I was roughing out a box for a layout concept I was working on, and decided to take a different tack. But I still had the faint beginnings of a box on my paper. I couldn’t very well just leave it there unused, now could I? That would be irresponsible and wasteful.
So I drew a beefy guy struggling to lift the box, which was deceptively heavy considering it was only half-drawn. Boxes are like that sometimes. Especially doodled ones.

I was contacted recently by an Army lieutenant stationed in Iraq. He had seen a previous post by me about squirrels, and asked me if I could modify it a bit for their platoon mascot. Of course, I jumped at the chance! So, here he is…in all his insane glory…the Dirty Squirrel.
Stay safe, guys!

Our local police departments post their latest mug shots online. This provides a great resource for doing face studies. I did this quickie sketch in about 15-20 minutes using red, blue and black Bic ballpoint pens.
