Inktense Colored Pencils on Moleskine.
Day 14 was a wash. (although there’s one hour left). Vday, Arts League meeting (I’m on the board), catching up on articles leaves little time for the fun stuff..

Again, something a little different. drawing, but not so realistic. Played with Derwent Inktense pencils & Sharpie Poster Paint pens.
Drawn while basking in the lovely music from Bill Mallonee live at Rhythm & Hues in Marietta, GA.
Day 3 of the Chicago notebook.
Finished the inside front cover this afternoon. I wasn’t sure at first if I liked the busy colors and lines after the more muted pencil work from yesterday’s photo, but I think it works.
Above the large Chicago is the city’s flag, which covers up the “reward if found” lines which grace the inside cover of every Moleskine. I figure contact info can end up somewhere else inside the book.
I was almost tempted to draw a little Loch Ness-style monster swimming in the depths of Lake Michigan, but I’m not sure if there have been any sightings of any such creature in any of the Great Lakes. Any residents of the Midwest out there who can help clue me in?
Now on to the organization and tabbing of pages, and then the scribbled info: itinerary, restaurant listings, museum hours, etc. Fun times, fun times.
The Chicago Notebook, Day 2.
Decorating the inside front cover with vinyl sticker letters and a not-so-accurate map, sketched in freehand from a tourist guidebook. When I get it all colored in and cleaned up, I’ll try scanning this.
Just under the wire, getting this post up right at midnight Mountain Time!
