Mismatched couples

So just a quick cafe sketch, first one from my new home in Venice Beach.

I saw this couple. Okay, granted, love is blind and all that, but the guy seriously looked like he had scabies or a serious meth addiction. Or both. (I realize these things are not mutually exclusive) While she looked like she'd just finished her organic, argula smoothie, after her ashtanga yoga session.

Passive Aggressive Ninjas

You know, the kind of person who sneaks up on you and says something unpleasant, but oblique so you can't respond directly. I've noticed that relatives are generally equipped with more than their fair share of throwing stars.

(This is my first little comic using the "Procreate" iPad app. I really like it!)

The Annoying Unicorn

 

The annoying unicorn is someone you keep around because he or she is objectively and without a doubt, possessed of a rare, brilliant, and valuable talent or skill that you need.
Unfortunately, they are such difficult and unlikeable personalities, that it is actually physically painful when you’re forced to deal with them.
It’s like having a unicorn that destroys your furniture and ruins your rug. You would love to get rid of the beast. But you can’t, because it’s a unicorn!
Hence the dilemma.
Next week I will write about the Disgusting Fairy, and the Farting Mermaid.

 

 

Sketchcrawl Jan, 2012

Sketchcrawl is this.

It's always fun to see other people's take on the same subjects. The first one in SF this year was at the Ferry Market building.

(I did more drawings than these, but this is what I'm marginally happy with- let's just pretend that they were all pure gold, shall we?)
