pages from my sketchbook

late last night...after I had finished the Bright Star sketch...I opened up my green Moleskine again...

seeked out Frida...I have always been fascinated with this woman...as I think many artists are.

She was a beautiful,talented and very troubled lady...but she spoke what she believed. I admire this...

I know this sketch is a little off...her nose is all wrong...I blame it on the crazy hour of the night I quickly sketched it...I think it was 12.20AM...yeah...I wouldn't consider myself to be a night owl...but my Life right now  means I have to be one....if not I'd have nothing to post...and this blog wouldn't exist from this side of the Atlantic anyway.

My second sketch was of Frida painting...I decided to NOT use pencil first...I have to work on hands...I know I've said this before. I like this...she was a stunning lady.

Meet Edmund....he's a work in progress...he'll have a friend soon...her name will be revieled soon.

He's concerned about the Earth, and is studious...he loves to travel...he could change the World...just wait and see!

I can't give too much away as this is a book I'm illustrating for a good friend who has written SUCH a wonderful story...but I will show you little snippets along the way.

WHAT are you up to today? HOW are you decorating your place sweetly?

Off to make some HEART garlands...I'll be back...later...

Char,ON
