A Beginning
Welcome to my sketchblog! I’ve been trying to sketch more regularly and hope this will be a good motivator to keep me going.
A few years ago I published two issues of Trumpetvine Travels, a zine focused on sketching. It was a wonderful experience: I loved planning and creating the issues and I met many wonderful people as a result. However, the tasks of printing, binding, tracking, and shipping proved to be too much and I could not continue.
I do miss it though and hope to regain some of that magic on a smaller scale here, sharing sketches and some new articles as well.
And so, here we go, off on a new Trumpetvine adventure…

It’s so generous of you to put the Trumpetvine Travels online. I can’t wait to download it at school. I’m on dial-up and it would take forever.

I’m pleased to find your sketchblog too. And, for me, the coffee cup is the ultimate subject matter - and this is a fantastic coffee!

I love this little sketch of your hot beverage. So wonderfully descriptive, yet simply stated. Nicely done.

Beautiful. How did you start? can we buy a copy of the book?
How do we start the basic outline of our subject, especially the human form, head, etc
