I tried to sketch George Parker (from the infamous AdScam blog), but the doodle came out horrific! I'm not even going to bother to upload it. Copywriters really shouldn't sketch!

Honestly? Is nobody going to try and join in with their doodles here? Admit it, you've all been super distracted by the super bowl. Right?

Hey Gwen, I read some strips of your comic and it's really funny! I'm still a student and I want to work in an ad agency as well. My "model" will be my doodling Japanese friend, she's an angel and she inspires me a lot. I tried to draw a memorable scene in a photo booth in Akihabara last summer...

Thanks for participating everyone. I e-mailed Gwen a few days ago and she picked a winner! It was me! I submitted an incredible sketch of Andrew Jackson and she loved it. Thanks again!

Her illustrations are terrible. Only an ex W+K:er would have the gall to publish their crap in a book nobody bought.
