Alright. I said I was going to do this weekly or at least more regularly and I missed the first week. But this is way more regularly than once every 10-11 months right? I have valid excuses though. I had a painting I was commissioned to do last week and was generally more busy than usual. So, with that being said, here are some sketches from the last 8 months or so as I grabbed them from the sketch folder. These are mostly from sketching in my cubicle at my soul crushing day job and are inspired by my wandering imagination and whatever I may be reading at the time.
First up: an 80's burnout brit punk type fella, then 2 sketch pages mashed together there's some fun stuff in those, then an airborne pro wrestler type, then adventure time y'all! jake's gonna mace yo face!, then bill triceratops with the 7 day forecast, cavorting bear, sea cow!, fancy pants iguana has a request, bulldog sketch, and thome guy who ith thuper thtrong you guyth.
Also included a picture of the aforementioned commission. That's right, it's the elephant from some 2 years ago. Turns out my mom's coworker fell in love with her elephant painting and offered an absurd amount of money for it and she turned it down because she hates me and wants me poor forever. Now he is leaving their practice and they commissioned an elephant of his own for a going away present. Let's hope that sparks some more commissioned work from some doctors with disposable income! (...seriously though, i will take your money for my arts).
Also another picture of Abe because he's too cute.
I shall return soon with more sketches and maybe some finished stuff too.

Yeah, its been almost a year since I posted but its only sort of my fault. Last year my scanner died. Then my iMac died. Then my ambition took a backseat to my puppy for a while. Then I got paranoid about the interwebs stealing my arts and such. Then I forgot about this blog for awhile.
But! I have returned! And I bring some arts with me!
Here's the rundown! First up: the front of a postcard we sent out with our new address on it. Next: self-portrait as a pro wrestler. Watch out for that elbow drop Yeeeeah! Then: adorable puppy sketch. Keep an eye out, there might be a limited run of prints of a finished color version of this coming soon... Followed by: Adorable lion! Say, that lion is cute. Maybe there should be more animals like him. Maybe there are. Maybe you can see them on my portfolio page (zachwagner.carbonmade.com). Also potentially a series of prints coming from that for sale maybe soon? We'll see. Then: Part-Time WereWolf pencils version, Klauwn pencils, Abe: distraction extraordinaire!, random daily animal drawing from the Amanda collection, puppy sketch, and an arctic themed card i sketched out. I might find the finished version of this and share it with you soon. It turned out super cute!
So. That's where we are at. Amanda, Abe and I just moved in to a new place (thanks Mark, Laurie and Mac!) I've got a studio set up and a scanner and a new computer and the wacom and we are going to get this thing going here. I've got a backlog of sketches needing scanning and blogging and I'm going to try to get this going on a weekly basis again. I'm always available for commissions and maybe prints of previous work if you're interested. Thanksssss.
