Toy's Dream: Hyde Street Pier 06/13/2015

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2015/07/hyde-street-pier-06132015.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Monday, July 20, 2015. Hyde Street Pier 06/13/2015. This summer has been ghastly busy. It's been ages since I've had a chance to go sketching with my pals in the SF Sketchers. Meetup group, and ages more since I've had a chance to update this art blog! From happier times, here's a sketching trip to see the vintage ships at the Hyde Street Pier. The entryway to the ferry ship Eureka serves as a nice "title page" for this roundup. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Toy's Dream: Sketchnote Odyssey, Part One

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2015/08/sketchnote-odyssey-part-one.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Sketchnote Odyssey, Part One. I'm currently reading Homer's Odyssey. For the first time, and just for fun, I'm documenting it as I go along in a kind of cartoon semi-sketchnote form. So far I've been doing a chapter a day, and I'll post them here in batches.

Toy's Dream: December 2014

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Thursday, December 11, 2014. It's been a while since I posted zoo drawings, so let's catch up. The month of November was kind of overshadowed by the very sad accidental death of Kabibe, the SF Zoo's baby gorilla, and I didn't really have the heart to go sketching for a while. I did do a little tribute drawing for the impromptu memorial shrine, though, showing Kabibe with her doting grandmother Bawang. Going back a little further, here are some drawings from November 8. The siamangs ...

Toy's Dream: Superhero Costume Workshop 05/08/2015

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2015/05/superhero-costume-workshop-05082015.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Superhero Costume Workshop 05/08/2015. And now, some sketches from the traditional end-of-the-semester workshop hosted by the AAU Comic Book Club. Aaron as the TV version Daredevil, and Margo as a very kittenish Catwoman. This is clearly the role Aaron was born to play. He's so hardcore, he didn't take the mask off all evening! And here's Margo getting ready to punish us in the name of the moon. By the Power of Grayskull, it's Jonathan as He-Man!

Toy's Dream: More Summer at the SF Zoo

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-at-sf-zoo.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Monday, July 20, 2015. More Summer at the SF Zoo. Whenever the deadline clouds clear for a day or two, I tend to run off to the San Francisco Zoo. My membership expires at the end of this month, so I have to get as much mileage out of it as I can! I don't think I've ever drawn the zebras before. With one exception, they were posing very cooperatively. It's always nice to pay a visit to the African Aviary, especially when there's a fledgling ibis to admire. View my complete profile.

Toy's Dream: Oakland Zoo 05/23/2015

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2015/06/oakland-zoo-05232015.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Thursday, June 4, 2015. In which Julie and I return to OZ to celebrate some elephants! Volunteers were on hand to share their pachyderm knowledge, and remind us to support California's SB 716 (banning the use of bullhooks) and AB 96 (cracking down on the state's shameful ivory trade). The utterly adorable white-handed gibbons. The blond one doesn't seem to be quite as extroverted, but they're both serious swingers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Toy's Dream: November 2014

http://toysdream.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

That Blog Won't Hunt. Friday, November 28, 2014. Over the last few weeks, I've been working on a comic about a zoo for imaginary creatures. I actually started doing some daily illustrations for Inktober based on this concept, but lost my momentum partway through. Just to freshen up this blog a little bit, though, here are a couple of group shots showcasing some of the featured crytids and bestiary beasties. So yes, those are kaiju. Style giant squid, sloth, and mantis costumes. You're welcome. First time...
