I’ve decided to start posting some of my sketches here. Preliminary sketches, eliminated sketches and little doodles, stuff I don’t want on my art site which is only for finished works.

I’m also going to try to keep a regular sketch book. I usually put a lot of pressure on myself about my pictures, I want all my paintings and drawings to have both an interesting concept and be perfectly executed, which means I don’t do them as often as I’d like to, and I don’t draw much just for fun anymore.

When I went to university I doodled tons on my papers and notepads, and some of those unplanned doodles turned out to be some of my very best ideas, some of which I later turned into finished paintings. I hope that having a no pressure sketchbook will be like that!

I’m having a commission campaign over at my art site, 50% off commissions until August 31! You can order a portrait, a tattoo design, or just anything you can think of. Perhaps a bookmark or bookplate?

The exact pricing for commissions is decided on an individual basis, but unless it’s something unusual it’s always close to the price examples on my commissions page. The offer does not apply to sculpture, commercial use and other special usage rights. Check out the commission page to learn more.
