I don't watch "Idol," but the guy in the second row, right, looks like a young Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" fame.

That's Scott McIntyre:

I should really sit down and watch all that Top Gear someday.

I listen to Adam Carolla's new podcast and he casually mentioned the other day that he'd shot a pilot for a U.S. version of "Top Gear" for NBC, that the BBC were in on it and Jeremy and the guys were hangin' around. Carolla's a huge gearhead and hilarious and somehow this DIDN'T GET GREENLIT.

I, too, enjoy Carolla's podcast and am an avid listener. I've only seen a few segments of Top Gear, unfortunately, never even a full episode, but I'm certainly intrigued by both the original and the ill-fated pilot of the American version.

These are great. You put a lot of character into those faces.

I used to use a Hunt 102 for doing all this scratching and hatching.

Funnily enough, I think a lot of the character came out of delightful accidents as I swooshed lines around.

It seems like the Hunt 102 is the Linux of drawing tools -- if you're the kind of technician who can make it work, it's got all the customization you need.
