Life Drawing-ing-ing

Spain & Morocco

I've slowed down on the blog posts recently, partially due to my computer dying, but mostly because I've been working on serializing my brand new graphic novel 'Spain & Morocco'.
It's the story of two disgruntled guys traveling abroad, and the parade of follies that comes with such a journey.

You will get one page a week, for free of course... And I will keep posting on this blog, too.

Sketches for the jobless

In honor of May Day, worker's day, I am posting sketches about the pitfalls of searching for employment. And in this current ______ _______, we all know how difficult it can be to stay optimistic.

These were done at Dr. Sketchy in Montreal. Apparently, they have branches all around the world. Fun place to do live-model drawing.

Sweep it Under the Rug

This is a commissioned strip I did, with only the title as inspiration. Everything else, the raccoon, the bunk bed, Bart, was all my recipe.

And hey, thanks to The Ephemerist, a really great site to blow time, for featuring me today.

Sketch

Absent-minded penciling over unfinished sketch done on bus. I just like the feel of a sharp pencil on smooth paper. Realxing...

Sketch (knitting)

The sketches you see here are from a sketchbook that mysteriously dissapeared from my life a few days ago. I did not leave it anywhere (because I haven't really been anywhere for about a week), and I searched my place high and low (I can understand losing a business card, but a 4x6 inch sketchbook?), so either I threw it out my window while sleepwalking, or somebody stole it from me, both of which are unlikely. I just wish I knew the answer. It's mighty frustrating to scour every inch of your home, looking under the sofa, behind the litter box, through the stupid bathroom magazine rack, cursing up a storm, mentally rounding up suspects who could've stolen your goddamn sketchbook (the landlord? of course! he has the key!), while knowing that it just has to be somewhere.

Art Sale

The AIIQ, an illustrator's association I belong to, is having a big sale of original art here in Montreal. The opening is this Thursday, December 11th from 5pm to 9pm. 372 St-Catherine, suite #123 (BELGO Building), Metro Place-Des-Arts. Good X-Mas Gifts!

Business Cards

Samples of handmade business cards I did for myself. Last time I had cards, I gave out about 2% of them. Better to make a small amount this time around. Also, I figure the reciever is less likely to throw away a card if it's "unique".

Sketch (library cruising)

I sketched this at the library. The guy on the right kept trying to start conversations with the girl on the left. She was polite. She would listen to whatever he was talking about, then put her headphones back on. After a while, he got up, walked away and came back a moment later, looking pretty nervous. He stood beside the girl, pointed towards the exit and mentionned that he was leaving. She looked back down at her book and quickly shook her head like she was trying to shake a fly away. Can't blame a guy for trying, but from the look on his face, he won't be trying anything again soon.
