Daily Sketch: Not Blue Stripes
Apparently Mr. Sunshine doesn’t care for the dishtowel with blue stripes. He scrunched it up and kneaded it as best he could, and it still isn’t right. Probably the red gingham towels would work better for his purposes. That’s the only explanation I can determine for his slant-eyed expression. “Inscrutable” is Mr. Sunshine’s middle name. Is that “Mr. Inscrutable Sunshine”? Or “Mr. Sunshine Inscrutable Kazmarski”? He’s not telling.

They Always Find Each Other, 2012
It started out with Bean and Giuseppe, then Sunshine joined and hours later Mewsette joined the afternoon slumber party, as it always seems to happen. No matter where they are in the course of a day, they all end up together, tangled and content. How many photos ans sketches of them have you seen over the years? Some things never change. It’s very comforting.
And they fit so well together.
I drew this in charcoal pencil, then after a little break added the red conté outline because it was confusing even to me. And while they really look like a barely distinguishable blob of black when they do this, I thought it might be nicer for others to see a little more definition.
