I like funky trees.

I’m sure this was influenced by Crime and Punishment, but this isn’t Raskolnikov, for the record.

I like that his mascot’s a cat instead of a dog.

Ah, Washington Elementary. My 3rd-6th-grade alma mater. I don’t really remember what the janitor looked like at Washington, but I do remember our school’s motto (which has since changed): “Love is in this school”. Pretty good, right?

Well, this janitor is wearing a neon green “Love is in this school” shirt. He’s also wearing a Washington School “Star Student” hat (The name has been changed to Windor to protect the innocent. No, actually, I didn’t think of giving him a “Star Student” hat until later, so really he’s just wearing a hat that says, “Windor Flskjg”. But he should be wearing a star student hat. The kind with the squishy front that has puffy paint printed on it and then the cheap mesh stuff in the back. You know what I’m talking about. Have you ever tried to fit a whole paragraph into parentheses? It’s fun.)

This is probably a misperception, but I seem to remember school janitors wearing random school paraphernalia all the time. Especially neon green stuff. Must’ve been a late 80s thing.

Just a little sketch of a boy and his kite.

Anutha image from my new sketchbook. Trying out Moleskine watercolor for the first time. Very nice paper.

I like it when just flat color does a lot of the work, as in this little sketch. And the green shoes are fun.
