Despite there being a couple of spreads left in this sketchbook I’ve decided to retire it. It’s served me well and as I’m leaving for the holidays tomorrow, it feels like leaving it as is and beginning my next sketchbook in the new year just makes sense.
I’ve had many sketchbooks over the years and I’ve come to accept that they are finished when I decide. Weather I just don’t like the sketchbook or it just has too many pages like this one, forcing myself to finish a sketchbook will only create negative feelings towards my art and my sketchbooks. The sketchbook is amazing and I adore it, tho since I’m so used to sketching A5 moving on to a much bigger sketchbook made getting through it much more tiring. I find the size and shape more complementary to how I work so my next one is a similar size but with half the pages so hopefully I will be able to avoid the art drain.

Ran across an old sketch I did 😆 I remember being super proud of it, but looking at it now I just find it a bit creepy looking 😂 ~•~•~ #art #myart #oldart #sketch #sketchbook #oldsketchbook #pencil #portrait #artistsofinstagram (at Newport, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyjJupuUG_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Throwback to this augmented sketch-from-life of Gali, circa 2012. I didn't date it (or most drawings back then) but the hat and monocle certainly place it in a specific internet Zeitgeist. He's been my little buddy and live model for just over 10 years! #10yearsago #oldart #cat #catsofinstagram #oldsketchbook #happylatebirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcIsWALu41/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sketchbook draw pt1
Sketchbook 1
June- July 2019
My first sketchbook, well the one I consider my first. I had many before this but this was the first that was truly my own. It wasn’t for school, college or university, and it wasn’t constantly being tampered with by my siblings.
Started in June of 2019 during my gap year a few months before I started university. I hadn’t drawn or created since I finished college but I had a major creative itch. I began my obsession with tattoos specifically American traditional tattoos and tarot and oracle cards. This was the true beginning for where my creative practice began and presents the roots for the work I create today. It may be my worst sketchbook but it’s also the most nostalgic.
