silly sketchbookery

Well folks, this could be the last post for a while as my wife and I will be moving out of our tiny apartment and into our first house here in the next few weeks. I tried to cram as many drawings as possible into these pages so there will be plenty to look at in my absence.

My attempt at drawing donut head Homer on the bottom of the left page was a miserable failure, so I just stuck with the usual ugly sweaty people for the rest of the pages.

I promise that's not a KKK member on the left page, just an idiot in a conical hat. I swear!


I think this started as another exercise in how many different faces I could come up with and evolved into this monstrosity that will surely devour us all. And yes, I believe that is a Devo hat the fellow on the top of the right page is wearing.

And how about a little gore to finish! I really want to say thanks to all the cool people that regularly check out my blog and leave nice comments, you are all really great artists and it's been a pleasure exchanging words. Anyone that requested a sticker start looking in your mailbox as they are on their way! Hope to be back soon, now on to the boxes, ugh.

So many gems, I can't count'em all. Congrats on the new house!

Thanks a bunch Bob! I'll try and post pictures of my "art room" after we get moved in, I have such a massive collection of useless crap that I feel the need to share!

You got a new house? congrats!
Hey all your drawings are so funny and goofy. Like you screw a faucet like pen onto the end of your arm and this stuff pours out!

David DeGrand said...

Thanks Bob! It's kinda scary the stuff that just comes out in the sketchbook,I gotta say I was warped early on by a certain cat and dog duo back the the early 90's. Thanks for providing such a great influence early on, getting to meet with you when I was a wee lad really inspired me to keep at it!

I just stumbled upon your blog and it is indeed a grand land. I love all the nervousness and anthropomorphic trees!

David DeGrand said...

Hey thanks David! I have to get my nervousness down on paper, otherwise I'll be a wreck!

Brendan said...

That first one is my favorite. I love your sketchbooks.

Jason Curtis said...

Congratulations, you now have a stalker! This is my first time on your blog David, but I'll definitely be making regular visits from now on. Your drawings are incredible, I love your style. Suddenly I feel the need to bury my sketchbooks in the backyard so nobody will see them!

David DeGrand said...

Hey Kiefer, thanks man! What have you been up to?

Hey thanks a bunch Jason! Really dig your style also, tons of fun. Don't bury your sketchbooks, just post them in a pretentious blog!

Jason Curtis said...

...okay, I'll put the shovel away.
