Hipsters Aplenty (D)

Just a quick doodle of a jolly li'l hipster I saw leaving my work building last week. I'm not 100% sure he had glasses (but the drawing looked incomplete without them) and I don't actually remember the stripey socks (but they really seemed just the thing).

And, just for fun and because I've been listening to Christmas music for the last couple days, here's one with a small addition:

And now I realize that I've never posted the other seen-in-real-life hipster arts I did, so I now present May 2014:

... and April 2013.

They seem to bloom especially in the spring.  They also all seem to wear skinny and way too short pants.

My first stab at caricature. You better be careful when it's your boss's features you're exaggerating.

Doodz, a.k.a. The Ice Cream Cones (D)

Sometimes on Friday night when I'm looking for something to occupy my time this happens:

Just a bunch of random dudes.  The a.k.a. comes from when J and I were listening to some of her music and she asked me who sang a particular song and I couldn't think of anything, so the only thing that came out of my mouth was The Ice Cream Cones.  We decided to apply the name to this group of fellows.   Maybe they're a big boy band or something?

Wee Little Pen People

This weekend we got a new scanner to replace the technological headache that is our old scanner. I tell you, Internet, that Epson does some beautiful scanning. Plus it scans wirelessly which means I can sit in the living room and direct my indentured servant/husband which pages to put in the scanner for me. In conclusion: Epson, you are mighty indeed and I will never betray you again in the name of getting a bargain.

ANYway, would you believe I haven't posted on here since June? What a sad sorry state of affairs. Luckily Mr. Gra-ham has been keeping up with things better than I have on here. Anyhoodle, one of my goals for this year was to a) draw people with bodies and b) draw people with bodies that move. If you haven't noticed, I tend to do a lot of heads and perhaps a little bit o' shoulder. One evening as I began drawing random heads and shoulders, I did some mental manhandling and switched gears. I did a few that night and some more in the weeks that followed. This is what I have to show for myself:
They are all pretty small, only like an inch or two tall (I made the one large in recognition of her being first), which is nice because they are quick and I don't get caught up giving them detailed faces. ALSO, I drew them all in pen. Not using an eraser is a big deal for me. I love erasers. Anyway.

Unfortunately when it comes to poses, my creative juices have run dry of late but STILL. Progress. Right? Right, Internet??
