Sketching the Pittsburgh Pirates.Weekly recaps for the 2013 season, plus some extra drawings here and there!
My week two illustrated “highlight reel”!
Here’s your Pittsburgh Pirates week 1 recap! Many more to come!
Hey Buc Nation! I’m still here, and, more importantly, I’m still making Pirates art!
Admittedly, I got a bit worn down trying to draw every game last year. Regardless of the team’s record, doing daily sketches got overwhelming. Especially when I started getting a following large enough to make me not want to put up lousy sketches - I was trying to make every day’s post a finished work of art (instead of a quick sketch, as I had originally intended).
I’ve learned my lesson, though! So this year I’ll be drawing weekly illustrated recaps, instead. This way I can put a bit more time into each post and end up with something closer to a completed drawing that I’m happy with. I’ll likely be making them in color most weeks as well.
In the mean time, here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to! I had a chance to meet Michael McKenry as a #BucSocialVIP at PirateFest in December, so of course I had to get a drawing of him signed. And I also created a Facebook cover photo for Cutch that he featured on his official FB page for a few weeks over the winter.
I’ve got much more coming at yinz this season. So please keep following! 2013 is gonna be The Year!
Game 109

Game 90.

Game 85.
As you can tell, I’m now caught up to the All-Star Break! I should be totally caught up and posting current game sketches in another couple of days. And I’m pretty motivated - can’t wait to draw that Starling Marté first-pitch homer from tonight.
