I’m trying some ideas for future collages in my new sketchbook. I’ve lately been enamored of some 1950s cigarette cards found in the New York Public Library Digital Collection depicting rockets of the era. I use the images for drawing practice, as the forms are fairly simple and good for a beginner, I think. I’m […]
For Illustration Friday theme: undone
For Illustration Friday theme: hatch
Cropped from a recent journal page. I meant to rework it but didn’t have time.
I’ve been working on a Moleskine Japanese-fold notebook. The pages are thicker than the regular moleskine, so I can paint and glue to my heart’s content. I’m working on two-page spreads, but maybe by the time I get one side of the book done I’ll be ready to move on to 3 or 4 pages […]
