My resume is full for 2009, I have 3 shows, now I can get a day job without hurting my chances while applying for a full time teaching job next year, lol.
Thanks Jesse, yeah those are Stalin. I also drew L. Ron Hubbard (founder of the religion Scientology) and Joseph Smith (founded the Mormons), and Jesus. I was drawing cult leaders. Those are all on the right page, and then I went through and drew my cartoons on the left.
Tried to be dirty, gritty, and fast. And you can’t see it in the photos but the paint is thickish, it is acrylic paint mixed with acrylic ink. I recently learned that really gooping paint on makes the colors more intense. Thick paint = saturated colors.
Next time there will be some spray painting.
I wonder about dipping notebooks in thick paint, and then slicing them open with a razor and drawing on the inside like a surgery.
so good Bill…keep it up. I love the cult leader angle…like an NCO who can cast a spell and make you feel comfortable going into satan’s den with no crewserved, a book of wet matches, skittles, and a smoke grenade.
lotta pages. you leave room for the rest of em?
I don’t know how they are going to be displayed…

i’m goin’ for every month. i had a january one collapse on me. i’m gonna double up for march.
i also promised myself one curator credit this year. i’m being amibtious.
normally my notebooks have as many notes (2do lists, thoughts, etc) as drawings.
This one is an exception because it is for an exhibition. That is why it is only drawings.
we should do a SKETCHBOOK legends site and have people post selected pages from old sketchbooks!
how awesome would that be?
Nice work Bill. The dirtyness and energy I like…Green Stalin (?), young Stalin, and the binding/spine drawings are my favorites…(like a kid)

Cult leaders are usually inspiration guys.
Ok, end of transmission
