Profession - Underwater basket weaver

As promised, 

Above or below water it's important that you dress professional, yet still be comfortable in your work attire; and no weaver would be complete without a white smock and the finest grade japanese Geta Sandals money can buy. FYI: socks and sandals are allowed, together, underwater. Mainly due to the fact that the majority of your body temperature is lost through your toes. Especially the pinky, not the one who ate roast beef.
 
While the vigors of everyday weaving can fatigue the best of the best, a little known fact is, that by introducing the "Lotus position" into your daily routine, you can be comfortable, calm, focused and quite functional, all while increasing your productivity by 10-20%.
 
Special thanks goes to Justin Nelson, a friend who inroduced me to this absurd career. Really funny guy.

Profession - Doctor


Wanted to do a series of sketches to practice my character design skills. Wrote a list of 70+ professions and hope...that being the operative word here, to finish all of them. So this being the start, a doctor was the first occupation that I came up with? Not sure why I didn't think of sketching an underwater basket weaver. Now that's a skill not paralleled by any upstanding career. Alright it's settled... I will draw a Juilliard trained underwater basket weaver as the next sketch.

Groundhog Day



It was very sunny today where I am from. Poor little groundhog definitely seen his shadow, not sure it looked like this, then again, to me that's what winter can sometimes feel like. I'll bet the shadow has bad breath, stinky even...like the smell of sweaty deviled eggs that were left out too long. 

I guess were in for 6 more weeks of winter...no response.
