When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time underneath the football stadium bleachers — not like that, you pervs — usually during gym class to avoid any real physical activity, often with pals such as Frank Beaton, smoking cigarettes and discussing Nirvana and the Pixies. I don’t think I ever actually sat on the proper side of the seats.

And for my own sanity, I hope I never have to draw them again.

But surprisingly, I like drawing football players. They’re like superheroes. Go figure.

On a side note, a big thanks to Sarah Kuhn, author of One Con Glory, for the shout-out in her recent interview with Bildungsroman. I drew an illustration for the book, which you should buy like right now because it is seriously good.
