Impossible Things

"There is no use trying, one can't believe impossible things..." said Alice in Wonderland, page 6 of my Travel With Minnie Sketchbook 2011. It is now doing the World Tour, it just left Los Angeles, for Oakland.  You can see this one and many other sketchbooks from June 1st to the 20th at the Pop Up Library, Oakland, California. The Sketchbook Project people are extremely well organized, young, fun, responsible, friendly and helpful. You can't miss it!

Good News!

Good News!, ink, pencil and charcoal, March page of my 2011 Sketchbook: "Travel With Minnie", the original will be  in Oakland, CA, from June 1-20...check it out!

My original pencil and pastel portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, is 20x16, then I photographed my painting, and printed and pasted it on that page of my notebook. I visited the exhibition in iami8bit gallery, 2147 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, this past weekend, it was awesome! On Friday, there were long lines of people to get a library card with which you could check out two sketchbooks and read them there, then come back for more. I went with my friend Lily, we each checked out two notebooks, then exchanged them with neighbors sitting up the stairs, had a glass of wine, and enjoyed the energy, good humor, concentration, friendship, and wonderful vibes coming from everybody there! The Sketchbook Project has a fantastic organization, way to go!!!
