Sketchbook Project Part 3

I recently participated in The Art House Co-Op Limited Edition Sketchbook Project. The project is a collaborative series of art books created by 5000 artists from around the world. 

On page 2, that really is a drawing of my mom and my brother. My brother is wearing a pair of "goofy eyeball" novelty glasses. On the third page, the guys pictured next to me  are Travis Eck, Jeremy Johnson and Jeff Welborn.

This really happened. We tried to hang our art and we couldn't. The groundskeeper told us ahead of time that the hangers would be in a storage box in the lobby. When we got there, no box, no hangers. Nothing. We spent an hour searching the storage rooms trying to find them to no avail. It was lame.

Sketchbook Project Part 2

I recently participated in The Art House Co-Op Limited Edition Sketchbook Project. The project is a collaborative series of art books created by 5000 artists from around the world. 

This is part two of my Limited Edition Sketchbook Project. The topics of these journal comics are very basic and ordinary. I thought it might be interesting to be straight forward with the material and not make it "jokey." Basically, these strips are very much an illustrated journal of recent events from my life.

You can see actual photos of my Roofus Halloween decor here and here.

Sketchbook Project Part 1

I recently participated in The Art House Co-Op Limited Edition Sketchbook Project. The Sketchbook Project Limited Edition Vol. 1 is a collaborative series of art books created by 5000 artists from around the world. Once I filled out the entry form and paid my fee, the Art House Co-Op mailed me a blank sketchbook. I had to fill the entire sketchbook with artwork and return it on or before April 30, 2012.

Each blank sketchbook had a theme. My theme was "The Science of Story." There were no rules for this project. Participants were allowed to draw whatever they wish regardless of the supplied theme. The medium was up to the artist. Some participants filled their sketchbooks with photography; others painted. I chose to draw a series of autobiographical journal comics. I drew them digitally on my Cintiq. Once I printed the finished pages, I removed the blank pages from the supplied sketchbook and replaced them with my printed pages.

I'll be posting a few pages each day for your reading enjoyment. The photo was taken by photographer Jared Navarre.
