Lake Merritt sketches

I did some sketching by the side of Lake Merritt after grabbing pho with some friends. I know Oakland can get a bad rap, but the stretch down Lakeshore is just beautiful. Real, everyday settings have become fascinating to me, and stuff like The Wire really shows me how powerful the authentic and ‘mundane’ can be for storytelling.

More caricatures and World Cup sketching (people seem to ask, so this is from the Ghana v. Uruguay game). I find drawing action to be insanely difficult and I have the highest respect for the animators and other artists who do it well. Luckily I have Walt Stanchfield as a guide.
