Posted on September 15, 2022 by Joe

Confronting Destiny

Dick Blick Licked

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Joe_Williams

I’ve put another sketchbook to rest. I’ve had this one for a while. I bought it from Dick Blick back in 2012. I think I bought it because I thought an 8 inch by 10 inch pad would be a … Continue reading →

Just Like Heaven

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Joe_Williams

A year ago I was polishing off what turned out to be one of my all-time favorite sketchbooks which I referred to as The Sketchbook from Heaven. I tried to find or, in some cases, make a replacement, but nothing … Continue reading →

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Joe_Williams
