Because ‘The Halfback of Notre Dame’ was already taken Written on April 21, 2009, by Zack.
HA! Thought I wasn’t going to have anything to post this week, didn’t you? Well I showed you! I got out… something.
It should be noted that the past couple of watercolor pieces were done using a Yasutomo Waterbrush that has a water reservoir built into the handle so you don’t need to carry water with you when you want to do some watercoloring outside.
Pretty cool device if you ask me. Takes a little while to figure out how to use, but really helpful. For more impressive results with the brush, check out Gabi Campanario’s sketch blog. Gabi’s a Seattle Times illustrator who compelled me to pick up a waterbrush during the last Sketchcrawl I went on.
IN OTHER NEWS! WallBlank, purveyors of finely-crafted stuff for your walls, have opened up their vaults this week in celebration of being around one year and are once again selling MY PRINT along with many other quality pieces of art by quality artists (such as Zach Bulick’s awesome awesome prints). If you missed your opportunity to pick up “La Marioneta” last time it was available, consider this a fortunate second chance – there may not be a third (probably there will be, but look, just buy it now, ‘kay?). By the way, the quality is REALLY high on these things, I was totally impressed to see how my print came out; you will not be disappointed!

Keep using the waterbrush. It looks fantastic!
This is my favorite Sketcharoo yet!
This is great. What’s Quasimodo’s partner’s name?
Amber – Thanks, I think I will!
Brian – Thanks, dude! I actually was a bit unsure about it, but it turned out pretty good. I definitely didn’t spend as much time on this one as I did on previous Sketcharoos.
James – Danke! Quasimodo’s partner has no name since I can’t think of any good French puns. Got any ideas?
you are too kind Zack! i merely fill in the space between the lines on my sketches my waterbrush, you seem to be a master of it already, really cool sketcharoo illo! btw, i’m blogging at the seattle times now, check out the new link!
I’m voting for a series on Quasi.
Gabi – Thanks for the kind words! And JEEZ, how many blogs can one guy be a part of! I suppose I should also mention Urban Sketchers, which you (together with many other terrific artists) also blog for: http://www.urbansketchers.com. Keep up the good work!
Veronica – Hmmmm… all I can think of is Quasimodo, the Overly Sensitive Zookeeper who believes comments about camels are directed at him. Or, I guess maybe he could get a job with the Black Eyed Peas. I dunno. I’ll think about it.
May I point out that it’s been a week? Ahem?
I’m rather hypocritical, leaving my blog for months at a time and getting on your case. But I like these!!!
Man, you’re good at this. I love these Sketcharoos. And I love the overly sensitive hunchback.
