Journals

This is a big, ancient scrapbook with fairly thick and absorbent pages. I work in it from time  to time, generally with a dip pen and sumi ink.

This is a fairly large journal, a Fabriano Venzia Art Book that’s 12″ by 9″. I did all the drawings with Sakura Pigma Micron Pens, Black Ink and  washes of sumi ink. The writing on the left-hand pages is done with a dip pen and black India ink. The first group of drawings are from [...]

I drew and painted these images in a small watercolor moleskine while on a family vacation to Amsterdam. They are painted with a small watercolor set and a waterbrush. They drawings are all done from life, often in a mild drizzle. Click on the first picture and they will all open as a gallery which [...]

I spent three weeks in Rome, sitting on a small folding stool and drawing  in a Canson Montval Field Watercolor Book. I drew with Sakura Pigma Micron Pens, Black Ink , then discovered Faber Castell PITT Artist pens.  I painted with a small watercolor set and a waterbrush. It was heaven. Click on the first [...]

I devoted a large Moleskine watercolor book to portraits of criminals, painted from mugshots. Some are watercolor, others are sumi ink.

Three weeks in Tuscany yielded two small watercolor moleskines full of drawings done with Tombow brush markers.

Over Christmas vacation, I used my old standby, a Fabriano Venzia Art Book that’s 6″ by 9″. All the black line is India ink applied with a dip pen. The paint is all watercolor with a touch of sumi ink.

A fairly early moleskine sketch journal  (3 1/2 by 5 1/2) with halting use of color, I was into collage back then, pasting in gum wrappers and miniature photos from a Polaroid i-Zone camera. The later pages were filled on a drawing trip to Chicago with my pal, d.price.

A record of a week or two in Israel, a visit to my grandfather. Made with watercolor and various pens and lots of ambivalence  about a country in which I spent three years of my childhood.

A very early journal, bound by me with heavy bond pages (fancy foil stamp on the cover!). Drawings done with various pens, some Micron, some Rapidograph. Writing in brown ink with a dip pen. Spot color done with brush pens.
