Recent Date Stamps and Logos
I use my sketchbook journal (at least this year's) to experiment and play with typefaces, logo design, and mini-stamps. This image has been painstakingly edited and de-worded out of the page it was on. Isn't Photoshop great? Is art fun? Is work fun? The thing is, I keep doing it no matter how un-fun it is. But wait! I plan to color some of these in. That should be fun. Even if I'm not really doing professional work (art for $) these days. Wasn't that fun? I think I finished what I was working on. 4 AM here, time to publish blog and do something else.

Bright Autumn 1998
Looking through my image files on this Blog I've found countless studies of autumn leaves but not this one from my Lavishly Illustrated 1998 Sketchbook. I remember doing this while I sat at a picnic table next to the library nearby. These trees are at a park where I spent many a restful hour. I don't do as many of these sketches of foliage as I used to, it all seems the same to me. But the leaves were especially bright that year, and also this one.

Loblolly Pine 1998
I drew this handsome Loblolly Pine at a campsite where I was stopping for a short rest on my way back from Florida in January of 1998. These trees grow widely in the southeastern USA and are used by the timber industry. They are also grown for wood in greenhouses. I haven't identified any Loblollies where I live, but I'll keep a watch out for them.
