Bars are always good for studying human nature, at its best or worst (and all the in-betweens). Poor TL, Thursday evening. When I stopped in, she was dealing with a lot of douche-baggery— I hope they tipped her well to make up for that guy whose card wouldn't go through, yet insisted on putting up a… Continue reading Drawings from the moleskine
Replaced a gel-ink pen I lost last weekend; nice for smearing, getting some greyscale tones. These seem to really want some color, but I'd forgot to bring my half pans with me last evening. I may yet revisit and paint them, though.

(Aside, it appears there's some red ink on my scanner bed— same place each scan. Note to self: time to razor and windex the scanner glass.) More sketchy sketches after the jump.>>… Continue reading Some Moleskine sketches from recent weeks
I bought a new sketchbook last week. It's not filled with paper; the description on the back explains it "is made up of 80% calcium carbonate and 20% non-toxic resins." The pages have a feeling similar to vellum, but extremely smooth. I tested in the shop with some markers, and they were very painterly on it,… Continue reading A Substrate of Stone
