New Artwork – Ian Rogers – My Sketchbook

This time I took my inspiration from the meat specials in the weekly flyers from my local grocer, using some pencils, some watercolour, & some gesso. French steak was $3.99 a  pound. I love how flyers use so many fonts and are so up in your grill. I hope I captured that.

I’ve mentioned before that like to use Moleskines because they hold up to a pretty fair amount of abuse, and I certainly put the book through its paces today. There was some bleed through at the seams and the previous page but hey, it’s a sketchbook, not the Sistine Chapel. You can get Moleskines with a more absorbent cold press finish (watercolour paper) or the version I go for that’s more hot press finish (smooth) but if you like to beat the heck out of your sketchbooks and are looking for a nice pocket-style book, you can always get a Moleskine  for yourself.
