NAPA Journal ::Teaser::

I am gradually sculpting out my travel Journal from Japan. I am still fiddling with the basic page layouts and considering various formats, but I feel like I will go with this approach for now. This is just a sample page..it will be colored of course..I just wanted to get some feedback on "readability of handwritten text"..and whether it could flow well visually for over 50 pages or so..anyways, I know it is in its very early stages.....but feel free to crit away! :)

thanks

Oil on canvas 16 x 20 ... (this was done on a sheet of canvas from one of those canvas pads - guess that passes for a sketchbook? LOL
My favorite part of the painting is the catch light in my eyes and those ipod headphones.

I'm Back

Massive Art Update

It's been quite a while since I've updated my blog with sketches. So, what that usually means is that 'a lot' of work has piled up over the past 3-4 months. I have spent this entire week scanning and adjusting the sketches. Sometimes it feels like I'm spending more time scanning than drawing :P
There's a combination of 3 different sketchbooks below, experimenting with various styles and methods. The box below was a birthday gift I hand-made for my mom.

hope you guys like it.

enjoy

Jillian Tamaki on Sketchbooks

Jillian Tamaki has posted some thoughts on sketchbooks, and a lot of what she says resonates with me right now. For a while now I've felt my sketchbook work turning away from something that is done with an audience in mind (that audience largely being this blog's readers) and towards a more personal direction. A large percentage of the pages now are covered in writing, notes, thumbnails, ideas - the "finished" pages are few and far between. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on Jillian's post.
