HI! I'm Alex Smith,I'm a 28 year old illustrator, and this is my sketch blog. I started Sketch Party 2000 in April of 2007 with no real goals in mind. Soon after, it evolved into a daily ritual. I posted a sketch, photo, film, or some other piece of my art every day for a year. Somewhere in the middle of that year I went back to school, and if you start at the beginning and move toward the current entries you should be able to see that I paid attention in class. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy posting them, don't let this be your last visit. Updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday (and any other time I feel like it).

Entry 17

This was done in part as a slightly late birthday present and also as a thank you for actually checking out my sketch blog on a regular basis. This is my lovely friend Jamie Barnes as Puck from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The quote is Neil Gaiman, not Shakespeare but I thought it worked pretty well. I never saw the actual make-up for the show so I just drew what I thought looked cool, actually loosely basing it on Dorothy's make up when she directed the play last year. I hope you like it and I can definitely mail or e-mail copies if you want them. see you tomorrow :)

PS- for anyone who isn't Jamie Barnes, here's the photo I used for reference: Click Me!
