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 192: Zatanna




Tried something new with this one, nice but not quite what I wanted I think. Zatanna is one of my all-time favorite heroins and definitely my all-time favorite costume.

Entry 184: Trailer Tires


I don't usually post two photos so close together, but I really liked this one. If I go back and draw the other Beatles i might switch the order on this one and yesterday's so they line up better :P

We went to a Beatles tribute show Sunday night, so I felt like doing this cliche little John Lennon piece. Maybe I'll do the other three Beatles too.
