When I began my first travel themed journal I filled it with the souvenirs I'd brought from my trips. Because back then I would never draw in front of people, and so I could draw the souvenirs from the privacy of my own home. In fact, when I made my second little zine I wrote inside "I am a reluctant public sketcher. Actually, that is a big fat understatement. The thought of drawing in public fills me with horror". That was about three years ago.

 And, here I am today. drawing on planes, and in airports, cafes, parks and streets. I made the sketches, above, on the way back from France. I was sat with a really nice French guy who watched me draw through the whole flight. He commented on my sketches and even suggested the passengers who I should draw. The guy who is asleep in the middle of the page was looking over my shoulder at what I was doing (when he'd woken up, obviously!) and the flight attendant came over to take a look. I didn't mind. At all.

 I don't know what has changed in a relatively short space of time. I'm certain it's not one thing. Sure, my confidence has grown and I worry less that people will think my work is rubbish. When I reflect on how far I've come it inspires me to keep on going. And, to keep pushing myself in directions that I never thought I'd go. Roads I never thought I'd travel down. Learning as much as I can to become the best illustrator that I can be. 'Cos, I love drawing. It's as simple as that really; I just love drawing.

Stunning line art from “A new Shade of Black” for the Moleskine Project 2. The balance of detail, negative space and linework make this sketch easy on the eyes. Love the different textures as well, thanks Alex!

If you’re interested in the Moleskine Project II, I wrote up this to explain my ideas and thoughts behind it.



Opening Dec 6th, 2012 at Spoke Art Gallery, San Francisco, the Moleskine Project #2 is a group exhibition that features a spread page taken from the sketchbooks of more than 50 artists from around the world. It brings together a broader network of sketchbooks from renowned illustrators, concept artists, oil painters and more.

Many of the artists know each other through online communities formed over the past ten years, where sketchbooks were shared regularly in order to learn, grow and become inspired by one another. Motivated to dive deeper into our own sketchbooks, each page charted our own artistic journeys. Within the unified format of this collective sketchbook, a visual dialogue is exchanged from artist to artist, page to page, forming a colourful language of imagery, technique and ideas.



These pages often have an intimacy that strips bare the usual restrictions of polished work, drawing us even closer to the raw, personal realms of each artist. This show is a tribute to the power of sketchbooks to influence and inform others as well as ourselves, and offers fresh insight into a passionate and dedicated group of artists.



The Moleskine Project II opens Thursday, December 6th at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco. Co-curator Rod Luff and many of the artists from the exhibit will be in attendance.

Featuring:
Akira Beard, Allison Sommers, Andrew Hem, Barron Storey, Bec Winnel, Brett Amory, C3, Carl Dobsky, Casey Weldon, Charles Santoso, Chris B Murray, Christian Macnevin, Christine Wu, Cody Miles, Craww, Dave Correia, Erik Siador, Henrik Uldalen, Hsiao Ron Cheng, Jason Hernandez, Jason Hong, Jenn Porecca, Jeremy Enecio, Jeremy Hush, Jeremy Mann, Jessica Hess, Justin “Coro” Kaufman, Karla Ortiz, Keita Morimoto, Kemp Remillard, Ken Garduno, Kikyz1313, Laura Bifano, Marco Mazzoni, Mike Dringenberg, New Shade of Black, Nicomi Nix Turner, Nimit Malavia, PJ Matthews, Rafael Sarmento, Rich Pellegrino, Robert Bowen, Rod Luff, Ryan Lee, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Serge Gay Jr., Sergio Lopez, So Youn Lee, Tatiana Suarez, Tran Nguyen, Ville Ericsson, Wesley Burt, Xiau-Fong Wee and Zach Oldenkamp

It's taken a little time, after the Clermont Ferrand exhibition, to start getting back to normal. There's so much to process. So many exciting potential opportunities. That's the thing about an event like that (actually, there are not many events like that), it's not just the taking part and the sharing of you work whilst you are there. It's also all the little acorns you plant in people's minds and memories.

These are the things I have been pondering as I've done three loads of laundry today.

Oh, and if you are interested, there's a lovely little review about the Clermont exhibition, by my new sketching friend Omar Jaramillo, on the Urban Sketchers website HERE.

 For those who have asked, over the course of last weekend, I do indeed sell greetings cards with my drawings on. Well, I personally don't but Moo.com do. And, there's 30% off until next Monday. With an offer like that I'm getting some myself!
They sell a range called 'have you got a pen?' which include these drawings amongst others. Here are the links; greetings cards, postcards and mini Moos.

And don't forget these limited edition Andrea Joseph bracelets are also available at Wristpix.
 
Excuse me for peddling my wares. But, I haven't done it for sometime. You'll forgive me, won't you? Cheers.

The evening after I got back from France I went to a Dr. Sketchy event in Sheffield. It was called 'Drawn of the Dead' and  had a very spooky zombie theme.
After the high of the exhibition in Clermont Ferrand, and the way I've been feeling recently, it was EXACTLY what I needed.
 Not only did I get to play with my pens but also got to catch up with my sketching buddies, which was long overdue.
Really, really, enjoyed the evening. But, then, I always enjoy Dr. Sketchy. Music, wine, friends, drawing and zombies. What's not to like?

Hello folks. Once again, I am apologising for the lack of recent activity on my blog. I'm not blaming my drawing funk this time, but I do have a good excuse. I have been in France exhibiting my work at the wonderful Rendez-Vous du Carnet de Voyage exhibition. A big HELLO to all the lovely people I met there and a big THANKS for showing such an overwhelming interest in my work. There is nothing better than being able to share my sketchbooks with people 'in the flesh', so to speak. Nothing.

Anyway, more on that shortly. I need to unpack and catch up with my mail and all that stuff that goes on when you are in another world and another country. For now, here's a drawing I made on the plane back home.

A bit of fan art I've been working on for a while on the side.  Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Lady Rainicorn.  My goal was to make someone smile, please let me know if it worked!
