I've seen a bridge like this before.

It's like a dance.

I don't remember drawing this.

My love of rocks and bunnies.

I drew these between 3 and 6am this morning. It's 4:10pm, I havent slept yet. Actually, I slept two hours at Jon's this afternoon. I'm trying to stay awake, so that I might sleep tonight.

[Don't forget, the next World Wide Sketchcrawl is December 9th! Visit the site to find your city. I'll be participating in Boston. An excellent adventure.]

Cool work! Hope you get some sleep tonight. I won't unless our above-neighbour turns her music off... it's not the thumping bass lines so much as her attemps to sing along...

Yeah, I often do that too when I can´t sleep, feels good when the whole city sleeps and you´re alone with your light and the pencil and paper. This is what seperates the men from the boys! Erm, the slackers from the artists I mean. Nice to see you keeping it up!

Hey- you draw some great pics that you don't remember...
I really like your "Jeanette doesn't work" comic- Have you ever done a 24 hour comic? Of course there's the website 24hourcomic.com (or maybe 24hourcomics.com), It's Scott McCloud, he's a Boston native (I think).
It's weird that it's warm up there

These drawings remind me of my strange dreams at night as I flip and flail the covers right off the bed (much to my wife's chagrin). Are you sure you weren't sleep drawing?

Nice work.

I've drawn many an odd thing in the wee hours of the morning. The floating foot is my favorite, though "love of rocks & bunnies" is a great title.

by the way the one, "He caught the moon.
I've seen a bridge like this before." is my favorite and i keep staring at it because it is so good
