Sketchbook pages

I started a new sketchbook/journal a few weeks ago, and so far it is just sketchbook and not journal, but that's okay. I've been painting and collaging in at midnight most nights it and having much fun:
(Remember the drawings, here?)



Right now I'm working on a piece called "Zebra's Cupcake" :-)

Oop. Clementine awakes . . .

    These are amazing. How do you do them? Do you make the designs on a computer? Do you cut things out of magazines? Do you paint/draw every little bit? Will you be willing to sell something like this? ;-)

    Hey fatsky! I've been up since 4;45 writing and just took a very happy "blog recess" catching up on your posts. I LOVE these journal pages!!!!! I can't wait to see them in person. They remind me of how I felt leafing through the Bulgaria scrapbook the first time when I opened it on my bday. I can't wait to see more!

    These are awesome. I've been trying to keep up with you and start journaling again myself. You're 'SketchJournal' looks like I always dreamed mine would. Alas, I have little drawing ability, though I try.

    On the note of collaging, I was wondering if you collect bits a pieces from all over - magazines, newspapers, etc - to later include in your collages. Since I'm a pretty amateur artist, I was thinking that bringing outstide images in might help fill in some of the gaps and ease frustration.

    Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Laini.

    Hi Laini - I really enjoyed your library gig today! Mentioned it to my wife, showed her your recently posted sketchbook stuff tonight. She was all, hey wait, weren't her and her husband featured in an article in the Oregonian back in November? Sure enough. Pretty cool. I love your writing and wonderful collages.

    Keep up the awesome work!

    It’s funny how the journal turned out to be a sketching journal. I must say it looks so beautiful.
