Sketchertizing

10-28-09

I've been wondering/discussing recently the point of keeping a sketchbook. To be honest.....sometimes I forget that drawing is fun, and I try to draw stuff that is cool instead of letting the pages be uninhibited meanderings. Along the way my mind switches gears and all of a sudden my sketchbook becomes fine art, and personally I find my work suffers (plus drawing with that brain hurts)








I know a few artists who keep sketchbooks as their art and that's all they do. I'm not lobbying for one way or the other just a passing thought.

I'm comin' up for air here....*gasp*

I'm hitting that stride where I actually produce less, but feel like I have been working all day/night without stopping. Here in Joyce-landia we are doing what would be called "crunch" in another industry, and twilight starts to shine over the production of book one-of-six on the Guardians project. Once It's done i'll make sure I spam this blog with all the promotion I am allowed to. The project has been officially announced to the world, but it's NDA status is complicated. (Less on that later)

The Artorder blog has another online challenge I wanted to be part of. It's a B&W illustration bout vampires. Here are the thumbs I have so far. Pretty excited about where it's going. Let me know what you guys think.
