The Sketchbook is a collection of conceptual art and sketches by The Brothers Chaps. These were once found by clicking on the S at the top of the Main Pages, and were generally updated on Thursdays from 2004 through late 2009. This hiatus was briefly broken in 2014, but no new art has been shared since October 30 of that year. Since the post-Flash site update on the first day of 2021, the button no longer works.

As of November 22, 2004, the image and text are no longer part of the Flash file.

Image Date Caption Description
Marzi as Anton Chigurh! 30 Oct 2014 Marzi as Anton Chigurh! A rejected Halloween costume, Marzipan as Anton Chigurh from the film No Country for Old Men.
