My pen stopped working and I dropped some ink on this sketch while trying to revive it. I added colors from memory later.

A Kiss Before You Go

I am looking forward to this book by a friend and mentor - Danny Gregory:

Patrick Dougherty Installation - Palo Alto Arts Center

This sculpture by Patrick Dougherty in Palo Alto Arts Center is amazingly alive! About 20 feet tall with lots of ways to go through it, not to mention windows everywhere - it's not a maze and it's not a castle but I can certainly see it become both and much more!

November 2012: Patrick Dougherty Installation - Palo Alto Arts Center

I spent some time playing hide and seek in this installation this afternoon and then stopped to sketch, played some more and sketched some more...

It's been a while since I took my sketching gear to such outing and I enjoyed it very much! :)

November: Badger - Dinosaur

November 2012: farewell, pumpkins

Post-Halloween mood: we had a ton of fun carving these, got a special prize at competition and enjoyed them lit every evening for almost a week... but the time has come to save ourselves from the invasion of moldy monsters...

November 2012: Drawing in Small Increments

It seems like November so far is mostly covered with patchy sketching on different scraps of paper and at different everyday events. Lots of fast moving people for me to practice though :)

Let's Carve This one instead...

October-November 2012

When I started this sketchbook I wanted to have "color" background - it looks like craft paper but if you zoom in when drawing you can see little colorful fibers... and I love how this paper feels to draw on.. yet many spreads are filled with something I've done on a different scraps of paper and glued/taped/painted in :) Is it because I have some colorful tapes and stickers to play with?
