Collage

This spread from one of my sketchbooks has a old rejected Kwik-Print contact sheet paired with some birch bark. This uncovered sketchbook was filled in on a camping trip.

This week's page from one of my many sketchbooks. I really like the colors and composition of this page.

This week's random spread from one of my journals. It seemed to be a good image for celebrating 3 years of these (almost) weekly posts.

This week's spread from one of my journals features an image from a book (actually a trio of books) in progress and a sketch for a movie character.

Another random page from one of my sketchbooks.

The text "regained innocence" and one of my octolomo pictures combine to make a very graphic spread in this page from one of my sketchbooks.

This week's page from one of my sketchbooks has memorabilia from a trip to Chicago to see my amazing mother-in-law get married.

This week's page from one of my sketchbooks has a portrait of a neighbor of mine in collage. It illustrates a story she told me about a cicada she found in her underwear drawer. She had a thing for Jesus Christ and Johnny Cash -- "the two JCs" -- and she called herself Bill.

This week's collage from one of my sketchbooks features a Tzara-style short poem.

This week's random journal page includes this Saul Bellow quote, "When the striving ceases, there is life waiting as a gift."
