Napkins oh yeah

Long Tan bar the night I was supposed to be at Becky's wig party. Sorry Becky, next time?

Canal Bar Sketch

So during my bout with the Epstein-Barr virus I could barely swallow a glass of water, my throat ached so badly. I think I'm 90% over it now, that last 10% is always the toughest to get through, I'm sure I'd be fully recovered if I wasn't out enjoying life with the likes of my friends, Jim Beam and Sam Adams, But then again 90% is the new 100%, as is 30 the new 20 and let's not forget that Ginger is the new Cinnamon either.
While I was out enjoying my local pub, Canal Bar, I sketched this guy across from me, he kept impersonating Cartman from South Park. Thankyou for that.

Sketches of some girls

Just doing a little sketching here and there, the top one was over a few beers a few weeks ago with some friends of mine from the soccer team, I was demonstrating my lackluster pick up skills by drawing this girl, talking to her and really getting nowhere. She was really pretty but a tad stuck up, so she didn't get to keep the drawing. That's how it works, ladies.
The red ink pen rendition is of this gorgeous gal that Keith Gelhorne and I noticed from across the bar at Long Tan on fifth ave., done in my kitchen while listening to Edith Piaf and sipping on some Magic Hat.

sketches for short

holy crap 2 posts in one day! roughs for a short piece I'm working on for myself. I figure if anyone reads this they can tell me "Phil, how's that personal project going?" to make me feel guilty that I never finish anything I ever start!

After a couple of drinks with Bryan and Sean I drew this.

memory sketch from the train

Man, This guy kept coughing on me this morning on the train ride in. I was trying to read Harry Potter and all while dodging spit, I guess that's what airborne is for, eh?

Quite the Adventure

These are just a couple of designs I worked on for the latest Tek piece. The first version of Tek wasn't spacey enough, I agree.
The girl is Tek's gf, Jana, who used to be named Ginny. The Colbert peeps were/are alot of fun to work with, not too picky at all, they let us worry about the art, while they worried about the story. Man, I wish I could have my summer back , I'd trade a couple of Tek season 2 deleted sequences for a weekend off in July.
If you see it on Youtubes or something let me know how we could improve. Simon Ampel did a smack up job on desinging the other half of the characters, my fav. being the dying agent (voiced by Jon Stewart). We all did a bit of everything, Bryan Cox did some nice bg's of the assembly , and Max Porter had designed the bg's for the pitch we did to get the job in the first place, plus a few other bg's in this episode. Anyways, we're waiting for the second script, I don't really like fall, so I won't be missing much.

100% Genuine Napkin Drawings

So we were out last Wednesday eve, started at Toasties for an innocent beer, it turned out that Michael Ferraro happened to see Bryan Cox and I and we went back to his studio to check out his latest project and then off to (I forget the name now) on University and 12th...Jacks? maybe. But Steve the bartender there hooked us up with some Fondue and some whiskey, and we drew on some napkins. We folded them into 3 sections, working off the previous artist's lines, not knowing what they had drawn. I call the first one the Beetle, and the second one Radish Man.

Subway Rider

I rode the subway behind this guy a few months back, and saw a sketch i'd done of him from the back while cleaning up my files at work. I figured he'd look something like this from the front.

My brother on a Scott towel

It's been so long I forgot that I even had a blog, not that I've got a huge following YET!! or anything....This one was drawn at 5:30 am after a night out with Patric Lockerby in Brooklyn. He was sleeping, I was watching him, 'cause If I wasn't he'd have missed his flight.

Memory Sketch

From friday, this gentleman was seated across from me as I was returning from the Mets game with a friend. I still have another person to sketch from that evening, I haven't forgotten.

Monday Night

Thanks to Autumn for all the great recommendations for places to go in Miami...if anyone else has some, let me know.
This is her friend, Liz, who seemed stand-offish at first, but warmed up to Jon and I by the end of our stay at Prey bar. Thanks for sending me the picture.

Char designs.

I thought I'd dress her up in Knee highs, and a t shirt that my friend Todd is makin'.

Drawing on gum packets

I sketched this guy playing guitar last night, waiting for the train.
I didn't have a sketchbook on me......so I used an excel gum package instead.
He was really amazing, had a crowd, and all, and these girls were dancing. I gave him 5 bucks. I know it looks like two different people, but I didn't have my glasses on me, and besides, it was 1 am.

Rainy Day

I took a portal to lunch today, then I walked back to work, and this girl was walking in front of me.
When's this rain going to stop? Feel like I'm back in Vancouver.
