Michael Morgan's Sketchbook

I recently caught my first foul ball. It’s just a baseball. But, because it was in a game it invites you to pour over every nick and scruff on it’s surface. You might find yourself speculating as to how long it stayed in the game. Or, ask yourself, “are those fingernail marks from the pitcher?” The ball quickly becomes it’s own microcosm, where each scrape is a continent on a dusty globe.

Play ball!  Check out my baseball comic that illustrates the fans and events at the Oakland Coliseum.  http://sketchballcoliseum.tumblr.com/

I’m a really lucky artist to have all of my childhood drawings saved by my parents.  This is my favorite.  MC Hammer with boom-box and a back-up dancer that I gave up on and scribbled out.  Cant touch this!

This is the latest flyer for the Battlehooch clan.  They are headlining Slim’s!  

Here is my poster design for the 2011 Art Crank show at 111 Minna Gallery that took place on Oct. 21st.  The design features a friend from my bike messenger days.  His name is Alex.  We worked at the same company a few years back and he always had breakfast and an after work snack available to broke-ass messengers!  He did it all on his own time.  Thanks Alex!  If you see him riding on his tricked out basket bike, give a him “Yeeeee!!!” for me.

Alex made it to the art show!  He was really happy that night.  He’s a true SF G.
