February 24: number fourteen

Yesterday I got started on my fourteenth sketchbook. I've been thinking about trying painting for a little while now, and I've had a couple tubes of gouache lying around, so I figured I'd do something different for sketchbook #14. So here it is.



Came out pretty cool looking, I think. A lot of texture and a lot of color that I've never really had a chance to work with, so it was a lot of fun to just mess around with the medium for a bit. Hope you guys like.

February 21: omigodwhathehelldidijustdo

Today, I signed up for this. 500 sketchbooks sent to the first 500 people who sign up, and I happen to be one of them. For a small entry fee of $13 I'll be getting a 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch, 64-page Moleskine notebook (which I've always thought about getting but never have) to fill with sketches centered on the theme "How to Change the World". Sounds pretty cool, right? Well I thought so.

And once all 500 sketchbooks are done, they're going to be put on display at the Art House gallery in Atlanta, GA, my hometown. So that's pretty bitchin'; draw some cool shit and get it shown in Atlanta. 13 bucks well spent, in my opinion.

So yeah, I'm sure that once that thing comes I'll start posting little bits and pieces of what I come up with. And then you can all get to Atlanta and check it out in real life!
