tale of the humping turtles

So my friend posted this on his facebook and I thought it was too funny not to share with anyone who looks at this page. At first I thought it was someone just making a funny noise until I saw that it was the turtle actually making the noise which made it funnier! Enjoy!


The North American Humping Tortoise - Watch more Funny Videos

stardust cafe, french night

unfortunately there were only a couple of people dressed in french outfits. There were some mimes that showed up later on in the evening, but they were talking so I guess they weren't really mimes! This is a sketch I did while just watching people. I am having more fun drawing and sketching. I'm not to where my friend Thor is, but i hope to be able to fully capture the essence of the place i sketch in or the people sooner or later as he does. I guess you have to start somewhere right? I'm also trying to be looser with my sketching so it has more of an organic flow to it and isn't so solid. I'm hoping that eventually when i have a job i'll be able to get a watercolor kit and be able to paint while i sit there as well; I think it adds a whole new dimension to the drawing and atmosphere of the sketch.

Sketch Crawl Sketches

I participated in the sketchcrawl today that was hosted by my friend Thomas Thorspecken ( http://thorspecken.blogspot.com/) . They began at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando at 7am. I showed up in the middle of the afternoon for the last 2 stops that we would be skething at. The first one for me was the Eola Wine company and the second was a lounge called the stardust. They were both laid back places and it was fun to sketch something that I normally don't do.

This last one was sketched by Thomas Thorspecken and it shows me finishing up my previous sketch at the stardust lounge. If you didn't guess it, i'm in the red shirt.
