Sketchbook Project 2011 Progress
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010For those of you who don’t know, I’m participating in the Art House Coop’s Sketchbook Project this year. That’s what the little doo-hickey on my sidebar is all about.
I received my sketchbook last week. My theme is “It’ll be fun, I swear.”
So far, I’ve just been playing around with simple pen drawings and watercolor. I’m going to try to make it more about hand-lettering than anything.
Here’s some photos of my progress for this week. I’m going to scan each page in when they’re finished so I have a digital copy since I have to mail it in and they get to keep it in their archives. It will travel across the country. How cool is that?
Right now I’m keeping it on my kitchen table so I can work on it while I’m cooking dinner rather than munching on things. Good plan, eh?
this pretty much sums it up
Saturday, July 24th, 2010additional entry for Diary 2010 project
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009I had sent in an entry for the Diary 2010 Project a while back and I got an e-mail a few days ago from the organizer asking if anybody would like to do a 2nd page.
So, in the spirit of recent events and my latest re-surfaced obsession, I snagged June 25th (I really wanted August 29, but that was taken). I decided to make a memorial-type page. Something subtle. Typography only.
If you remember, the diary is in 3 languages… English, French and Spanish. Also in black only.
Here’s what I came up with in 15 mins over lunch today.
hmmm on second thought, I should resize “forever” so the “f” is on the page more. Also, the size of the bullet on the bottom between my websites kind of bothers me. Too big!
Anyway, I like it. I like my original entry better, but I’m glad I got another date that meant something to me.
