down a different path

I’ve decided to change the purpose of this blog a little bit. It will still be home for my drawings and paintings, as well as reviews of art books, supplies, etc.

However, I’ve decided that – instead of participating in Illustration Friday – I would rather attempt to keep my drawing ideas “free form”. I will attempt to draw daily (or at least various times throughout the week).

The subject of my art will be just about anything, although my focus will mainly be on “everyday things” that I see around the house, or on my travels. Of course, if my artwork happens to coincide with an Illustration Friday topic, I will submit it for the challenge.

Anyhow, I will be doing my daily/weekly drawings in my two moleskines (3.5″x5.5″ and 5.25″x8.25″). I love the small sizes of the moleskines because they facilitate quick sketches and paintings – lending a more loose style.

Here are a few of the drawings from today…
