The Sketchbook Project

Written by:

I wrote an 11 page review (including pictures) of The Sketchbook Project show at iam8bit.  It’s the longest thing I’ve written in a while.  It is too long.  I’m going to edit it and repost it.  Probably.

    Your colorful artist rendering of the show is wonderful! I attended LA show the second evening.

    Holy shit that is incredible depth/perspective you created with those cut-outs!!! Using the different sizes like that and the stairs and walls!!! NICE!!!

    Also, count me in for making a sketchbook for 2013! That sounds fun!!

    mine just came in the mail! i don’t know if i’m going to backwards plan the use of the pages or just sketch in it from the beginning and see where it goes…probably the latter considering how my plans normally work out

    Nice to meet you too! I appreciate the idea of moving on. Sometimes I won’t let something go, so I end up doing nothing at all.

    Thank you! Collages provide so many options for ways to organize the composition of an image!

    Awesome! I haven’t seen a really cool collage for a while. maybe you should animate it? I find animating things (as time consuming as it can be) usually ends up being really rewarding and often takes your work down unexpected paths.

    Thanks for checking out and following my blog too, you are my first follower!

    Your concepts and execution are highly complementary. I don’t feel there’s anything forced about your work. It’s very fluid, natural and unselfconscious.
    Very refreshing and uplifting.

    How fun! I really like to collage…. this reminds me of creating similar works of art when I was younger…and I’m gradually doing it again.
