Rock it - if ya' got it!!!

More Drink and Draw Goodness! I'm getting all excited about the hardcover book getting published in December. Last night, the usual crew got together and banged out a few drawings and downed a few pitchers. Oddly enough, this bar has been having Karaoke on Sundays.

Although this guy didn't really have a guitar, he should have, in my opinion. He was a decent singer but his enthusiasm was his most striking characteristic. The guy was really enjoying himself. I tried to convey that in my little scribbling.

Dan, this is great, loose and free but still clean. You can see all the energy is still intact. I know it's in here somewhere, but what are you drawing on? I love the look and wanna swipe it.
Lots of fun.

Urban Barbarian said...

Hey Michael, it's called Chip Board. But I guess that's just a fancy name for cardboard backing. We're using markers and a White Out Pen. And of course, beer...!

Urban Barbarian said...

RAY: Time to start a chapter out there!

KRISTEN: Me? Sing? Oooh, bad idea. I want more people to show up to these things!

JEFF: Thanks!

GOUTWORT: Just Chip Board and markers. And of course, White Out Pen.

MR. PAUL: I'll do that! But only if you take'r easy too!

ALBERTO: You're on and I'm going to hold you to it! ;)

SEAN: Thanks, kind fellow!
