A Cartoon and A Couple of Sketches

Good morning, folks!  I've got an extra special treat for all of you all!  No, it's not more Roman history!  No, it's not a brand new episode of "Creeking More In The ATL (with your host Nate Creekmore)"!!!  Today, dear readers, is Sketchbook Day!!!  That's right, I'm going to leaf through my sketchbooks, scan a couple of doodles, and then post them here for you to look at!

First up, a silly, big-headed tiger!

Now, a couple of dancers!

Now, a lady who has a lot of children around her and on her!

Behold, a fancy building what I drew from a photo in a magazine!

Look!  It's Rai eating some noodles!

And here's a sketchbook page with a tiger on it (and a lady doing yoga)!

I'm going to end this post with a rejected New Yorker cartoon.


I hate The History Channel.

But I love all of you fine people!  Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure and come back next week for more of that Creek Goodness that you've come to rely on in lieu of opiates.

Cheers.

  1. I'm digging the unnamed big red nose and ears guy, that could be a cool look for an entire strip - monochrome characters with only their noses and ears colored...
