I hate Jenga. It takes forever to play and in the end you just have a big mess to pick up. But my friends love it, so that’s that. At least people stay relatively still as they sit on the edge of their seat watching the tower wobble and sway. It’s much easier to draw people playing Jenga than it is to draw them playing basketball.
A few drawings from the Phoenix Art Museum, where it is absolutely forbidden to draw with a pen. They only allow pencil, which seems to be a rule enforced by only the lamest of museums. In the Louvre you can can take pictures with flash, you can set up and easel and do a painting right in front of the art, but in stupid old Phoenix Art Museum (which has a nice collection but seriously, nothing famous) it’s pencil only and even then you will have guards breathing down your neck. Same thing with the Guggenheim Vegas.
I actually enjoy drawing in pencil but it makes a big mess of the sketchbook and after a couple years of rubbing against the next page you are left with nothing but a large grey smudge. I have taken to taping a piece of wax paper over pencil drawings, and that seems to protect them pretty well.
These are from a snowboarding trip I took with friends. We had a great time and a lot of laughs. I don’t often put word bubbles into sketches, but I did this time because I thought they helped capture the spirit of the trip.
