This
sketchbook was created for a traveling art show by
the Art House Co-Op gallery in Atlanta GA. Every artist
was given the same blank 3x5 moleskin notebook and
a theme to interpret.
I
brought my sketchbook with me at the beginning of
this year on my travels through Rome, Italy and Barcelona,
Spain. On the plane ride over I began testing my brain
and trying to develop new styles and different ways
of illustrating my characters in an attempt to create
something a little different on every page. This turned
into a 30 page creative challenge that I really got
into.
Rome
for New Years was very inspiring with all the amazing
fine art and architecture. Elements from this trip
found there way into some of the pages. The books
small size made it easy to bring along as it killed
the boredom of flight layovers and it really helps
with jet lagged sleeping habits. Traveling with my
girlfriend I got to question, discuss and make games
out of the characters direction as they evolved bringing
a new life to them.
I
still honestly can’t tell you where most of
these characters come from but they do flow easily
from my pen and are extremely entertaining to create.
As this Project evolved I now get to look at them
as a complete body of work and figure where I want
to take them next. I put a website together so I could
share it with my family, friends and make the project
available to anyone who would enjoy it. Thanks for
checking them out ..................to be continued.
