I have been experiencing a lot of trouble with my camera lately so when I met my husband at Seaport Village all I got was this very short video of Santa sweeping. It turns out I had a bad box of batteries. I didn't discover this until many many battery changes. I sketched a ship too but it was so cold I didn't sketch more than this: that's OK. It was a fun morning anyway.
This is the video I did while sketching at the Marston House in San Diego. The "audio swap" didn't work properly on You Tube so I just picked anything and hoped for the best.
The peace sign is painted with fabric paint and a paint brush. The black is done with a sharpie and the yellow around the peace sign is a spray fabric paint.

Stephen Sloan gave me one of his zines on stamp carving. The booklet is hand-stitched.
This is a "how to" of carving and also features a gallery of his carved portraits. He has been featured in rubber stamp maddness, eraser carvers quarterly and moonlight chronicles.
