Sketchbook Project 2012 Submitted

Well, I have submitted my sketchbook for this year's Sketchbook Project---just sent it in the mail last week. With the theme of "This is a Sketch Book", I used all of my past sketchbooks as subject matter, drawing from them imagery of all types: still life, figures, abstracts, perspective studies---even a magic poster idea I had back in my college days at NC State.

These small sketches were done in a flurry of activity beginning just a week or so before the postmark deadline for the project. This has been much fun, and I'm hoping it will revitalize my creative efforts for this year.



As a sample, here are the first six pages of my sketchbook:


A magic poster design from my college days at NCSU.


Study of facial features.


More studies.


Perspective and geometric studies.


Magician performing the "Linking Rings".


Mistletoe peering out at the island.
