Art Journal

Lately I've been keeping an "everything" notebook. In it are my traffic school notes (yeah, I got my first ticket...joy to the world),

appointment dates, sketches, to-do lists, financial information…

and Sub-Zero's Kombos and Finishing Moves for Mortal Kombat 3...eclectic, if nothing else. Smiling

 

It had been a rather long time since I did any "real" art. Whatever that is. I just decided to draw.

The pressure to please others or produce "real" art has been keeping me from doing any art at all,

so lately I've been doing rough sketches in a ratty notebook with a mechanical pencil, not knowing for sure what would happen.

Sometimes I used a model; sometimes I didn't. It just happened.

I don’t make any promises about more to come or about turning these sketches into “finished” works of art. 

They are what they are.  Still, I thought I would share them with you.
