Sketchbooks (revisited)

The guys capture of movement is great. He makes it look easy.

I picked up an accordion fold Moleskin this spring while I was driving across the country and started sketching on every other page.

Chiara has the sketchbook now and is filling out the rest. She's embossing the covers with aluminum supposedly. Whether she'll ever finish it is another matter.

Since then I've fallen in love with Moleskins.

I stopped "paying" for sketchbooks years ago.. I just find scrap paper, staple, and fold in half to make my sketchbooks. Lots of cereal box covers. Haha..

I haven't scanned my last dozen or so.. here is an older flickr set of some of them:

Via Drawn.ca, a while ago. His gas can desktop is probably my favorite out of the 600+ in my collection.

I gotta say that I've had a resurgence of interest in drawing via this podcast. The guy behind it has interviewed a number of the folks that will be in his book, An Illustrated Life, which will be coming out this fall.

Yup, he's pretty damn good! Thanks for posting the link! I love how French folks say "stuffs".
