It’s been awhile since I posted a page right out of my sketchbook.  Here is one I just found.  I have no idea what I was working on, but I think it was something for Torontoist.

So sketchbooks. I am compulsive about them.  I am not a particular person ( I’m sort of a mostly easy going person) except when it comes to my sketchbooks.  I have some severe loyalty in the art supply store.  I have weird rules! Like: I can’t buy a sketchbook with any kind of drawing or photo on it - it kind of freaks me out to have someone else’s work where I am trying to think up ideas.  messed up!

 I love the Leuchttrum1917 books (haven’t tried them? DO IT).   I also love these all water-colour paper ones that have a coil spine that I get at gwartzman’s on spadina.  They are like 9 dollars and come with this really crummy paintbrush, but the paper is really great and they are fabric-wrapped cobalt blue, which is awesome.  They have no brand name (mysterious) or else I would tell you what it is!

Anyway, I am really weird about sketchbooks.
