After trimming about 50 images and putting together the beginnings of a book I realized I’m not following the rules. I’m supposed to be making a sketchbook, not an Artists Book of photographs.

I had some fun with pairings, like I had the fidgety young monks sketched in Simtokha Bhutan next to a photograph of a Buddha I had taken in Las Vegas.
Chairs or sitting seems to be the subject matter. I could draw one hundred chairs. I’ve got a lot of drawing to do. Maybe I take out the photoraphs and intermingle new chair drawings with past sketches. That wayI could go around the world while sitting in my chair at home.

It’s fascinating watching this develop – I think it still qualifies as a sketchbook.

I’m glad you said that Richard because after taking out all the photographs I said to myself – heck I liked what was happening. I’m going back to what I was doing. I may add some words like ‘when’ or maybe an adverb or two .I don’t know.

That’s part of being an artist. LOL

This is great…I say, go for it, break the rules! LOL. I participated in the Sketchbook project last year, and had a blast doing it. In fact, I reconstructed my entire journal…super fun!!

Hi again Carla. I love the juxtaposed images! If you’re a Facebook user we’d really appreciate it if you would “like” the RAXA Collective page. See you there!
