Today’s Random Object is the Powhatan Warrior. It is more stereotype than history.

This morning’s random object was a figurine of a Royal Prince. There are roughly 45 monarchies left in the world and being a prince isn’t as easy as it seems.

This morning’s random object was a big brown bear with a fish hanging out of its mouth. We talked through the bear family tree while I sketched the essence of fur.

From muscle and tides to diesel beasts, this morning’s sketch dives into the world of tugboats and their hidden strength. Discover how much power it takes to move a ship, and what a “bollard pull” really means.

Ever wonder how your breakfast cereal gets to the store? Today I sketched a highway legend, the Semi Truck, while sharing wild facts about diesel, freight, and the open road.

Today’s random object was a firefighter, which hit close to home. My dad was a firefighter. My daughter’s boyfriend is also one. Firefighting has always been part of the background noise of my life, and today, it became the subject of the sketchbook.
