It's a whole new year and that means it's time for some new work! Today has been a pretty awesome day (one of the best days in a long time), so without further a due, let's see what I've been up to all day :)

| New work YAY!! |
 |
| Look mom! No pencils!! |
 |
| I'm much more hands on with this piece. Had to break out the sand paper for this one :) |
 |
| If anyone watched Saturday Night Live with Jim Carrey last weekend you'll recognize this, hahaha! Great time waster! |
This is a piece inspired by an article I found on the Lakers Blog via Los Angeles Times (yes I am a Lakers fan!). The article discusses the importance of maintaining the teams health and sharp play. This has become a recent issue because a number of the players continue to play games with their injuries and it's affecting their gameplay (ex. the embarrassing Lakers vs. Miami Heat game on Christmas, but that's a whole other story, haha), and of course the Lakers want to maintain their championship title (so do I!). So, as I was reading the article, this image came to my head. Poof! I love those unexpected epiphanies :)
I've also decided to change my usual art making routine for this new piece. Rather than starting with a sketch and carefully inking my pencil lines, I've gone for the direct approach. No pencils, no sketch, just ink to paper! While it is taking me a little longer then usual to draw each figure, I find this approach very liberating, hehe!
Now for some sketchbook nonsense!
Day well spent! I hope everyday in 2011 is like this one. That's it for this week, I gotta keep going on that B-ball piece. See you next time! Toodles!!
nice work sam..love it ps
