Sketchbook Project

My Sketchbook Project entry finally started it's national journey yesterday with it's first stop being the Brooklyn Art Library. I chose the theme "The Last of the People I Know" and the book chronicals memories from between 2003-2005 which were the years I made the transition from fearless art student into full time working adult.

My illustrations focus on my most pleasant memories from that period - hanging with friends and sussing out our futures over copious amounts of cigarettes and beer, pining over pet cats and mice, playing in silly bands and gazing at the tops of city buildings into the gradient of a magnificent sunset.

At the end of the book there is an envelope containing five photographs from this period in my life that I drew inspiration from, but you'll have to check out my sketchbook to see those! :) The Project is going on a World Tour, although only books from Australia and the UK will actually make it back over the seas. You can check out the tour schedule here.

Check out my completed sketchbook here.

Friends Cat and Jen visited the Brooklyn Art Library, checked out my Sketchbook and sent me a picture! See more pictures from their visit at Cat's Flickr.

I finished my SCIENCE PROJECT GONE WRONG sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project 2011! I made my sketchbook into a little comic about a teenage scientist who's experiments often go arrye. In addition to penning around 30 pages, I placed an awesome rainbow Periodic Table of Elements in the back along with photographs of Madame Curie and Dr. Carl Sagan. I am scanning my book tonight and it'll go out to the Brooklyn Art Library tomorrow!

I plan on making this comic into a zine, but for now you can enjoy tidbits on my Fanpage: Sketchbook Project 2011 Album.

I've been working on this book for a few months and the other night my friend Cat came over to finish up her sketchbook and took some pictures of me working with a Lucy in the lap.

SCIENCE!

Concept art for my Science Project Gone Wrong sketchbook for the Brooklyn Art Library's Sketchbook Project. I'm going to make it into a comic. I'm contemplating how I'm going to do that since the pages of the books are a bit thin for my inks. I'll probably be pasting into the book. I need to get myself a good haul of my favorite pens for this.

I received my sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project. My theme is Science Project Gone Wrong. I'll be posting updates on my progress!

In other news, I've been accepted to the Stars and Skulls Crafty Craft Fair 2010 and tragically wait-listed for the Anime Boston Artist Alley. Please post more efficient sign up process suggestions at the AB Forums. Apparently, there's a long wait list and no one has responded with my position on it, so prospects are bleak. Perhaps you want to share your space?
