For childhood pal David Sharpe. He was an Iron Man fan (Bob Layton era). I was more for Black Panther and Captain America. But who can resist a little T'Challa love?

The amazing Bobbo!

Doodles on my blotter.

For Blair's Aunt. Had to use a little white-out to try and bring the big guy to the left's eye back. He was supposed to be my version of a Victor Mature-style "hunk."

The internets: "Y'now, if you're not gonna update every day, why bother updating at all??"

Gulp.

Here's the study for Blair and Carole. This is a lot better than the final, but, y'know, pencil underdrawing...(can't have that in a real brushpen sketch!)

Blair's dissertation advisers got a book! If you look at Bob's eyes, they can be read as both looking at the statue (small and concentrated), or looking at me (big and skeptical). Do you see it? It's an optical illusion!

A different kind of brushpen piece.

More Brushpen Breakfast The Book sketches...this one for the estimable Jeff Ranjo. A Giant Robot citation, and a Pacific Rim teaser.

Ellis!

A drawing for Beata's bro Peter. He's a big Disney fan--and I'm a big Blaine Gibson fan (the guy who sculpted so many of the Disneyland audio-animatronic figures).

For my sister-in-law. The nieces (and nephew)!

My buddy Bry got a flat tire today on his way to work...at 4 a.m.

Beata's Brushpen Breakfast drawing. She loves the Magyar Stomp!

Did I show y'all the marker drawing I did for the Family Schmitz?

I've been beaver-busy making drawings--either commissioned ones like the above, or brushpen dedicatory sketches for each Brushpen Breakfast book I sell (and they have been selling--thank you!). But I have trouble managing the timing for the blog--I finish a drawing, scan it, and send it off to its new home--but I don't want to post it until the recipient gets a first look. So images like this one linger unseen while my backlog grows...until I remember to post them, that is.

p.s. I have lost all ability to draw myself.

My man Carlo bought a copy of BPB at House of Secrets, (Burbank's finest comics establishment)...

...and duly found himself (and baby Sofia!) subject of a dedicatory drawing!
