Tim Fitzgerald is The Punisher.

So, as I have mentioned before, I participate in an art blog known as Area 221. It is a collective of illustration and art students from NJCU, sharing their most recent sketches and art with each other. Hopefully people are inspired by each other's work when they do post it, but lately, the blog has been experiencing some down time.

The blog isn't quite as active as it used to be, maybe because there's not active recruitment going on or maybe the most frequent contributors have taken on a much busier lifestyle.

But that isn't much of an excuse, is it?

Artists should always be drawing, like writers should always be writing, chefs should always be cooking, etc.

If you're gonna get better, you have to keep doing it. (And doing it well).

I couldn't help myself.

Anyway, every May, the entire month is dedicated to Sketch-a-Day-in-May as a way of celebrating the month Area 221 was established. This is my first Sketch Day May post.

Surprise.
