The musings of a dedicated grasshopper
I’ll occasionally post drawings (or other forms of art) for sale. I’m always striving to improve myself, and that means I end up with a lot of drawings lying around.
~ Sketchbook Fever Sale ~
All drawings posted below are $20 plus shipping and handling.
Injuries, even minor ones, don’t come free. In order to help raise money to pay for my medical expenses, I’m offering $20 commissions! Take advantage of this sale while it lasts! You can rest easy knowing that all proceeds will go directly to my medical bills.
What You Get:
A 9in x 12in black & white or color pencil drawing

Goal – O – Meter:
It will display my progress as I am able to pay off the medical expenses. I should treat myself to something nice once I reach the goal mark!
How to Order:
+ Email me with a description of what you want at [email protected] with “Sketchbook Fever” as the subject header.
+ If you do not hear back from me within 5 to 7 business days, resend the email and post a comment in my blog; it probably means the message went to spam.
+ The price is $20.00 + Shipping and Handling, $4.95 (A total of $24.95)
+ I accept checks or money orders. Once I receive your payment, you will be notified via email, and I’ll start on your drawing!
+ You will receive notification once the drawing is finished and when it’s ready to ship out.
+ I am still accepting commissions of an elaborate nature. Elaborate commissions are excluded from $20 sale, but I will give you a Sketchbook Fever discount. Just let me know when you order that you are interested in something of that nature.

** I ask that you only order if you have the ability to pay. Due to my medical expenses, I can no longer accept orders of a buy now, pay later nature. Thank you for your understanding! **
I spoke too soon in my last update!
At any rate, I was able to get one drawing in for April, Omega Police, as seen in my last post. So far, so good as far as New Year resolutions go! I’m glad I’ve been able to keep up so far.
Books read:
2/3 — I finally finished The Watchers out of Time by HP Lovecraft and August Derleth.
I give the book 3 stars out of 5.
The collection of stories was mostly Derleth’s work. He’s okay as a writer, but his stories were just too similar to each other. I only recommend this book if you are a hardcore Lovecraft fan dying for anything with a hint of Lovecraft; just don’t expect Lovecraft…
…Or if you just want something easy/light to read to pass time.
I don’t recommend reading this like a novel because of the similarity between stories. You’d probably get more enjoyment out of it if you read a story or two from it, read something else by another author, go back to this collection for a story or two, and so on.
Not much to report on this fine, breezy Saturday. Things are finally slowing down to the point where I can get back into my old routine. I finished the sneak peak I had posted in my last post:

“Omega Police!”
1000 by 1000 px || 2.5 hours || digital
I made a rough sketch with my tablet and then cleaned her up and colored using vexel tools. The background was done the same way, except I used my wood pattern and a few photoshop filters. I wanted “Miss Omega Police” to be the focus.
You can see the wood pattern I created in the sneak peak I posted last week!
That pretty much sums up my life for the past month. I’m hoping things slow down soon. I could use an extra paid day off just about now! The next one doesn’t come until the end of May. I am looking forward to it!
Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been working on:
Just a few sketches of a digital drawing that I want to finish by the end of this month and a wood pattern I created in photoshop.
I took the stitches mentioned in my last post out today. The process was much easier than I had anticipated (that’s always a plus…and so is not going to the doctor’s office)! It is such a nice day out. I already went for a walk and am tempted to go out for a second one.
High Castle in the News!
