Sketchbook people live in a cafe this month

Some of my sketchbook characters decided to spend the month in a wonderful cafe called "Ninas Café Klatsch" here in Hamm, Germany. I took them there last night so they can watch Ninas guests having delicious cupcakes and soups for the next 4 weeks.

Please return my sketchbook!

SMASH AND GRAB... someone broke into my car tonight (the Fremont area of Seattle) and stole my backpack that had volume 10 of my graphic novel art in it! Along with my classic iPod, parking remote for work, brand new noise canceling headphones,... glass all over the interior of the car and I had to drive home on three freeways with no side window at 1am.
If anyone would like to help and put up some of these flyers around the Fremont area of Seattle, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.

Sketches from my trip!

These are sketches that I did while traveling to Colorado and back. I went there to welcome my older brother back from Afghanistan. He had been gone for a year. Much of the family was there. Not everyone but many. We had a good reunion!

Okay, I'm only doing this because Jeff asked so nicely. :) Normally I'd be too self-conscious to share.

I'm learning to sketch. To be honest, I haven't kept a sketchbook/art journal since college, which was nearly 10 years ago. I know, I know. Bad Melissa! Bad Melissa! So I made a vow to fill my journal by the end of 2009. Daily doodles about the mundane aspects of life. Practicing is the first step, right? Eight pages down, 152 to go. Here's yesterday's entry:



I actually drew this on the 6th, but I obviously don't know how to read a calendar.

I recently started a new sketchbook as part of my daily sketch exercise. I am devoting this one exclusively to maps. Some of the maps will be of real places and some will be entirely fictional. Most will not really resemble the places that they represent, but will be extremely accurate.

Above is a map of the flight of a huge beetle that came into my studio the other day. You can see more of my maps and read about this adventure on my blog.

A new Painting!

A blast from the past in a way. I actually finished this painting in March of this year but haven't shown it yet.
This was done from a sketchbook page dating back to July of 2006. Holly and I were at a park in Bellevue on the 4th taking it easy and enjoying the day with a picnic. I brought my sketchbook and she brought a book to read. When I was almost finished with the sketch I asked her what she thought and she said, "Can you put a little white scoty dog in one of the squares?" I did just that and promised her that if I ever made a painting of this that I would include the little white dog. And there it is the lower right corner.

First Moleskine

I've been hearing for a long time about the wonders of the moleskine sketchbook, and you know what? It's all true. This little wonder is the perfect size for toting around and seems to generate endless inspiration. These are my first sketches from my new book. Incidentally, the woman on the right is Amy Poehler from Saturday Night Live.
