Sketches


Sketches are wonderful... whether as part of an exhibit in a gallery or in a friend's little blank book, sketches have a quality all their own. They tend to have a personality and freedom about them that draw me in.

I find my own sketchbooks to be a great journey through ideas. Old sketches can trigger ideas for new projects. I can also see a direction within a sketch that I want to carry through to other things... an energy, subject, or essence. I've recently purged a few old things and found myself flipping through old sketchbooks. Here are some findings from a sketchbook round about 2007-2008. I was in a very line focused phase as you will notice... 

Enjoy!
