I’m back with It Came From the Sketchbook<\/em> and once again my subjects are The Teenage Beast<\/em> and the hapless punk rock gal<\/em>. I’m piecing together a story via sketchbooks which is fun and much more effective than jotting down notes in notebooks. In the notebooks which I have been keeping for decades, I’ll waste a lot of time pondering a character’s motivation or background. With the sketchbooks, I get right to the heart of the matter which is the scene. You don’t need to know what the punk rock girl had for breakfast that morning or that she got dressed in her AMC Pacer<\/em> in the parking lot of the punk club, but I have decades worth of notebooks filled with what I call “Look, Ma, I’m clever!”<\/em> details that come to life and die unread in cheap composition books. The drawing says monster closes in on girl<\/em> and the details tell the rest of the tale.<\/p>\n

It’s also a lot easier looking back at sketchbooks than it is reading the chicken scratch in my old notebooks some of which date back to junior high school. They are all “Look, Ma, I’m clever!”<\/em><\/p>\n

So things are not going well for our punk rock gal as she realizes that the cool guy that she never saw at the club before may be not so nice.<\/p>\n

This was drawn with a Sailor Fude De Mannen<\/em> fountain pen in a Fabriano 1264<\/em> mixed media pad.<\/p>\n
