Sketchbooks aren’t something that artists always share but I share mine in this sketchblog because it may spark new folks to start a sketchbook of their own. If I wasn’t driven to share the fulfillment of drawing for oneself with others I would keep it fiercely private. Its real purpose is only for me. Folks wonder why the drawings in my books span so many styles, subjects, and...
I’ve been going to the Museum of Flight kind of a lot lately. The first time I went a few weeks ago I immediately bought a membership because I knew that I had found one of my precious places. When you find a spot that you instantly have a sense of place in or are doing something you connect to for the first time...
This week I took to the road to catch the Samurai Armor exhibit in its last week at the Portland Art Museum or PAM… which makes me giggle and think of it as the Seattle Art Museum (SAM’s) gorgeous amazon of a sister. It puts poor SAM to shame on so many levels. It was a seven hour drawing marathon replete with a traditional...
My sketchbook is starting to look like winter too. And I have Edward Hopper wrapped around my brain thanks to an old acquaintance. “Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” ~ Edward...
Only eight blank pages left in this fall sketchbook and when you get that close it’s like a marathon runner seeing the finish line. All you want to do at that point is draw everything in sight and every single thought that pops into your skull. You can taste the end and the beginning and it feels like if you don’t finish it fast...
Recently I’ve started drawing right after meditating. I’m just getting back into it and always enjoyed where I was, or wasn’t, during meditation. The state that I would carry out of it was pretty rad too. Wanting to see what would come from that, and also to see if I could sustain that feeling longer, I took it to my sketchbook when I would finish....
Friends are always asking me to draw things for them and once in a blue moon I’ll oblige. There isn’t much rhyme or reason to what gets me to agree to do something like this for someone. Mostly it’s if the bug bites me. This time one of my closest friends, Cricket, asked me to illustrate a Pheonix for him modeled after the one...
With a new year brings a new sketchbook and new sketches. Finding myself a sketchbook is a painstaking process. Saying that I’m picky is an absurd understatement. Searching for a book with paper that has tooth and character, that has a soft cover but is strongly bound is harder to find than you would think. I couldn’t care less what the cover looks like...
