San Diego Urban Sketchers at Amici Park January, 2015

this is my sketch and our video from the San Diego Urban Sketchers Meetup in Little Italy.

Book Making

2 books I made today. Book on the left is a watercolor sketchbook using the method my friend Stephen Sloan taught me. The book on the right is perfect binding from the book, Making Handmade Books, Alisa Golden. It is a book made with very light weight board covered with Christmas paper. Inside are all of the Christmas cards I received that had photographs on them.

Chess set at Myrtle Creek Nursery

There is a huge cement chess set at the Myrtle Creek Nursery in Fallbrook where the San Diego Urban Sketchers met today. This is my ink sketch of the set.

Weekend Sketch Crawlers at Westfield Mall Food Court

Westfield Mall, Food Court

The food court has changed.. A LOT. It seems to seat more people and has a little area that looks cozy with plants and nice chairs.

This is a snack stand I sketched while on an outing with the San Diego Sketch Crawlers.

Relief carving

This is a "relief carving" I created at a workshop held at the San Diego Museum of Art. It was carved in clay, lopsided and just a waste. The workshop was not what I had in mind but I just can't throw this little bird away. I finally painted it today. Poor thing.
