The theme of my sketchbook was self portraits. Today’s sketch comes to us from Dave Malki who is the creative genius behind Wondermark.

Wondermark is a wonderfully original strip that updates twice a week. The best way to describe it is this is what comics from the victorian era would have looked like. Each strip is a stand alone gag so you don’t need to start from the beginning, unless you wish to do so. Give it a look you’re sure to get a good laugh.

Wondermark isn’t a traditionally drawn strip so I wasn’t sure if Dave would be up for drawing me a self portrait but he was quickly up for the challange and provided a lovely self portrait.

The theme of my sketchbook was self portraits. First up is Dave Kellett of Sheldon Comics. You can find it seven days a week.

Dave writes on his website: “Sheldon is a sarcastic, nerdy family strip filled with pop-culture references and fun, random storylines. At its center is this weird, wonderful little family: a boy, his duck, and the grandfather that raises them both. It’s a strip of geeks, for geeks, drawn by a geek. You’ll dig it: trust us.” I dig it.

When I first approached Dave about doing a self portrait he was a bit hesitant at first since it’s not his thing, but he was kind enough to oblige. I think he was happy with it because he snapped a picture of it and actually beat me to the punch by including it in his NEWW write up. Enjoy the awesomeness.
