It’s New Year’s Eve, and it’s time for New Year’s resolutions. I’m going to be stupid and document mine right here.
First week of every month will be sketch week. I’ll post a drawing a day as long as I’m able to get online. If I’m no where near an internet connection, I’ll still sketch and [...]

I just found all the recent links to my site were hotlinks of one my images. Unfortunately, it was of happy cat. Well, no more posting popular internet images. In the meanwhile, we’ve replaced that image with the following images, let’s see if they notice the difference….

The great thing about doing a sketch week is that it forces me to draw and post something. No matter how rough the day, I have to draw something. I might not have done any great works this time around, but at least I’m seven sketches closer.

I just spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out why I’d searched for Indian Railways. Indian music? Sure, [...]

If you think you’re having a bad day, just think of when Teen Titan’s Raven got turned into a bunny.

A blogless friend of mine who majored in Russian, sent me a link to a pretty interesting livejournal by Tebe Interesno. Unfortunately it’s in Russian, so I have no clue what he’s writing about. That’s okay, since he’s pretty prolific with the images.
Funny thing is I check out a number of blogs by foreign laguage [...]

The one complaint I get from my wife? I don’t draw enough guys. So today I sketched a guy. Lifted the pose from a picture of LL Cool J, cause ladies love Cool J. I kept thinking about Joe Madureira (Battle Chasers, X-Men, I’d post a link but the guy doesn’t have an “official” site) [...]
