E-GAD, HOLMES! THE GAME IS A FOOT... AND WEARING A BOWLING SHOE!

A page of random doodles that unexpectedly came together as a Sherlock Holmes kinda piece.  You have the unidentified guy sneaking past, a mad genius villian cackling maniacally and a pensive and pondering Holmesesque character being pensive while pondering.

STAR WARS EPISODE VII: IMPATIENCE OF THE DARK LORD

Did this single panel cartoon for USC's student paper The Daily Trojan.  Kinda interesting 'cause I did it in brush and ink -- a departure from my trusty Sharpie Marker.  Also interesting in that I drew it before anyone had seen Darth Vader's face (pre RETURN OF THE JEDI) so the "mystery" was still there...

That's right -- the month of January 2012 saw THE MOST visitors to this site ever.  Over 560!!  Not bad for a little homegrown blog spot.
