Your Excuses Suck

Your Excuses Suck
Your Excuses Suck

'Your Excuses Suck' | Daily Drawing #59.

Missed posting yesterday's drawing. On the East Coast we were hit with (yet another) Winter storm and this fucker dumped a lot of snow accompanied by some bitter cold. It took a while to dig out, and unfortunately I had to deal with a roof leak. My favorite way to spend a Friday night!

But hey, that sounds like an excuse. And excuses suck.

Tools: Flair pens and Sharpee markers. Colorized in Photoshop.
