On July 2, I got a message on Twitter: "Any chance you're taking drawing requests tonight?!"
And so -- as I had done a couple of weeks prior -- I decided to let Twitter readers tell me what to draw in my sketchbook for the rest of the evening. The results are after the jump.
(Click on the drawings for high-rez versions you can print out as an iron-on or make your kids color or whatever.)

I took my cues for the following drawing from "Lady and the Tramp."

Sorry, Fatboy -- you're riding a Tauntaun.

Sadly, all I could think of were the possible complications.

Thanks for playing!

These are awesome, Mike. Thanks for indulging us! :)

The Twin Pod Cloud Crunch is still the wallpaper on my iPhone. I'm tempted to try to color it myself...

If you do color it, Brian, be sure to send a copy my way. (I was imagining the box having an orange-and-yellow Bespin sort of motif....)
