Peace And Zombies

I hadn't been planning on sending out cards this year. But then I was doing some Christmas shopping yesterday and came across a 50%-off sale targeting people like me. I could not resist the opportunity of vandalizing a few cards before sending them out.

Daily Sketch: Young Superhero Writer

At an Illustrators' Lost Weekend with David Diaz a few years ago, I was fascinated by how David sometimes uses old postcards and magazine pages as canvases for his sketches. Love this idea.

I've been doing a lot more sketching lately to help keep my line loose and to make sure I don't get too "precious" about my drawing. I took advantage of a sale at my local art supplies store but am also starting to use more found objects as my canvases in an effort to save costs.

In addition to posting some of my sketches here, I've also started posting in my Creative Play Sketches set on Flickr.

In the image above, my sketchbook is the 2010 Royal Astronomical Society Of Canada Observer's Handbook. :-)
