I’ve had a lot of fun in this sketchbook so far. I’ve been using cheap spiral sketchbooks for a looong time and finally pivoted to a nicer one. it’s fun to use ink and paint without the paper disintegrating, and to let pieces cross the gutter

going to start posting some sketchbook spreads :-)

the egg bar is coveted as fuck

the rest of them, plus a touch of color and collage (2/2)

made some tiny ink paintings as gifts this year ✒️ (1/2)
