Butt Can


This started out as a quick sketch to thank my sister for emptying out the coffee can I use as an ashtray in the backyard, a task that could easily qualify for that TV show 'Dirty Jobs'. However, I've found that if I spend more than three minutes working on a cartoon or a sketch, I become inexorably drawn into fleshing it out to create a full fledged drawing, slipping into my own little world as I osbessively attempt to mirror the image in my mind with the lines and color on the paper. Maybe there's a pill I can take to avoid the compulsion, but if there were, would I really want to take it?
