INTRODUCTION TO MY SKETCHBOOKS



I have a plan to use this period of social distancing and home isolation to scan and post pages from my old sketchbooks.  Perhaps I will be able to provide a little on-line distraction and content for people at home and give myself some time to reflect on these.  I am still working out the processes and details of this endeavor; scanning, color correcting, posting, ordering chronologically...  So forgive these simple posts, I am not a writer, and barely a passable speller. I will post the pages in order as they appear in the sketchbooks as I work my way backwards through them. Not every page deserves public viewing, a few have private information, a few are just not good. But I will post as many pages as make sense to me in terms of sharing my use of sketchbooks in regards to my work and life as a visual artist.
  For the past decade I have used the  same style of sketchbook, Moleskine 'Carnet de croquis'. The one with the lavender label. You will see I occasionally work in a different sketchbook while also working in the Moleskine simultaneously. I will post those as they fit in chronologically.
