I get asked, sometimes....
Occasionally I'm asked what does one kind of my drawings have anything to do with another kind that I've previously made - so I crated a page to explain.
Ink lines (nearly) done
I'll be adding brick, wood and carpet texture next, before watercolor.
First page
Sketchbook initiation page.
Sometimes the hardest part of starting in on a new sketchbook is the first page.
Aerial Butt study - line
15" x 18" pen & ink study for larger drawing. The feet/toes need work, yes, I know.
Gigantic sketchbook ready to bind
Consists (so far) of (15, cut to size) 22" x 30" Fabriano Artistico hot press 90# watercolor paper, linen thread and linen tapes. Once bound with covers it'll measure (opened) 25" x 11".
progress on Big Canal room
52" x 62" - pencil is erased as first layer of ink is applied. After second layer of in watercolor begins.
optometry business t-shirt
I don't, but if I had an optometry business this is the t-shirt I would make to sponsor the local little league team.
Chilled Air Show Opens June 21, and also, a shirt
The folks putting the Chilled Air show together took one of my drawing and made a 100 shirts - you can get one here. The show opening June 21 in Los Angeles at Think Tank Gallery and should be crazy fun.
Some dude wearing the shirt
Dumb 5 am sketchbook stuff
I often ride the subway at 5am on my way to work. This is what sometimes happens.
Durable Bookbinding summer class
I'm teaching a Durable Bookbinding class again: July 8-Aug at the EFA. Tuesday evenings.
"This class represents Teplin's version of his ideal book - which he binds for use as his own sketchbooks as well as one-of-a-kind artist books. Knowledge of basic book binding is not necessary. Teplin will step students through binding their own books from start to finish so that everyone on the class walks away with their own blank book. He will display 20 examples of perviously bound books which the class is welcome to look through. A new one-of-a-kind artist book by Teplin can be seen here."
