A little lunch break doodle. What kind of soap do I use to wash the Barneys off of me?

Clear Eyes Is Awesome

Jeannette — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 02:36:00 +0000

I was born in the 80's. I've watched too much TV.

Anyway, I was very surprised and delighted to see that my topic was chosen for Illustration Friday this week. Too bad the word I submitted was Clear. For the last few weeks IF has had themes that related to translucency (Ghost, Wind, and Smoke), so as a sort of joke I entered a bunch of topics that mean clear. Like crystal, translucent, see-through and limpid (yeah, I used a thesaurus).

Couldn't Penelope have picked my word when it was Peas? Oh well! My website hits are way up, and I got to draw my first portrait of Ben Stein! Here's a link to one of the Clear Eyes commercials, via YouTube.com.

Liz and I enjoyed some Mexican food in Vermont. Taking a break from the long, snowy, car ride home.

Smoke

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "smoke." I figured I'd post this one from my portfolio. This image is also available as a postcard in my shop.

This was my day, today. Click to view whole comic.

And let's all sing Happy Birthday to Kurt Vonnegut, today.

New Sketchbook

Jeannette — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 06:52:00 +0000

This is the cover to my awesome new sketchbook. I'm so lucky I found one with a picture of Jonathan De Luca customized onto it. I hope many nice illo's come from this appendage. And I'd like to dedicate all the future fruits my sketchbook bears to the cashier at the art store. We know you nibbled on that eraser.

And, yes, I know, if I had puffy paint this would be a whole lot better.

Dylan Smoking

Jeannette — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 05:29:00 +0000

I am between sketchbooks right now, but I found a corner near the front to do a quick sketch of Bob Dylan. Done with pencil, Micron 005 pen, and a Prismacolor marker. About 3"x4".
