Day 175.Sketchbook 2008.

Sketchbook 2008.
Three pages done on a few lunch and coffee breaks,
working at Prelude. These were done with Faber
Castell Pitt pens. The organic detail is always fun to do.

Thanks for visiting.

Day 174. Edward Scissor Hands.

It has been a few years since I've seen this movie.
I watched it with the kids yesterday.They liked the
garden and hair cutting scenes best.

Burton and Depp
have come a long way, producing some interesting
films. I have yet to see ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Day 173. Old Sketchbooks.

I have filled many pages, in many sketchbooks,
since attending ACAD. I'll be posting select pages,
starting with these from 1991.
At one time I recorded my dreams in a notebook,
kept by the bedside. Dreams of flying was a
recurring theme.
I've never seriously thought
about hang gliding or parachuting.
This is Ed and Dianne. We spent countless afternoons
and evenings playing cards. Something I've passed
on, focusing more on the sketchbook and work.
I'll have to play a few hands now and then...
see if I can win a few hands and beat
the "three stooges".

My boys were watching BOB THE BUILDER before bed.
I sketched for a bit on the couch.

I spent some time with the family today. We went out shopping,
bought art supplies and had dinner out. My eldest just completed
grade one, this was an unofficial celebration. They grow so
quickly and "pick up "so many things, that they constantly
surprise me. I like to stimulate their creative side with drawing,
 painting and just talking with them and listening to their ideas.

On a warm day we put out a picnic blanket on the front lawn.
Between my sons I laid on my back, looking up at the clouds,
and saw imaginary waves crashing on islands, dragons
riding on the wind. They talk of ants, crystal skulls and
bazooka troopers. Sometimes their chatter is background noise,
but it is important to listen to what they say...and I know I will
miss those little moments someday.

Day 171.

Early morning doodles.
Parker Quink black in a synthetic brush pen, more grey than black.

This is a portion of a table top at my son's school grounds.
It reminds me of grey moths.

Thanks for visiting.

Day 170.

A few late night doodles before bed.

We took the kids to TOY STORY 3 in the afternoon.
It was very well done, took the audience to so many
different places, and showed us beautiful and
exciting things. It told a good well crafted story.
You could not "see the seams" that is movie magic.

Pattern explorations.


This demonstrates how much of a memory hog
Photoshop really is. My system chugs along processing
the information, taking quite some time. I will need an upgrade
so very soon. Thanks for visiting.

Day 166.


Early morning brush pen.
Lines drawn half dreaming,
cast in black, cutting white
like ash and burnt bone
on new fallen snow.
