Guest Sketchbook: Gabrielle Bell

In Miami last weekend I got to hang out with Gabrielle Bell and poke through her sketchbook. She doesn't normally post stuff from her sketchbooks, so I'm taking the liberty here, with her permission. You should go read more of her stuff here. We also started a strip together in my journal, which hopefully I'll be able to post sometime soon, once it's done. Gabrielle also prompted some group collaborative drawing with Julia Gfrörer, Leanne Shapton and Craig Thompson, who were also all in town. I'll hopefully be able to post some of that, as well.

Conceptual drawings for an animation project that hasn't entirely left the ground:

And these are a few drawings from Autoptic meetings earlier this year (and one of a colleague at MCAD, Kindra Murphy, from a meeting there last Spring): Zak Sally, Jenny King, Raighne Hogan (twice, in various stages of beard growth), Robert Algeo, Justin Skarhus and Jordan Shively. Somehow I never got around to drawing Caitlin or Tom. Next time.

On the evolution of vertebrates

I recently finished (more or less) a collection of the drawings and strips from my sketchbooks that I've been posting on this blog over the last six or seven years. Below are a few pages I drew while figuring out what I wanted to put on the book's spine (I spent way too much time last week designing some bookmarks using some of the spine outtakes). Below these is the spread where I worked out a statistical analysis of the book's index. Yeah, it has an index. A bit more about the book here. It's due out in late Spring.
