Memory Sketche

I saw a great drawing exercice on tke Sketch Club's blog (http://sketchclub.blogspot.com/). Here is the description they give;
After lunch, Sketch Club identifies a person of interest, usually for their unique or distinct characteristics. The subject is briefly studied without drawing. Once back from lunch and back at the drawing board, the subject is drawn from memory.
This is exactly what I did with these 2 guys I saw on the street. They had strong features that easily printed in my mind.

Book on Rand Holmes by Fantagraphics

Rand Holmes was a canadian underground cartoonist. His art was totally amazing, as good as Wallace Wood from EC comics from my point of view...and his stories were funnier. Underground specialist Patrick Rosenkranz gives us this beautifull retrospective of this chronically underpaid artist who lived the 20 last years of his life on a remote island in British Colombia. A must for the underground cartoons fans. Published by Fantagraphics.
