And so ends another sketchbook. Plenty more where that came from.

A Post in Need of a Title Fails to Receive One Because the Writer Hasn’t Had Enough Coffee
The post also fails to have written content for much the same reason.
Designing George, Part 17
A third sketch of George for the same illustration. Now that George’s design is established I don’t have to worry about what he looks like I just have to find the best way of presenting what he’s doing. I start by giving the client 3 sketches. The client then usually plays a little mix and match with different aspects from each sketch and I do a second draft combining those aspects.
Designing George, Part 16
The client asked for another George; this time sitting down with a road sign. These are the first two sketches I worked up from those instructions.
Who Let These People In Here?
Here we have a page without celebrities, just poor random unnamed characters that were given form on the page and then forgotten. Until now. Then tomorrow will come, I’ll post another sketch and they will fade again.
Frankensketching
A little Frankenstein monster, a Beastie in the upper left and some vague Milpitas Monster in the background.
Yellow Sign and Others
The symbol at the top of the image is my version of the Yellow Sign used in the Black Seal t-shirt. Then I just used the rest of page to sketch whatever/whoever came to mind. The guy in the hat looks like he should be someone significant but, if so, I’ve now forgotten who he was supposed to be.
Mor(e)lock
Another sketch of a morlock. And supporting cast. Of sorts.
Yellow Sign
I did an illustration of the King in Yellow as a t-shirt for The Black Seal. And what’s the King without the Yellow Sign? The thing is, the Yellow Sign as commonly seen was designed by Kevin Ross for Chaosium and is copyrighted. So I designed a new sign. These six drawings here are the choices I sent my editor.
Nizzitoon
Nizzibet doesn’t like to have her photo taken. She needed a picture for some promotional material for a client so she asked me to cartoon her. This is the base art. I added more color and highlights in Photoshop. I’m not sure where the final version is.
