how to make a journal of your life

I’ve been reading a tiny book with that title, by Danny Price.

I’d been wanting it for some time, and I finally got it last week.   There’s not much to read.  It’s lots of sketchy drawings which the artist drew over the course of years, I’m guessing, and put them in the book, along with tips [...]

30 places – a hotel room

Making quick sketches seems to be no problem.  I am able to sketch just about anywhere, and make quick work of it, if I choose.

Yesterday, we went and met my parents in Stroudsburg for a late lunch, while they were on a weekend getaway from New York City.  Afterwards, we went and hung out in [...]

30 places – the homework spot

Fabio is so close to being done with school.  He is taking his last 2 classes, and then he needs to do 2 quick write-ups to get a couple other credits, and it’s bachelor’s degree, here we come.  We’re so excited for the new year with no homework.

Meanwhile, for the past several months, he parks [...]

30 Places – Graffiti(one of my favorite places)

So instead, I drew my plate (place) setting, even though I didn’t have a place yet.

It was a [...]

30 places – sunday school

Not the people, the room.

I still feel weird when I sketch there, cause the people don’t know me, and I don’t know them.  I feel like I’m doing something wrong, even though I’m not.  Some people just assume you’re not paying attention.

30 places – In my head

A looser interpretation, this is “the place in my head” idea. It’s also a delayed post, cause I was tired and finished it in the middle of the night, with a slight touch-up this afternoon.  I need to work on the next one..

I’m not thrilled with the execution.  I didn’t bother to look in the [...]
