I've been playing with etch a sketches again.

Sorry I've been gone for a while. I haven't done too much sketching in the past month or so. I did a little bit, though, which I will be posting over the next week or so as I begin preparations to do some serious sketching.

I bought a green cased etch a sketch, which is pretty cool, but unfortunately it doesn't work so well. I did this little thing the night I got it like a month ago.

Washington square park in about 15 minutes. I liked the old park better.

I still like on-the-subway, nonstop-knob-turning, five minute drawings.

Renegade Craft Fair

2009-06-02T23:41:00.002-04:00

Hey kids, come to the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend in McCarren Park. It's going to be sick. I will be sharing a booth with two talented ladies [check them out here: www.bellehelmets.com, and here: http://prologuebyshawna.blogspot.com/]. Our booth is called Table of Contents. We'll be somewhere close to the corner of Bayard St. and Lorimer St. Come say hi. Also, buy stuff.

I got some new etch a sketches in the mail. I did these two on the small one the night it came.

I successfully attempted the permanentization procedure last night for the first time on this sketch. As it is the first permanent sketch it is also the first one for sale.

This one's not that great, but I like it. I utilized it for some album cover art:

buy stuff?

2009-02-10T01:13:00.000-05:00

People tell me I could make money, that I should sell my drawings. I do want to start keeping some of them instead of just taking pictures and then shaking them up. I must learn the art of making the sketches permanent. So I guess starting real soon most of the sketches you see will probably be for sale.

I do commissions too, perhaps. Tell me what you want me to sketch, and maybe I will do it for you for a reasonable price.

Revival

2009-02-03T11:50:00.000-05:00

I've decided to revive this blog. I want to start playing with my etch-a-sketches again. It won't be so much 'etch-a-sketch-a-day', but more like 'etch-a-sketch-a-month'. First some old sketches I never got around to posting.

first full-sized sketch

2008-07-10T20:46:00.001-04:00

The same day that I decided to start taking pictures I also decided to buy a full-sized etch a sketch. I wandered around Manhattan in the pouring rain for a while looking for a place to buy one. Mission finally accomplished, soaked, on the subway ride home, I drew this.

This one sat on my desk for about two weeks because I didn't want to erase it. That's when I decided to start taking pictures.

Hi.

2008-07-07T22:46:00.000-04:00

I recently started playing around with an etch a sketch.

I mostly just sketch while waiting for and on the train. I've been taking pictures of each drawing.

Someone said I should put them on the internet.
