A SKETCHBOOK FROM 2005

Yeesh...

I'm nowhere near finishing my latest 

sketchbook.

So maybe we oughta dust off an old

one in the meantime:

There's not a lot of drawing 

in this one.

Back in the mid 1990's I was

primarily using my sketchbooks to break down

Codename: Kids Next Door stories.

But there are some doodles 

here and there.

We were just starting 

season 6

around this time.

Here's an early rough outline for

OPERATION: RECESS:

and early work on

WHITEHOUSE

(nee WAKE-UP)

Operation: TRICYCLE:

Trying to break 

OPERATION: SPINACH:

Here are some Neilson ratings

from a night around that time.

Getting a 4 in those days

was considered pretty rockin'.

This comic by

Michael Kupperman

still makes me giggle:

I loved seeing the KND

in toy ads:

This is really cool!
When Mo was first telling me about his big idea
for a series of early reader books,
he sketched out a pic of what
ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE
were going to look like:

Speaking of artists,

here's a drawing a young

KND fan did for me while I was

vacationing in Aruba:

Some made the cut... some didn't;

Playing around with KND story ideas:

 And lastly,

the inked original of

a drawing I did for press stuff.

Not sure about that nose, tho:

Hopefully I'll have a

NEW

sketchbook 

finished for you soon!
