[I am reposting this post as part of Seth's Buried Treasure project on his blog The Altered Page.]
[The best way I can think of revisiting the past is to look through my old sketchbooks, so this image came immediately to mind.]
My sketchbooks are a source of comfort and pleasure. Whenever I feel bored or unsure about a situation, or when I plain don't feel like being sociable, I know that, in my purse, a world of escape awaits. They are my memory of events I enjoyed, my record of places visited, my outlet for what can't always quite be said in words.
Great sketch!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about my idea books which are filled to the brim with sketched ideas and thoughts.
Thanks for posting this one! I've only one - It's getting old and worn out, but I revisit it occasionally as I have BLANK PAGES in it. Are these filled???
ReplyDeleteI always have a sketch book with me, and I go back to them over and over, they hold all those random thoughts that just pop in and out of my head, tangents from work I am making, places to revisit when I am stuck in the studio, couldn't live without them!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice- selecting your sketchbook artwork. Very different and makes me want to quickly pick up a journal and start to draw. THanks for this wonderful trigger of a thought!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant website, I had not come across the-hyphenate.blogspot.com earlier during my searches!
ReplyDeleteCarry on the superb work!
