The Sketchbook Project: 2011

Art House is at it once again with their annual Sketchbook Project. Check out my sketchbook if you are in the vicinity of the show this year! You can see my interpretation of the theme: It Must Be... either at the exhibit or by viewing a video of my pen and ink sketches of some of my favorite artists in art history.

Denver's Delight • Pencil Sketch

This was done in my Japanese Red Maruman sketchbook. So far all the drawings in this book use a storyboard format [film (widescreen 1.85.1 / .825” x .446” aspect ratio)]. This is a work in progress based off a photograph I took last summer during a trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens. More to come...

Paris Artist • Gustave

On our last day in Paris, we went to see an artist atelier and the artist who spoke to us was Gustave.

Stamped at the Louvre

Collecting stamps (rubber stamps stamped in my sketchbook) at different locations during my travels is one of my favorite things to do besides sketching. There is a post office right at the Louvre and I always like to stop by and get a stamp. This year the guy insisted that it must include a stamp which was fine by me.
