Pimp My Sketchbook
Yesterday I finally unpacked a box of junk that my mom had sent me from her garage. It had been sitting in my room for months, literally, and I just could't pull it together to go through it. Amid the photo albums (keep), old birthday cards (toss), stray tea bags (wtf? toss), and inexplicable sexy victoria secrets nightgown (not mine) was my old sticker book!

I "collected" stickers when I was around ten, which coincided conveniently with when the Santa Monica Mall opened a sticker store. Since I'm a natural packrat I of course never used any of these stickers so they are all still in the notebook. I think about 40% of them were of cats. Anyway, I decided to use all the shiny ones to decorate my Dr. Sketchy's notebook, and the results were a-mazing:

Wait, I don't think that conveys how shiny it is...

Yeah that's better.
I also did some sketches yesterday that came out okay. This one of McCarren Park:

I edited out all the hipsters. Colored pencils with a white highlight added to the fence posts and bench with Pro White. I like the effect so I also used it on this Humphrey Bogart sketch:

Oh, Bogey.
I have so much work to do... but first, breakfast!
