So I haven’t posted this week yet. Work has been busy. Plus, I played hooky yesterday with the Anthem Magazine crew and went snowboarding up at Snow Summit. Anyway, if you live in the LA/OC area and listen to KCRW on 89.9 (or on the web at kcrw.com), then you should subscribe to Public Radio. Call: 800-600-5279 to make a pledge. This is an amazing radio station. They have shows for music (from indierock to electronica and dance, as well as classical stuff I think), news, arts & culture, plus they broadcast This American Life (Ira Glass’ show) on the weekends. You can podcast all their shows too. Really, you should donate. If you do, you get a membership card that gives you money off at bookstores, restaurants, and hundreds of other stores all over LA/OC.

Saturday, January 26th, 2008Daily Sketch: WED 01.23.08 “Lynch’s Hair”
Thursday, January 24th, 2008
So, I was going to draw a picture of David Sedaris since I saw him last weekend, but to be honest, he doesn’t have a very distinct look. His appearance is very much that of an everyman. In fact, when he took our tickets at the door of the theatre, I at first didn’t recognize him. Broek had to point out that it was him. Of course, when he spoke, his identity was unmistakable. He was going to go to Amoeba Records in Hollywood, and was wondering if anyone knew how to get there by bus from downtown, because he doesn’t drive. Anyway, part 2 of the “Day of David” was David Lynch’s documentary, so here’s a quick drawing of Mr. Lynch. He has fantastic hair.
New Painting – TUE 01.22.08
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
This is a painting I did yesterday and today. I might ad to it a bit more, but I like the simplicity of it. Besides, since I was working on this today, I don’t have a daily sketch to post up. So this will have to do. Also, I went to the art store today and got two 48×36 canvases and some other art supplies, so I can start on a new big painting.
“No Internet” Monday 01.21.08
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008
So when I got into the studio today, my internet was down. It remained down all day, so I couldn’t post a new drawing. So Sorry. Right now, I’m at home on my laptop, and I don’t have a scanner here, so I can’t post a new drawing tonight either. Lest you think I am slacking-off on my “daily sketch” pledge, I can assure you that I spent several hours today working on new paintings, which are much more important than sketches, so that kind of makes up for it. However, that still leaves us with no “daily sketch” today. What I can do, is post a painting I did back in the Y2K, as well as give a little update on this past weekend’s activities. Saturday was devoted to the Davids. We not only saw author/essayist, David Sedaris perform a reading at UCLA, but also caught a showing of the David Lynch documentary (intriguingly entitled, “Lynch”) at LACMA. Mr. Sedaris was kind enough to scan our tickets at the door before taking the stage to share some excerpts from his new work in progress. It was awesome.
Daily Sketch: Fri. 01.18.08 “Welcomed”
Saturday, January 19th, 2008It’s Friday. Gonna’ see David Sedaris this weekend at UCLA. Very excited about that. I saw him last year, also in LA, and was very pleased. David Sedaris has nothing to do with today’s drawing (which is based on an original illustration by Milton Glaser), it’s just something I felt like drawing. Have a good weekend kids.
Daily Sketch: WED 01.17.08 “In The Future”
Friday, January 18th, 2008
So David Byrne is pretty much a badass. He wrote this song in what, 1985? You are my drawing of the day today, Mr. Byrne. Congratulations. Oh, and I know your face is all messed up, but I was really focusing on the big suit. Besides, I couldn’t find a very big picture, so it was a bit hard to see. Maybe I will try a better drawing for you another day.
Daily Sketch: 01.16.08 “We Are Now”
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Daily Sketch: Tuesday 01.15.08 “Dude”
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008
THIS VIDEO is pretty f’ing funny. Yes it’s scary that this is how teenagers of the world talk/act, but i just can’t get over the gall of the newscaster. I also can’t believe this is an actual newscast. I’d be like, “Hey, who do you think you are lady? You’re not my fucking mom!…you’re not the boss of me!” That’d learn her.
