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 367: Zatanna wallpaper


wallpaper 2: Zatanna
These are only my art in the sense that I use my Photoshop Kung-fu to combine the elements of other artists that I really dig. I'm not big on using my own drawings as wallpaper, but my own digital mash-ups are fair game :)

Entry 366: Dark Knight Wallpaper


I made it a year so I took a few days vacation, lol. I'm not super concerned about making this every single day anymore, but I do want to come pretty close, so keep checking, and thanks for looking this long :)
I'm gonna do a couple wallpapers this week just cuz I want some new ones and can never find any that I like, so here's the first of a series: The Dark Knight

Entry 361: Final Spider

This actually turned out pretty nice considering it was completely paper-less. I'm getting a little better at using my tablet, but I still think drawing by hand comes off a little cleaner and is easier to control by far.
