1. Trees in a forest, a fat woman, a table, a strange creature, a paranoid man in flannel with satellite-dish hat, a pipe-smoking man in cloak & hood, and a couple abstract designs. 2. Simple cartoon people: a blond man in t-shirt, jean & sneakers with a bag; and an elf, or maybe a man or woman with bandana. 3. A smiling woman in a tank top, with dark curly hair, gesturing in front of the door of a building. 4. A folk-dancing punk. 5. A slightly eerie bald man in a vest.

I drew these sketches during the first comics convention I tabled at. Sketcin’ Safari: A man in glasses and shorts using a pencil to surf a wave in the ocean. Yes! Comics!: a bald cartoon man who’s very excited about comics. Breaktime: a mechanical brain with arms & legs jumps out of the head of a man. Monster Eating Child: just what it says (I was hired to do an illustration on the basis of this sketch turning up in a Google search). Lightning Polka: a man in lederhosen & sunglasses shoots lightning from his accordian.

I made these sketches while trying to figure out my previous web menu graphics. We have some hands (one of which I’m quite proud of), some close-up faces (one focused on the eye), a man with long hair, glasses, and a beard (it’s me, but looking like a stoned goth), a cluttered cabinet full of stuff behind the door, and a shady man in a trenchcoat selling comics on the street.
