what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #353 - A great day


Today is the birthday of my childhood pal Anthony, the man I named my son after and the introduction into the world of Marty's son/daughter.

How do I draw that?

I broke the picture into thirds;

the first is for Arty, he introduced me to Aerosol art and Hip Hop, especially Run DMC and then Public Enemy.
Arty was too cool for school, he knew stuff and had stuff that nobody else had.
He owned two of the most iconic decks ever, the Hosoi Hammerhead and the Hawk Iron Cross.

The second third is dedicated to the greatest skateboarder that has ever lived and the man the I named my first born after.

Lastly but definitely not leastly is the 3rd third, this is dedicated to Bryce Edward Keenlyside born today. If he takes after his father he'll have a great capacity for learning.
