Not Quite Heaven

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Sketchbook from Heaven • 1/22/2017 – 5/7/2017

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Going…going…

Posted on May 4, 2017 by Joe_Williams

The Sketchbook from Heaven is fading fast. I only have a couple of blank pages left as of this writing. I’ll soon be moving on to the sketchbook I cleaved in two in order to approximate the aspect ratio of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 15, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Here is another doodle with Derwent Dark Wash pencils. This one was done in a Canson XL Mix Media pad which I will be using regularly just as soon as the Sketchbook from Heaven is exhausted which I’m sad to … Continue reading →

Exhuming Dead & Buried while Drawing

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Joe_Williams

I returned to my Roku’s Amazon Video channel in order to bask in trash that I can halfway ignore while sketching. The great thing about Amazon’s Prime besides the expedited shipping is the addition of Prime video which is promoted … Continue reading →

There are those who believe…

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Lately, I’ve been watching trash and sketching, and I certainly watched some trash while completing the doodles in today’s post, but nothing really stood out as worth mentioning. There may have been something completely ignorable like Law & Order episodes … Continue reading →

Flash in the Pan

Posted on March 23, 2017 by Joe_Williams

More sketching and watching trash. This time thanks to the fantastic Plex App on my Roku box I am catching up on episodes of The Flash. I mainly thought of Plex as a means of streaming one’s own media, but … Continue reading →

Posted on March 21, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Being that my inexpensive but beloved Sketchbook from Heaven will soon be exhausted, I needed to find a replacement. A small, landscape sketchpad roughly the same size was proving impossible to find. The only solution was to make my own!

Sketching and Watching Trash

Posted on March 15, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Friends ask me if I’ve seen the latest episode of such-and-such or gorged myself upon the latest streaming series. They’re usually terrified or at least concerned for my well being when I admit to the crap that I actually pipe … Continue reading →

Which One is Pink?

Posted on March 11, 2017 by Joe_Williams

This post is sort of an addendum to my earlier post. It’s the digital cherry on my analog sundae.

Rumble in the Record Store

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Joe_Williams

Yeah, I’m back again with another doodle in the cheap sketchbook. What can I say? This torch that I found cannot be drowned. It seems that I haven’t enjoyed doodling this much since I was about five years old. Back … Continue reading →
