The top image is a t-shirt illustration that never went anywhere and the rest are recent sketchbook like drawings, though they are not in any sort of book. There was a time when I kept a regular sketchbook. Technology has changed all that. Now every thing is done on loose, scannable pieces of paper that are easily lost or ruined. Also, many are changed in photoshop.
I resisted computers, emails, and even the internet for years with what can only be described as willful ignorance. I fancied myself a purist though I often found more "primitive" ways to cheat my way through an image. It would be nice to be able to say that the computer is just another tool in the shed but it really has started to dominate the way I approach anything that I might think about posting here. The loss of sketchbooks is getting me down. It might be time to take a break from using photoshop for anything other than cropping and cleaning. humbug.

you can get a sketchbook that folds/scans easily, then keep the sketchbook and scan the "highlights" for wen use. that's what i try and do these days, just throwing as many loose, fast pieces in as possible before i lose the thing. oh yeah, call it a "skeetbook" too. that helps i think. i mean, pieces of paper are worthless, its the ideas that are important right? maybe. i don't know.

here's what you should REALLY do:

meld the best of both worlds by utilizing nanotechnology to its greatest benefits. have sensor chips and wireless transmitters installed at intervol throughout your fingers, so that all drawing/head-scratching/fingernail-biting will AUTOMATICALLY be recorded, and stored for later analysis and tweaking.

TOTALLY saves time on scanning.
