More sketchbook stuff
I wish I could post some new stuff I've done but it's for publication and I'm supposed to wait after until it....published. Here's some sketchbook stuff form last week.
Recent sketchbook stuff
Somehow these little fuckers called otoliths (limestone/protein rocks we use for balance) in my inner ear were knocked loose giving me extreme vertigo for two goddamned days. All you can do is lie flat in the dark, not moving. They're normally on a bed of gel that houses tiny hairs that wave like wheat in wind when you move your head. The hairs are connected to your brain via nerves - and holy shit - it can fuck you up. It's like lying down on a bed really drunk and the room starts spinning like crazy and keeps spinning (for 48 hours straight) until either the stones find their way back to the pile of other otoliths or your brain rewires itself to compensate for the new arrangement. They evolved to get small in our ears but they're huge in fish. People make jewelry out of fish otoliths - something I don't have an opinion about - which is surprising. It's something I would normally feel one way or the other about.
Carrier Pigeon poster
Carrier Pigeon magazine, (issue 13) will feature a fold out poster of mine (see below), along with a 10 page spread of my stuff. I hope to have extra posters available here in the fall.
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.
