60- Alice- Through the Looking Glass

The typefaces and patterns (Stone Lettering 1742-1856 and Albrecht Durer Gothic Capitals) I am using for my 'Alice- Through the Looking Glass' drawing series. I decided to use the finished drawings for my Project Sketchbook sketchbook for the Brooklyn Art Library. Stay tuned!!

59- The Sketchbook Project

I bought myself a sketchbook as part of The Sketchbook Project created by the Brooklyn Art Library.
I am excited to start this adventure, and I must get it back by August 15th. This is part of volume 16. There are a few themes to pick from. I have yet to title my book or pick a theme. I am hoping to post about my progress each week. We will see if I make that happen ;)

I did post on instagram about it this morning:

57- New drawing series

I started a new drawing series over the summer, but life got me distracted, so I didn't get too far. The new series will be 24 drawings. There will be 2 sets of 12, and they are based on the chapter titles from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

This link will show the prep and research pic I took when deciding on the color combos for each piece:
