The Other Half

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Joe

Back in 2017, I had what I thought was a pretty good idea for replicating the size and shape of my beloved Sketchbook from Heaven by cleaving a 9-inch by 12-inch drawing pad into two 9-inch by 6-inch pads. It … Continue reading →

A Pretty Good Little Sketchbook

Posted on June 15, 2021 by Joe_Williams

Tina snagged this 5.5 inch by 8.5 inch Canson XL Mixed Media sketchbook from a big box store to hopefully replace my beloved Sketchbook from Heaven. It wasn’t quite the replacement for that cheap but inexplicably magical doodle pad, but … Continue reading →

Posted on March 18, 2020 by Joe

Posted on December 3, 2019 by Joe_Williams

I’m getting used to the fantastic art program for the iPad Pro called Procreate. It uses the Apple Pencil, and it has the most satisfying interface that I’ve used on a digital platform thus far. I’ve been doodling and playing … Continue reading →

Gone and Already Forgotten

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Joe_Williams

Another One Bites the Dust

Posted on May 9, 2019 by Joe_Williams

I finally finished off the juvenile sketchbook that I hoped would have the same magic as the Sketchbook from Heaven, but sadly, it did not. It wasn’t the worst sketchbook I ever carried, but at $3.00 for 150 sheets, you … Continue reading →
