First 15 minute sketch challenge for 2012...
Here's the result of the first "15 minute sketch challenge" for 2012 and I went a bit over time because of talking on the phone with a relative about something very important but was happy to realize what I had drawn when I finished. Hope you like it too!
May your 2012 be a good one!

My Art Horoscope for 2012
My Art Horoscope for this new year:
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You’ve got a few hurdles to face, Virgo, but try not to worry too much; you’ll get the appropriate recognition for all your hard work at the end of the day. You’ll have to push the higher-ups to give you the go-ahead for your dream projects, and this may start to wear you down. Don’t give up, though, because once you start to see the fruits of your efforts, you’ll know it was all worth that pain and worry -- and your superiors will, too. Get ready to meet more people who can help further your creative career as well, in really big ways (Steven Spielberg, perhaps? Or Anna Wintour?) Check out all the conferences, workshops, and openings you can, so you can mingle with new crowds and start making lasting impressions. And if you get the chance to fly to India, São Paulo, or Paris for a project, meeting, or just a random getaway, it’s definitely time to pack up that suitcase and hit the skies!
It's from the CCA: Find yours for the new year!
