts!

Recently worked on a Shelfworthy shirt which we will be bringing with us to SXSW 2010. Here are photos of the first printed samples. Yup, we’re doing men’s AND women’s shirts!

Thanks to our friends at Nextdoor Neighbor for printing these puppies!

MoMA: Tim Burton

Recently, I was in NYC and fortunate enough to spare some time to check out the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA. While I was there, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do some sketching (especially since photography was not allowed within the main exhibit).

Bread Buddies


A few years ago, while burning the midnight oil at TEQUILA\, I took a break and came up with these bread icons for instant messaging. I used these little guys to represent the sort of state of mind I was in.

I misplaced the original illustration files, but I have this screencap to reminisce.

Not sure what “Buttered” meant, but I know I did use “BURNT” a lot. A whole lot.
