So Run, Run.

I was listening to some Bone Thugs tonight as I was drawing.
Specifically, the title-track from their album E. 1999.

Sideshow Varejao

I felt like keeping the Cavs/Simpsons theme going, so here’s another obvious connection. Show me someone who doesn’t see the resemblance in Sideshow Bob & Anderson Varejao, and I’ll show you my Harvard degree.

Moe

If Moe Szysak (bartender in the Simpsons) had a favorite basketball player; who would it be?
Why, Mo Williams of course.

Delonte West

Delonte West is one of the best personalities I’ve seen in the NBA. I began this drawing during the playoffs last season, and I forgot about it until I watched a video online of him freestyling in his car at a KFC. The Cavs were already the most fun team to watch, and now that we added Shaq-Diesel, (who just happens to be the most entertaining personality in professional sports) I cannot even imagine what these guys will be doing next season.
Here is a link to the KFC freestyle video.

Cleveland RTA

Posted in Cleveland by Rick Martin on 08/01/2009


Went to the Indians game tonight with some buddies of mine. We took the RTA Rapid down to Tower City in order to avoid driving/parking, and as we were riding back I spent a good amount of time looking at the transit map. I’ve found that anything I end up spending a lot of time observing is what I will most likely end up wanting to draw later on. I was originally planning on adding the other routes, however the Red Line is the only one I’ve ever really ridden, not to mention it’s almost 4:00 in the morning, and I’m ready to crash.
