Sketchbook: Changing of the Guard

March 5th - I finished my sketchbook. Filled. I started that one the day of my first invited audition with Cirque du Soleil in Chicago in early December of 2009. A day equally full of joy and heart-wrenching disappointment. A day blessed by a cascade of pigeon feathers from a feasting hawk. An event to be repeated in the summer the first time I ran through my first solo show in front of people in preparation for the show's premiere and my move back to New York City. A big year.

THE OUTGOING
Finished over coffee at my favorite neighborhood cafe with some shiny new markers I got a few days before...
A really great sketchbookfriend. Feel free to relive the magic.


THE INTERIM
A small book a carried for a few days between books. These prismacolor markers are so exciting...


THE NEW
Here, my new sketchbook is receiving its new armor. I love these type because it oscillates between white and beige pages. And its big enough to house my marker experiments. I've made a wax paper sleeve for the pages underneath so I won't mar things with bleedthrough. ...and so it begins...


SPEAKING OF SKETCHBOOKS...
Mine is in a truck with 10,000 others on the way to SXSW Saturday and Sunday. If you are in Austin for the festivities, check it out. Ask for mine by name. xx
