Sketchbook Time Machine

This is a page from Tuesday, July 7th, 2009  at 12:24 pm.  It is the first page of the book.  I had just finished 354 and 355 and was working on 356 and 357.  This was a small sketchbook, 5.5″ x 8.5″ it was a secondary sketchbook, one that got stuck in my bag and brought all over the place.  Surprisingly, there is only one coffee stain on this page.  It was was in circulation from 7/7/09 until 5/26/12.

Here are few I found interesting:

Purple

Some more ink drawings with purple.  I am use the On The Run Soultip .3″ with Liquitex “acrylic ink” which comes in my favorite paint colors.  This is Dioxazine Purple and Sap Green.

Sketchbook Time Machine

I was looking through some old sketchbooks this morning and decided to post a page from the past.  This page is from April 12th, 2008. I had finished #278 the week before and was working on #279.

Here is a close up on one that caught my eye:

204 drawings in 1:42

Here is a another set of sequenced drawings.  This time 204 black and white drawings in 1:42.

131 color ink drawings in 1:05

I put some of my recent tri-color ink drawings in sequence.  Flipping through them rapidly really shows the similarities and differences between each of the figures.

Short video of me drawing

I have been meaning to post some videos for awhile.  This will give you an idea of the speed most of my drawings are made.  12 drawings in about 43 seconds, 10 seconds to record the date and time.  More soon.…

Tricolor drawings

I just uploaded a whole bunch of new work to the drawings page.  I am calling these tricolor because I filled a pen (empty Molotow 227) with a bright orange acrylic ink, then dipped the tip in a dark green ink.  The effect is that the line starts our dark, mixes with the orange and then becomes orange.  It allows me to use different colors without breaking the line or using multiple lines.  Some of the drawings from 8/5/12 are multi-line but everything from 8/10/12 is single line with the colors mixing on the pen nib.  …
