Drew this left-handed.

Forgot my phone when I went to class last night, and then went out afterwards. For six hours, everytime there was a slight lull, all I wanted to do was check Twitter. Why? There was nothing there I wanted to see. No one clamoring to talk to me, and nothing but depression and awfulness on it. And yet, every 5 minutes, I’d reach into my pocket, only to feel my lonesome keys, upset that I had still forgotten the damn thing and that I was currently out of touch with a world in which no one want me to be a part. Except, I was out. I was with people, with friends, interracting, being social, having a good time. But not a good enough time, because, no phone. It’s like a weird, shitty epiphany that will do absolutely nothing to change my worldview. As soon as I got home, I checked everything. A friend had texted me once. There was nothing new on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, anything. And yet, instead of going to bed like a normal human, I spent the next hour surfing and texting friends, and reading about the garbage fire we call life. Cellular fucking heroin.
737. F*ck Nazis
I’ve had this blank variant for Hail Hydra #1 sitting at my LCS for quite a while, and over the weekend, I thought about it and came up with an idea to draw. This will soon be available on eBay, with any money raised going to the ACLU.
733. Metamorpho

Metamorpho is one of those great C-List characters that appeal to me in ways I can never successfully describe.

February 1st is a big day in Sketch-a-Day Land. On February 1st 2011, I started the first Sketch-a-Day, which last 369 days (up top!). I was never gonna do it again, until 2012 was my least productive year, so I decided to start it again, on February 1st 2013. This time I went to 669 days (my brotha!). I took a two month break to work on some other projects, and started the 3rd and current iteration on February 1st 2015. Yesterday marks (not counting bonus sketches and whatnot [which there have been a lot of]). I’ve missed exactly one day due to excessive drinking. So. That makes today my OFFICIAL 1,769th daily drawing (up top my brotha!). Unofficially, there’s a lot more. Don’t do the math, it’ll hurt you.
That said, there’s no end in sight for this incarnation of the Sketch-a-Day barring severe illness or death, and I am working hard to try to stem my willingness to succumb to the latter. I’m still here. I’ll still continue to be here.
Maybe I’ll re-evaluate at Day 1000.
731. The Maxx
I think I’ve bought every issue of The Maxx in its every incarnation. The original series, the Wildstorm trade reprints from DC, and then the IDW Maxximized series. I’m dumb, but I love Sam Kieth’s work, even when I don’t particularly enjoy it (there’s a couple series out there I did not like at all, but they were pretty).
