story strands in my sketchbook project

I’m beginning the ink work on my sketchbook for the Brooklyn Art Library’s sketchbook project. I’m starting in the middle and working my way out. In my last post you saw me sewing the binding and adding a page that will fold out. The work you see in these photos is on that fold out page. It’s in the middle of the book.

The waiters are one of my story strands. The birthday party is another. The recipes are still another story strand. I’m doing my best to link them visually – non-verbally.  We’ll see how it goes. But it’s a fun experiment!  Photos of my most recent progress below.

  1. Wow! You have achieved so much already. I was hoping your dog illustrations might feature in your sketchbook project so I am happy to see them.

    1. Lol! Thanks! I’m trying a “new thing” in my working process too… instead of doing one page spread at a time I’m going through each page by character or element – even if the pages are mostly unfinished except for the one element or character.
