Moleskine 5.0 Part 1

Happy New Year everyone.

It's been a pretty busy year so far. Lots of deadlines keeping me from posting more regularly. They're also keeping me from regularly sketching in my Moleskine. I started this in May 2008. I'm about two thirds of the way through it. There a a lot of work-related sketching in this one. And lots of messes.






The page on the right is my girl-friend Rebecca Silvers taking over a page (and then showing much concern after I told this would make it online one day).



Some short sketches form the Society of Illustrators. If you look close enough you can pick out arms, hands and faces.


These are some sketches for a project for Dover about the Greek and Roman Gods (I'll be posting some examples in the near future).






On the right a compsition sketch for another Dover project.


More messes from the Society of Illustrators.




Goofing off at an art retreat in October 2008.




The sketch on the Right was done from reference stolen from Greg Manchess while at the art retreat.




A bad drawing of Rebecca (in which she looks like Sandra Bernhardt) which is SO not the case.



I went to Chicago on Halloween weekend to check out my best friend Lana Crooks' Solo Show. There the sticker from the Field Museum to prove it.


This sticker was my pass to draw at the NYC Veterans Affairs hospital. This was a volunteer event organized by Joan Chiverton in mid December. A few illustrators from the Society got together and drew the patients at the VA Hospital to try to ease their pain. We gave them the portraits afterward, but I managed to take a few shots and will post them in the near future as well. This was a great event and I may get another chance to participate next week.





Also, Today I posted my 600th Nude on Nude of the Day.
