Sketch Book
L'inizio

Captured in many sketchbooks are the first gestures translated from daily imagery.  They are the simplest form of my original vision, and at times I prefer them to their grander painted compositions.  Most importantly is the learning process from start to finish.  It's a dissection of matter that may or may not exist in the real world.  With a 3B pencil or ball point pen there is a birth, and the study evolves as the stages of life do.  Eventually, everything has an end, but there's a magic in the illustrative and painted mementos left behind.
