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 627: Almost, Maine

A poster I designed for the wife's upcoming GCHS Drama Club production. The play is several different little stories about love that all take place the same night in the town of Almost. The design here was based on what several other designers did for the play(woot! Google search), I just put my own spin on it, you might say it's been "Axelized."

Entry 609: Getting used to a face


When I start working on an illustration, especially one that includes the likeness of a real person I do a lot of roughs and thumbnail work. These sketches were to help me get used to drawing this guy's face, and also to decide how much of a caricature/cartoon it should be.

Entry 608: Ronin

Something I'm working on, a ronin. the object on the bottom of the page is his wakizashi wrapped up in cloth. Itried to make him look a little gaunt and strung out, but I think I can make that more obvious.
