Stuff

Nothing like a new toy to start up some "art". I went out today and spent some money [that I don't have] on these toys [that I don't need]. I bought a beautiful leather sketchbook with amazing recycled cream colored paper and walnut ink. If only I could post the smell of these new things. I love the organic warm feel of walnut ink. I made two sketches with it so far, those awful warped hands and a self portrait, I always butcher my nose for some reason. It does bleed through the page more than I thought it would so I guess I'll have to just work on one side... we'll see. I think I'm going to try and use a brush to do larger portions of color so I can shade some more.

I discovered a new artist today, or rather I learned the name of the artist I've admired for a month or so already. His name is Yoav and we have been playing his CD Charmed & Strange in the store for a while and every time the song Club Thing comes on I think, "man I've got to find out who that is!" He's amazing check him out... maybe I'll post his video it's sort of awesome as well.
