At any given time I’ve got three or four active sketch & notebooks. There’s my default sketchbook, which lives in my backpack but is a bit too big to keep on my desk for quick sketches, doodles while I’m waiting on renders, walking around on lunch break. That’s the one I use when I sit down to draw (it’s very serious). Then there’s my museum/lunchbreak sketchbook, which is perfect for throwing in my jacket pocket, waiting in line @ the DMV, walking around LACMA, etc. I’ve got a sketchbook in my car that I use when I get somewhere early & wind up waiting for people – this happens more often than I’d like it to. And I have a Field Notes notebook. It’s always in my bag. It’s become my work notebook. I draw in it when meetings drag, I take notes about moving things 10px to the left and making the blues “cooler.”

I just finished my latest Field Notes & thought I’d scan a few of the less “worky” pages.

Took me 3 months to go through this sucker. Kind of amazing that it took me that long. Maybe I need to be in more meetings?

No.

Col-erase & Pentel brush pen.

This centerfold is only half-sexy, I suppose.

Yeah, all ladies. So what. Maybe I need to get out more.

It was loud that week.

Honestly I’m more of a brunette guy, but I had a yellow highlighter.

See, those are real “art director” notes on the left.

Robots on my mind. A GerberBot test, sans gerber daisy.

One last quick lady sketch & all the things I used my Field Notes for.

Cheers.
