Sketchbook Fever

Anyone who's into sketchbooking knows it can be feverishly addictive. This practice has lead me on some very strange free-associative tangents. Here are some recent spreads.

filled with rich visual or literary information.”

Going Postal (Part Deux)

Here's another taste of my ongoing series  inspired by postage stamps from around the world. I applied guache, sumi ink, charcoal, and colored pencils to 4" by 6" sheets of watercolor paper. To paraphrase the Grateful Dead, this project is taking me on a very "long strange trip".  I hope you'll stay with me on this one.
