Description
In my early years of studying graphic design, I took this notebook everywhere. I was young and broke, unable to afford even the books and magazines that I read for tutorials. I went through a phase where I copied everything I could find relating to graphic art: step-by-steps, layouts, concepts⦠anything I could take home and use as a reference when working on my big clunky primitive computer. Eventually I got a laptop, but I like to keep this journal as a reminder of the passion I had, and always try to maintain.Many of the tribal sketches shown here were eventually scanned and refined in Illustrator: [link]

Excellent journal. You should check out [link] - they put on some really interesting sketchbook shows in Brooklyn. used to be in Atlanta, but moved on up the ladder - now they've gone international. They're interesting in general for what they're doing - getting everyone involved in making. No judgments, no juries.

Your passion shows. Even after seeing only the geek wallpaper and the introduction of yourself on your main page I could tell you have talent. Then I looked at your gallery, which proved to me that my guess was spot on. You, my friend, have mad game!
Much respect and admiration.

Love that kind of passion.
As a young broke artist in NYC, I would work on found cardboard, and sometimes use mustard and red wind for color.
Funny, how we always had money for cheap wine 'tho.
