Sketch a Day: Easter Bunny Nudist Discrimination Policy

I’ve not been posting nearly as much as I would like to be lately. One of the many reasons for this is profoundly positive: work is busy. Lots of new business coming in the door and pitches underway. I’m proud to say that I work with an amazing group of people who do amazing work and to have the degree of job satisfaction I have at the moment feels almost criminal.
That said, “why come you no blog much more, Scottee?” some of my more illiterate readers write me. To which I must say that the commitments of work and being a family man (who is soon about to move) lately are too great to warrant a great degree of time spent on this blog masterpiece.
With that said, here are some quick updates.

Ever since I was a ‘wee lad, I loved to sketch and draw. My grandmother was largely responsible for instilling this love of “art” in me. My Dad’s irreverence and back-of-the-napkin and doodles and verbal characatures also played a role. And who could forget the Bruce Blitz video my Mom bought me when I was in elementary school?
I would draw on everything. About everything. Up until recently, I had kept my notebooks since middle school that were lined with cartoonish lampoons of whatever subject matter my teachers were trying to impart. To this day I often find myself doodling on scratch paper during meetings – usually incorporating cartoon versions of the problems at hand – or a sketch of an abstract of the business problem. Or sometimes just a really funny thing somebody said.
Lately, as you can probably tell by reading this blog, I have taken to trying to draw something every day. While I don’t have the personal time to post a “Sketch a Day” as much as I’d like to, I make the effort to doodle something – anything – each day, and tuck it away into a folder for later review.
Once done, I think I will collect my favorites, scan them into the computer in higher quality (than is posted here) and create a 5×7″ photobook on Shutterfly for posterity. Just a thought.
