From 2005 onward, most of these are from blog posts. Pre-2004 I didn't have a computer so to save the time of scanning stuff from old sketchbooks, most of it is from my early website. 2000-2001 was mainly from my portfolio and is relatively formal and art-schooly. If I had an intern, I'd have them scan more interesting stuff from my sketchbooks, but my cats haven't learned how to use the scanner yet.

Wow this is a fantastic idea. It's cool to see how your style progresses through the years!
I remember and still love the 'Zombies dont have deadlines" drawing!
